Jet lag disrupts internal clocks, leading to symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, and digestive issues. Frequent travelers, including athletes and CEOs, share tips to mitigate the effects. Mickey Beyer-Clausen, CEO of the Timeshifter app, emphasizes the importance of managing light exposure based on circadian rhythms to combat jet lag. The condition arises from a mismatch between local time and internal biological clocks, requiring strategies to reset and harmonize these systems for better performance post-travel.
"Jet lag can cause brain fog, excessive fatigue, moodiness, and digestive issues, which can prevent you from staying focused and making quick, clear decisions."
"To prepare for next time, I asked for advice from frequent fliers - from a pro athlete who competes across timezones to a CEO who takes meetings across the world."
"Mickey Beyer-Clausen, a 50-year-old Danish entrepreneur, is the co-founder and CEO of the Timeshifter app for reducing jet lag."
"Jet lag happens when there's a disparity between your surrounding time zone and your internal clocks, as different systems and tissues keep time separately."
