Lagomorphic Bunnifications
It is the season of silly travel once more. Which means, well, this sort of thing:
Now, I work in an office which is full of people who do silly travel all of the time, so I get to hear lots of jetlag anecdotes and rules-of-thumb; the idea that it takes about a day per hour of time difference to acclimatise, the idea that it's worst going East and best going West and so forth. One interesting suggestion was that, given a large enough time difference experienced in one lump, the body clock just goes 'waaah' and effectively reboots, rather than trying to adjust gradually. Of course there are all sorts of other factors, not least that experiencing a large time difference in one go generally involves having taken a very long and tiring journey. But the one experience I've had with large time differences (9 hours Westward) seemed to be in agreement with this notion.
I was going to systematically plot all my jetlag experiences on a totally non-scientific graph. In fact I sort of did[1].
But I've realised that I can't actually remember how long it took for most places I've been, unless they were in some way notable by being very bad or good. So if you want to add any data points [Edit: which I will plot in enticingly different colours], feel free to comment with your experiences!
DISCLAIMER: I'm counting only outward trips, no jetlag-reducing drugs were involved, everyone is a special snowflake, graph will be updated if I feel like it (but this requires ~3 commands and takes ~10 seconds).
[1] Yes, this does count as procrastination - I'm going to be working at the weekend so I figure I might as well get the procrastination in now.
