I am quite convinced that NFL teams most certainly do not travel circa 11,000 miles on a weekly basis and will only cover a maximum of 3 times zones.

Simon Cowell has to simply sit somewhere and listen to some music. Hardly a comparison to someone who is expected to be in the peak of physical condition.

Try telling that to my inner ear which at the minute is giving me the most horrendous dizziness!!

I think everyone who was in Australia should at least have the decency to turn up in Shorts this week.

Fake tan sprays in Hull shops are in very short supply, apparently.

You can fook off...it's going to be freezing!!!

Jet lag is a real thing. It's not just tiredness or mental confusion, it effects hormone levels and organs which contain their own internal clocks. The effects can be managed but not eradicated.

Still more confident about Saturday than I've been for our last few visits though.

And you have a link to evidence for medical opinion?

Maybe it would be easier for you to provide evidence that it doesn't affect anyone.

Seen as though Griffin was up in the middle of the night and decided to do his meal prep for the week suggests that some of the players may be a little out of sorts for a few days this week

Jet lag is much less of a problem after travelling in a westward direction than an eastward direction because it is always easier to shift the body to a later schedule than an earlier one. Think about it, people have little difficulty staying awake a little longer than usual (and sleeping in later than usual) on days off, and this is exactly what happens when traveling west where everything occurs later than in your home time zone. But in the case of eastward travel, forcing yourself to go to bed earlier rarely leads to actually falling asleep earlier than usual, and waking up at 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning is never fun. Heading eastward shifts everything ahead of schedule, and the body definitely doesn’t like this change. In both cases, however, the body’s clock resists any disruption, and thus it takes time to readjust: at least one day per time zone crossed.

Athletes need to be aware of an additional jet lag factor that can especially interfere with their performance: timing misalignment. On top of the “internal body-clock desynchronization” described above, a misalignment between body-clock time and local-clock performance time can create problems even when jet lag symptoms are minimal. Such is often the case when only 3 time zones are crossed and in general it takes a day per 2 times zones to recover.

Think he was up first 2 nights in a row. First night back was up having a protein shake at 4 in the morning and then the next night as you say he was meal prepping.

Hence why you prepare your body, sleep pattern and mind BEFORE and AFTER your trip.

This is what professionals do, it's not rocket science and there are tried and tested methods. Maybe all those Olympic athletes that are going out 4-5 days before big events at the other side of the world and winning gold medals are just freaks of nature?

Jet lag is real you donkey
I’ve been back to Aus many times and each time it’s a killer in first 4 days minimum
Hopefully it’s shaken off before the game
Hand Eye skills will be tested for sure

He will, once he has proven the world is flat....

Are you a professional athlete, did you prepare king before the travel and did you also do what you needed to in flight and after you arrived back to negate the time zone difference?
I'll take that as a no shall I?
Calling people names immediately dismisses anything you have to say, you can't even be bothered to read what was said properly!
