Jet Lag
 
I don't think jet lag issues have to do with age. I'm not sure what it has to do with. I've never had problems with it. Thank goodness, because my late husband had terrible problems when we traveled back and forth to Europe many years ago. I just got back to the mainland after 2 months in Hawaii and have not experienced any problems although there is a six hour difference. Can't explain it, but I'm grateful.:)

I sleep 8 hours the night before the trip and get up early in the morning and stay up until the flight for international flights. I go right to sleep after the meal service and wakeup before breakfast. I am able to keep myself awake until a civilized bedtime at the destination. I may take a 40 minute nap if I am exhausted which is rare.

.......

Overall I think jetlag is very manageable.
Know how some people are tall? Some people sleep more/less. Some people can run fast. Some have fast reflexes. Some are smart. Some are stupid.

Your statement should read overall I think jetlag is very manageable TO ME. Not everyone can take a nap. Not everyone can sleep on a plane. Not everyone's circadian rhythm adjusts as quickly. Some people need more sleep than others.

Congrats on having the superpower of not having an issue with jet lag. It will come in handy for international meetings.

Jet lag is a real issue for a lot of people.
