We recently organised a 22-day North American tour which included Yellowknife in Canada (GMT-7 or 15 hours behind Malaysia) and New York in the United States (GMT-5 or 13 hours behind). On the third day after returning to the Southern Hemisphere, I started to experience jet lag.

I felt dizzy even in broad daylight, and wasn’t quite able to control my body mechanisms. At the same time, I was losing my appetite, too. It took a drastic turn for the worse when night fell. No matter how I mentally and physically prepared myself for sleep, there was just no way for me to drift into slumber.
