People crossing 3 or more time zones during air travel often experience uneasiness due to the alteration of their body's circadian rhythm or their internal body clock. This condition is know an Jet Lag and someone who is going through this psychological condition is said to be Jet Lagged. Jet lag is a result of long distance trans-meridian travel, leaving the body clock out of synchronization with the destination time.
