Jet Lag is basically something that occurs in a person after he or she has been on a flight for an extensive amount of time. For the most part, as I understand it, the main issue that people have is tiredness or fatigue. And sometimes it takes a little time for your body and mind to bounce back and get back on track to how you usually feel.

This would give you a more complete idea:

Let's say you live in New York and your flying to California. It will feel as if it's three hours later. Basically, it's a type of sleeping disorder and can last for several day depending how much of a change there was in the time zone. Jet lag most commonly happens on planes. I've heard it can happen with train, but is very rare. Most commonly for fast flying aircrafts. Jet lag will last till your body gets used to the new time zone. For a while your body is confused Becuse let's say where you live you go to bed at 10:00 and where you are it's after 2:00. Your body will be kinda confused. When you have jet lag, you may experience dizziness, anxiety, constipation, and maybe even memory loss.

Jet lag means when you fly from a place with a different time zone than where you are going and your time perception is off. Basically, you feel like it is a different time than it is and it takes a couple days for your brain and body to be at the same time zone that you are in… if that makes sense. Like if I am in New York City and I just flew from Paris… I would feel like it is day when it is night or vice versa. Or even New York City and Los Angeles.. is 3 hours differemce. .it would feel different going to and from those cities.
