on the PGA Tour deal with a number of intangibles on a daily basis and while fl
ying. They are continually traveling, changing time zones, facing delays, and su
ffering from jet lag. And there is the 6p finish and 5a starts. Such quick turna

motional and mental fatigue of both winning and losing. Dr Ara talks about how j
et lag has a huge impact on the body. Jet lag has been described as physical and
mental tiredness from sleep disturbances felt by a person after a long flight a
cross several time zones. This causes a significant drop in performance. Jet lag

30 minutes to reduce lingering in-flight stress.
