When we arrived in North America, our flight from Stockholm to Chicago arrived at about the same time that it had left. We were in transit 24 hours and didn't really manage even to nap, but we didn't notice any real jet lag. We slept relatively little the first day and managed to sleep closer to 9 or 10 most of the other ones.
When flying back to Finland, the Chicago-Stockholm leg lasts 8 hours in the air but arrives 16 hours after it left. We got up at 4 am Central time to drive to the airport, and at 11 pm Central time we were getting off the plane in Stockholm in the early morning. We both managed to nap on and off but essentially we went to bed 28 hours after we got up and slept 20 hours Thursday night, but then we also slept until after noon Saturday and Sunday, and I napped yesterday and woke up at 5 pm today! Also, though, I have woken up in the middle of the night or early morning, read a single fic on my phone and then gone back to sleep.
Now, in the winter that wouldn't even be that weird for me because when the sun isn't shining I can sleep almost all the time. But for summer it's very strange. I haven't been getting hungry right either. It's annoying. I have shit to do!
