pride goeth before a fall
“Main Entry: jet lag
Function: noun
: a condition that is characterized by various psychological and physiological effects (as fatigue and irritability), occurs following long flight through several time zones, and probably results from disruption of circadian rhythms in the human body
- jet-lagged /’jet-”lagd/ adjective”
i was soooo smug, thinking i’d discovered the secret to conquering jet lag after having travelled through 24 time zones. i confidently told people, “you just have to power through the first day, force your body to adjust, show it who’s boss.”
ha. ha. ha. god was just *waiting* to smite me for my insouciant self-satisfaction. the past several days can only be characterised as the walking dead.
jet lag sucks.
that is all.
