going in what direction shows jet lag?

Travelling east or west across several time zones at high speed causes jet lag.\n \n* Jet lag is a temporary disruption of normal circadian rhythm caused by high-speed travel across several time zones typically in a jet aircraft, resulting in fatigue and varied constitutional symptoms.\n\n* The maximum jet lag a person can experience is 12 hours. If the difference in time between two places is greater than 12 hours, subtract that number from 24. For example, there is a 16 hour time difference between Los Angeles (standard time) and Hong Kong. Thus, 24 − 16 = 8 hours of jet lag. The person will incur the same amount of jet lag as someone traveling between London and Los Angeles, where the actual time difference is 8 hours. Disregard the difference in date if flying across the International Date Line.\n\n* The condition is not linked to the length of flight, but to the transmeridian (ie, East-West) distance traveled. Hence a ten hour flight between Oslo and Johannesburg is less inducive of jet lag than a five hour flight between New York and Los Angeles. There is no firm agreement as to which direction of travel is worse. Some believe that travelling east is worse as it "accelerates" the passage through various time zones (a night might only last 3 hours when flying east), and because the symptoms of travelling west, such as waking earlier in the morning, can be easier to integrate with ordinary life. Others counter that the impact is worse when one travels away from one's "habitual" time zone, and is minimised when returning to it.

1st is correct.\n\n2nd is, though not incorrect, just plain akward. You are saying "what is the best time" that's like asking if you should leave at 1 pm, 3 pm or 6 pm for Thailand. But then you use the word "travel" and not "leave/drive/fly" - so the whole sentence is akward. Don't use it.

the one who answered first... plzzzzzzzzzz\n\nexcellent answer but.. trains moving towards each other can also be said to move in opp directions.

I can only go by my own experiences, and I would argure there must be.  When I used to live by an airport , I got used to some of it but I had to stop a conversation until the plane passed.  It would set me off into an impatient feeling and I would not want to talk any more.  \n\nBeing in traffic can make one very snappy--it takes a couple hours to come down from that--so have it be in your back yard--do you ever come down? The sound of the cars and even the lights.  It's got to add stress.  \n\nMy guess is that there is a higher BP in the city rural or burbs.

Best Answer! \nThis is recorded fact, at the Grenwich university time museum.\nIt is said that you travel in time when you take a fast jet around the world and arrive back in the same spot. The nuclear clock was used to prove this.

Going SIDEWAYS in the US? You mean BACKWARDS surely?

Try runnig ethereal.  It will show you the actual traffic and you can look at stuff by port.  There mays be clues in the content.

No - it will only make you sleepy.  You can't afford to fall asleep while driving, etc.!  Take a deep breath, blow it out slowly - several times a day when you are feeling tense.  On the long flight, drink lots of water & then take your ambien & the time will just"fly by"!  Get a friend to help you if everything hasn't been done by flight day.  You'll be fine!  Good luck!

a direction that has least amount of distraction.

I have flown from Anchorage Alaska to Boston Mass a couple of times, and the flight time from one direction to the next does not change.  The earth is spinning, but so is the air that surrounds it.  If you are flying across the northern half of the country its faster to fly east because of the jet stream

For the B2, the crew has a toilet in the back just like a jetliner, but more austier.  I think they even have a small bed so one can get some rest while the olther flies.\n\nConsidering how bad the sleep is on most civilian jetliners is... Try thinking about sleep while also going over the mission in your head, wondering if anything was forgotten in the plan, wondering if you really did triple check everything, and worrying about being shot at.\n\nActually, that last part is not much different for us ground-pounders.

Jet stream affects the airplane routes. they have to change their routes sometimes, depending on the direction of the jet stream winds. and wind has an impact on the gallons of gas used in cars, when the cars are driving against the winds. then boats in the sea, like fishermans, they risk their lives by going fishing during the sea storms, when their boat flips over.  and sometimes in very windy days, trucks and buses flip over too.

When it's blowing in the same direction you are travelling. You'll be able to travel faster.
