The Worst Jet Lag We’ve Ever Had (And What We Learned)

Jet lag is no joke… especially when it hits at 3:00 a.m. with a singing toddler. 😅 In this video from Bratislava, Slovakia, we share our worst jet lag experiences from years of international travel — from flying back from China and Japan with little kids, to nearly falling asleep standing up at the Vasa Museum in Stockholm, to being so exhausted after Brazil that we had to turn around and stay at the airport hotel. If you’ve ever struggled with: Jet lag after flying to Europe Jet lag with kids How to adjust to a 12-hour time difference Delayed jet lag when returning home Feeling exhausted after overnight flights …you are not alone. We talk about what went wrong, what we should have done differently, and why that first day schedule matters more than you think. Plus, Jocelyn shares her “2–3 days later crash” that many travelers don’t expect. Whether you’re heading to Europe, Asia, or just crossing U.S. time zones, this video will help you prepare for the reality of jet lag — the funny, the painful, and the downright dangerous (don’t drive exhausted!). 💬 What’s YOUR worst jet lag experience?
