    I have the worst jet lag ever.
    Its been like that for a week, i am awake most of the day and i become really tired in day light, so i fall a sleep from like 12-1 pm till 8 pm and its the worst feeling ever.
    I really don’t wish anyone to experience it.
    It fucks up my whole day.

    Jet lag is more effective but easier to handle over shorter trips. I live in India. In 2019, I visited London which was 4.5 hours behind India. I was there all of 3 days, and ended up waking up 4 am and going to sleep by 9 pm almost involuntarily each day. It was weird at first, but I got used soon enough. It also helped me get back to the normal schedule once I was back in India.

  • @aquarius8k56
    @aquarius8k56 3 роки тому +1

    I am not here to offer tips on how to prevent and or cure jetlag. I am here to offer a simple experiment all air travelers can perform before and during your air travels. Get a weight scale that will easily fit in your backpack. Take an inventory of the clothes and accessories youre wearing and weigh yourself at the airport terminal before you board your flight and write what you weighed so you dont forget. After the aircraft gets to its maximum altitude get your scale out and weigh yourself again and write what you weigh at that altitude.The premise or assessment here is that Earth's magnetic field is more dense at ground level and so people and objects weigh more at sea level and weigh less the higher we get because Earth's magnetic field becomes increasingly less dense the further away we get from Earth. So air travelers are experiencing only partial gravitational forces unlike the astronauts who experience zero gravity at the ISS. So i guess you could say air travelers are mini-astronauts or astronauts in training..So partial gravitational forces being experienced by air travelers may be the cause of jetlag.

    No such thing as continental drift or plate tectonics, for every reaction there is an equal and opposite reaction and when the magnetic (axis) pole moves the earth tips (normally twice a year) in the opposite direction changing its exposure to both Moon and Sun.
    As the Earth tipping has been longitudinal, some but very little compass variation is detected in these times of erratic tippings ( earth changes). Changes in radiation levels run our world, every thing from jet lag to migration. It is commonly excepted that the Moon magnetically tugs on an ocean creating the bulge responsible for ocean tides.
    I claim the ocean bulge is caused by the Moon blocking or interfearing with incoming dark matter (gravity).
    Erratic Earth tipping causes an immediate change in Moon Earth exposure creating gravity (pressure) to interact with the bulge creating a Tsunami!
    (and then the sound responsible for an earthquake)
