Questions

Why is flying east worse for jet lag?

Your body clock naturally runs a little longer than 24 hours, so it's easier to stay up later (flying west) than to fall asleep earlier (flying east).

How long does jet lag last?

A common rule of thumb is about one day per time zone crossed going east, and a bit less going west.
