Absence + Jetlag

Everytime I travel and go to a place where the clocks are ahead from my point of departure, I suffer jetlag. It has manifested to me by way of not being able to sleep in the usual dreamland local time — the most common one — and eating, either too much or none at all.

I’ve read somewhere that one will be able to adjust to the local time by the time difference between the point of origin and the destination. So, for example, if I left London and went to Jakarta, then it will take my body 7 days to adjust to the local time. Haven’t been able to prove nor test this yet mainly because the length of time I stay is shorter than the supposed number of days.

But … and here is my real dilemma …

Does missing someone make jetlag worse?

I think it does.
