Today was an abnormally long flight due to wind and was a bit over 6 hours. I'm coming up on 50 and keep expecting to feel the "lag" at some point but just never seem to. Am I just not lying far/long enough or am I lucky?
My mother suffers badly from jet lag - even if only changing the clock by an hour.
It doesn't run in the family though as I've never experienced it, not even between west coast USA and London in either direction. I do sleep well on flights but generally just slot into whichever time zone I find myself in. My body clock is pretty much broken though.
