Okay, well the Hacksized version is Australia is really only 7 hours time difference, not 17. And London is an 8-hour difference, and McVay’s plan worked fine.
Is this a “how your body clock relates to daylight” thing v. “the actual hours as determined by a timer” thing?
I don’t know. I’m sure there are scientists who have studied jet lag, but they’re all liberals with a liberal agenda, so they are probably lying about their findings because they hate America. And no other countries have any scientists that study jet lag, or infectious diseases, or climate change, who could reinforce the findings. But I don’t know.
All I know – from my personal experience – is that the first time I travelled internationally (when I moved to England), I was whacked out for about 5 days, and every other time I’ve travelled, it’s been a quicker recovery. And I don’t think a 7 hour difference would really throw me off if I was an athlete who had to compete.
