Sorry for the crossposting-
I hope someone can clarify this for me and my students. When I
check out jet lag, it is supposed to be worse when going westward, i.e.setting
the internal clock back. Yet my personal experience and those of a group
of my students who just retrurned from a trip where they moved 7 time zones
ahead found that is harder to go backward. This latter finding squares
with the recommendation for easing the adjustment to shift changes, which is
to go forward rather than backward, i.e. from day to evening to night. Any
data on this?

I made a mistake in my original post- it is supposed to be harder to go
eastward, setting the clock ahead, but that is inconsistent with the research on
shift work, as I said.
