jet lag
tiredness after crossing time zones
Jet lag is the tired and confused feeling you get after travelling quickly across several time zones.
Hear it in real life
You look exhausted.
I am still suffering from jet lag.
I had terrible jet lag and kept waking up at three in the morning.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: I had a jet lag after the flight.
Say: I had jet lag after the flight.
“Jet lag” is normally uncountable, so do not use “a” before it.
