A member asked:

How long does jetlag keep you feeling tired and off schedule?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Time zones: It depends on how many time zones (and which direction travelled. If you travel a long ways and when you land you spend most of your time inside (at a convention, say) it can last a week or more. 1 or 2 time zones and a normal schedule and you should be fine in a day or two.
