Your body has adjusted to the area and time zone you live in. When you travel east or west, you enter different time zones, each advancing or regressing by one hour the one you've just left. Pretend you fly from wherever you are to London. From the east coast of the U.S. to London you would cross about five times zones. Twelve noon in New York City would be five p.m. in London. Your bodily rhythms would be upset by five hours and the next morning you would probably awaken five hours later than most Londoners. If you went to L.A. from New York City, the time difference would be four hours earlier. Twelve noon in NYC would be 8 a.m. in LA. So, were you to go there, you'd be getting up, probably, four hours earlier than LA citizens since your body's clock would be set to the time of NYC. The difference in how your body and mind work in the new time zone is called jet lag.
Does this help?
