Sleep is essential for recovery—but when you cross time zones, getting more sleep isn’t necessarily enough to make you feel or perform your best. In this episode, circadian rhythm expert Mickey Beyer-Clausen breaks down how jet lag disrupts your circadian rhythm, why light and darkness are the most powerful tools for resetting your body clock, and how better timing can improve sleep, recovery, energy, and performance.

In this episode:

  • Why jet lag is more than just sleep deprivation
  • How light exposure and light avoidance help reset your body clock
  • Why sleeping more on a flight can sometimes make jet lag worse
  • How circadian timing affects training, alertness, recovery, and performance
  • What most people get wrong about melatonin, exercise, and common jet lag advice
