My family and I flew back to California after nine months of being in Guam, and boy are our arms tired! OK, our entire bodies are tired, and our brains—we’re suffering from jet lag and feeling tired during the day.
This isn’t necessarily a problem—jet lag is to be expected, after all—but tiredness can affect everything in your life. I find myself less able to do work, more overwhelmed when I’m behind on email and messages, less able to keep up with healthy habits, more likely to eat junk food, and in worse moods.
