Do I have a Jet Lag?

No. I really dont have a jet lag. Many do have it, but some how i had planned my trip. Every American flight has a front TV that always shows you the time in India, Time in Chicago and Time at the Current location. Since most of the flights start at mid-night in india, we definitely have to wake up longer on the day you fly. Once you are in the flight and the flight gets to start, it would be 2am. I started to sleep, Sleep a bit more so you wake up at 2pm or 3pm india time and not at 6am india time. Well, If i could manage that i am sure i would have very less jet lag though. At everytime, i used to either look at both times and plan. Once i am down at chicago, on my flight to dallas, i had a deep sleep for an hour which was at around 10am... but thats ok... first day it would take a bit as you are already tired of the journey but i really didnt feel a jet lag. Oh ok, probably because i had a direct flight from delhi to chicago which was 16.5 hours? Lufthansa would have a break journey and you will have to wake up in the middle of the night to catch another connecting flight. Hmm.. may be... I am just normal with the timings here..

You really don't feel the jet lag that much when you travel west.
Jet lag is more pronounced when you travel from west to east :)

I travelled to canada was surprised not to feel anything and then the wikipedia article on Jet lag and a psychiatric friend of mine cleared it up !
