226 | Jet Lag
What to Expect:
Shane and Abraham discuss what jet lag is and what it isn’t. Further, we talk about ways to treat jet lag that don’t work, or at least are unverified, and ways to manage jet lag that do work. Also, some fun tidbits that might be interesting. For example, did you know that jet lag is worse depending on what direction you are traveling, and that there are two directions you can travel in which you don’t experience it at all?
