Message: [QUOTE="j66kicker, post: 2988906, member: 4447"] Must be an individual thing. I traveled quite a bit for a long time - not 150 nights per year, but China 10X in one year while working around projects in Brazil, Europe, Australia, etc. Most years not that extreme, but I traveled a lot to drastically different time zones. To me there were 2 types of jet lag learning. First just learning how to deal with it the best way for you. Still had to fight through it but you learn how to make it easier on yourself. Second, during stretches of really zipping around and never getting settled into one time zone, I found the jet lag to be less - maybe just never quite getting readjusted to your home time zone made it easier to adjust back out of it. The first type of learning sticks with you. The second type goes away as soon as you finally stay in one place and get settled in for a few weeks. For both the jet lag and the other inconveniences of travel, I think it makes a huge difference if you really enjoy and are excited about the reason for your trip, or the novelty of going to a new place, or SOMETHING that has you psyched about your trip. That excitement/enthusiasm can get you through the jet lag and also cause all kinds of other enjoyment. I can imagine if your mission is just a drag, then the travel would just make it that much worse. [/QUOTE]
