What makes jet lag worse
Jet lag happens when your body clock is out of step with a new time zone. Some habits make the adjustment slower and harder.
Crossing multiple time zones quickly
Too much caffeine close to bedtime
Alcohol during or after the flight
Limited daylight exposure on arrival
Not adjusting your sleep schedule in advance
When to seek urgent help
Jet lag itself is not dangerous and usually settles within a few days. However, seek prompt medical attention if you develop symptoms unrelated to travel fatigue, such as chest pain, severe shortness of breath, one-sided leg swelling or pain (which can suggest a blood clot after long-haul travel), or if low mood or confusion is severe or does not improve. These are not typical jet lag and need assessment.
