And I have one day before the first day of school- :'v

[@amnotpro9916]

[@travelchick7267]

Meeeeh.... with first day of work tomorrow. I'm so not feeling it....

[@stormneko]

this explains why i don't get jetlag - my sleep schedule is already messed up so it's either business as usual or better

[@isabellb9633]

You two are like a nerdier version of superfruit xD

[@nyaf832]

The rolls are a bit reversed. Lol

[@eduardofromtx]

omg I thought that too!

[@nyaf832]

crap I meant role lol

[@fabulousllamacorn2421]

Is it weird I have an urge that a) Superfruit see this video or another asapScience/asapThought video or b) for them to do a collaboration?

[@nyaf832]

Sitara Khan ME TOO!

[@AsapSCIENCE]

Dem bags under our eyes though. And the Oscar for makeup artist goes to...!

[@hanushreemurali1668]

Good job guys! I love your videos!!

[@kaelanmcalpine2011]

Jokes on us three then, because none of us prior to the video knew or ever heard of Jet Lag before.

[@fabianrodriguez4962]

I have a insulin pump because um diabetic...does that effect me

[@talitajames7652]

[@whimsicalambientisaac5683]

+mrcamerupt lol

[@Blue-cs7pj]

stopfollowingme How would you know?

[@LieutenantNuggets]

The best way to beat jet leg is to not travel, don't even leave your house! It's a scary place outside!

[@DomeSurvivor]

This reminded me of cyanide and happiness's Don't go to space XD

[@kayrose6670]

***** that actually gave me jet lag as i stared staying up way to late watching Netflix and KZbin and thus was waking up at 2pm

[@KiwiKorilakkuma]

Agoraphobia. I think that's it, at least. Look it up.

[@seanm5425]

Indoors, Indoors, Iindoooors. Take it away penny

[@Gibbertini]

I'm sorry, but I can't do that...

[@FaithGrenade]

I'm originally from the US, but my husband and I live in Japan. I've been back home once to visit, and trust me, those 16-22 hour flights are ROUGH. The best way I've overcome jet lag is to just...give myself time to recover from it. I listened to my body, slept when I was tired, and stayed up and as active as possible when I wasn't tired. I tried to take advantage of when I was getting up at insane hours of the morning by doing housework or going for a walk. After about a week, I'd slowly go back to a normal schedule. A lot of these methods do work, but sometimes you just have to give yourself enough time to adjust. For every hour of time zone difference, that's one day you'll need to TOTALLY recover from jet lag. Japan is a 13-14-hour time difference from the US, so count on needing at LEAST 1.5-2 weeks to recover naturally. Great video, guys!

[@sitavarma6697]

Faith Grenade Exactly

[@travelchick7267]

not working when you are working...

[@C0d0ps]

To whoever reads this, I hope you have a wonderful day and no matter what stay happy as that is what matters most in life, You are truly amazing and no one can ever take that away from you, Be happy and enjoy life, We don't have long on earth so make the most of it, Have a wonderful day, Cheers, from dog in a rain coat!

[@C0d0ps]

Barely Laughing Could you translate this into English?

[@C0d0ps]

Barely Laughing Oh.. No, thanks. Have a nice day though.

[@C0d0ps]

Barely Laughing I don't know what "nd" means, but still no thanks.. I like living and therefore I shall keep on rockin' this boat. (I am talking about my life)

[@thomasmay8618]

If you have ny sense at all you would think that "oh well nd sounds like and"

[@jessicakaplan3973]

Thank you for making me feel better about myself!

[@olivianeugeboren602]

nobody's trying to drink like 11 liters of water.

[@ladder7938]

Olivia Neugeboren most likely will get water poisoning

[@anshumans1174]

Roce lol

[@lovsalot12345]

When I travel from different time zones, I use a sleepmask on the flight and sleep according to where I'm landing. If I land in the morning I sleep on the 10 hour long flight to where I'm going. If I land in the evening, I keep myself up with movies and book to make sure that when I land I will be tired enough to go to sleep according to the new time zone😀

[@priyapitre4468]

lahari reddy haha exactly what I was going to say....but it is very hard to do....I try my best, and always fail....

[@jzerballs9937]

lahari reddy This is what I try to do.

[@masterimbecile]

Yep try to do that too. Great for catching up on all those movies I've been missing out on. Also I'm trying out adjusting my in-flight meal schedule according to the destination, though it does make me that one passenger who refuses to eat with everyone else, and the fact that the galley's food warmer only keeps the food for 2 hours means that this method can only work so well.

[@youtooaromatherapy1897]

Sadly I find it very difficult to sleep on transport of any kind especially when I'm main section of the plane i.e. coach. Have to fly 9 hours to India in September so I'd better get used to sleeping during the flight

[@yambaopaula]

When he woke up after the *nap under 30 minutes* thing, it scared the hell out of me. Hahah!

[@italiansoutherner]

It's from a song from the musical "Hairspray."

[@catloverschannel7500]

Yass

[@AntonWilkins94]

The toilet flush always scares me on planes haha. These tips will be very helpful in a few weeks, thanks! Just wish they had wifi on international flights, would really help to pass the time!

[@Factology]

ME ALSO!

[@aaronliwanag4605]

Yeah i personally feel like I'm going to drop something and loose it forever

[@adamdanial968]

OMG SAME AS ME IM AFRAID TO FLUSH THE TOILET IN PLANE SO I DID'NT FLUSH IT LOL

[@wolfthecombatinterpreter208]

I flew from Doha To Los Angles and spent 20 dollars on wifi for nothing, it was good for two hours or three then lost connection above the whole North Atlantic 8 hours and never came back on, i kept watching movies, did some push-ups by kitchen area, did couple of walkings ! And that’s how i did

[@natatruong7194]

I have jetlag and decided to take a 20 min nap my 20min nap became an over 5 hour nap

[@selmama0811]

You can also fast for 16 hours, resets the body's internal clock

[@bluegodofspeed]

These videos are getting better and better! Incorporating drama, knowledge and humour into an amazing video! Love it!!

[@nataliess]

I had Jet lag for about a week, but then my body adapted to the new nature and now it's back to normal ✌

[@ThePureLegend95]

Omg, sometimes I can't even withstand that Greg and Mitch are in a realtionship due to the cuteness overload.

[@emiliomartinez9992]

Thank you two for enlightening me on so many topics! I appreciate it. :)

[@sakshishenoy6422]

When Greg started singing 'Good Morning Baltimore' from Hairspray Hahahahaha xD

[@GlamourHeart]

In a year and about four days, I'm leaving Illinois to go to Italy for a two week school trip limited to a few students, so I'm studying about time, food, clothes, and stuff to make the most of it. This will help me in the future.

[@davidollington6208]

You two are so adorable!! I'm gratefuly my professor linked this video and I got to meet y'all.

[@ThatGirlNamedAlexOfficial]

Yes for that Hairspray reference at 3:36!

[@egaldamez23]

I LOVE you guys and your videos!!

[@10Vsauce]

Awesome glasses! Going to use your tips to prepare for my trip to New York! Thanks again Mitch and Greg!

[@ilovewillsandkate]

Love your videos! Thank you

[@alfredoistic]

I love you guys!! great video!!

[@shaerevai22]

sometimes i don't even comprehend your videos, i just watch them because you are so entertaining

[@markatingi8645]

adjust to a new light schedule , portable light box, drink lots of water (avoid coffee and get an aisle seat), adjust your eating times and exercise, take appropriate naps

[@sammyh2901]

Thank you so much for the tips guys!

[@linathelatina9394]

this is exactly what I need for the summer

[@EmdrGreg]

I find that when I use noise reducing headphones, even if I'm staying close to my own time zone, makes the flight less exhausting.

[@LittleSolarSystemOfficial]

Greg Scott I guess it helps make the engines quiet. Personally, though, I feel that headphones give me a sense of trap-ness.

[@EmdrGreg]

I can understand that.

[@nightsbeatswitchgood]

I find the same. I have a pair of noise-canceling headphones. They help A LOT.

[@EmdrGreg]

Amazing, aren't they?

[@nightsbeatswitchgood]

very! wouldn't travel without them! ;)

[@SuzuStarlight]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm going to Japan in September and I am gonna try as many of these tips as possible :)

[@jnwin]

i played the ending so many times(5:02)! you guys are so awesome, I love you two!

[@AleksanderJDimas]

LOVING Tracy's cameo at 3:36 !

[@evilqweengacha6377]

Once I get home I will have one day before school starts to fix my jet lag. Please wish me luck...

[@steve8D]

Thank you, it's very helpful when I go to California this Sunday

[@sk8tergrl687]

Loved that Hairspray reference!!!

[@dianab206]

You two are AMAZING love from California :) these tips have helped my jet lag!

[@randijean6041]

Hairspray!!!!! That is amazing! I love you guys so much!!!!

[@alexvesel1]

You should also line up your sleep schedule so you never sleep at 6-7 pm. If you're exhausted after your flight, to make sure you get a good night's sleep and adjust to the time zone quickly go to bed at or after 7 pm. If you're taking a nap, make sure to wake up before 6 pm or you'll be way too well-rested for your regular sleep schedule and it'll take longer to adjust to the time zone.

[@kirkyloox]

Greg waking up from his under 30 mins nap is possibly one of the best things I've ever seen

[@stasianavarro2866]

yass queen of light

[@KellieChasity]

Going to utilize this for my upcoming trip !

That waking up sequence confirms it. Greg is my spirit animal

[@acmulhern]

I never have jet lag. My trick is to NEVER nap. It sounds brutal, but it works. My husband used to suffer from jet lag before we met, but since I drag him around as soon as we arrive and don't let him rest at all, he's usually in great shape from day 2. You can go to bed early though if you're really exhausted, but try and stay up to at least 8pm ;)

[@rubymimosa]

I will usually sleep the whole of my travel time (I'm usually flying to Europe and arrive in the morning). Alternately, I make sure I don't go to bed until it's night time wherever I've landed. On the way back I make sure to stay awake so when I arrive back mid-afternoon I only have to stay awake a few hours before blessed sleep.

[@jellevm]

Thanks! Will be helpful when I go to China in 3 weeks =]

[@jackandpeter23]

Lazhward Kirmist I'm going to China too in 4 weeks

[@Emily-rt9vl]

And 16 Litres of water altogether there and back

[@niannian24]

im going to have a 21 hours flight. so... that means i have to drink water as heavy as my luggage.

[@ratherryan]

Interesting and funny video, much helped by the sketch element haha. I liked it.

[@muffy7672]

I like Gregs glasses

[@ArielleDatnoff]

I love your guy's acting skills. Makes my whole day better. *Just get me a pizza.*

[@normalgirls1]

I don't get jet lag because my sleeping schedule was always messed up ever since elementary school. Even on super long 12 hour transfer flights

[@miriamalexis]

Loving the whale pillow cases 😊

[@rtd566]

Two days ago I flew from New York to Dubai for vacation, it's 4:00 AM and I feel like I could be up for hours.

[@blkganymede]

Thanks for the tips guys!!!!

[@shoeinabasket4718]

[@Aatthis]

That water scene was... so funny!

[@snrdivan]

YAAAAAAAD QUEEN OF LIGHT

[@analyssetodd1069]

"Will you get me a pizza?" Basically describes my life 😂😂😂

[@rachelwalton813]

Nicely done!

[@MohammedNatheer]

I read before that eating carbs before and during your flight help, I tried it and worked with me.

[@molly2846]

Lol! Loooooved the Hairspray reference!

[@markatingi8645]

the first experience I got with jetlag was when I flew from Entebbe Uganda to Washington. 8hour time difference was crazy on my body for about 3 months.

[@billythecooljoe]

3:15 Whats exercise? :^)

[@firstlast6266]

billythecooljoe Dat nose

[@chihai712]

That sunlight scene was hilarious

[@ipsilonia]

I love these two so much *____* one second I'm learning some cool new science fact and the other second I'm laughing my a$$ off. perf.

[@taules02]

I love Greg's shirt, I so want one!

[@jillalexisrivera7099]

Hey hey! I'm a flight attendant and (I loooovvveee your channel!) an expert at jet-lag (not the science of it, just the 'feeling' of it!). Jet lag tips? I always say don't stress too much about it. Your body will tell you when it needs rest so just follow it (but yes, time your naps because sleeping for 12 hours straight can feel ridiculous sometimes-like you wasted a whole day of your life or something like that!) Then just enjoy things as they are; focus on your current surroundings and environment, and don't think too much about the time difference. If it's night time and you should be getting some sleep, try to keep the same habits you do before going to sleep at home, like reading a book, etc. you could also bring your favorite blanket or whatever it is that makes you feel totally comfortable and at home. Sounds silly but it works! P.S: Have I mentioned how much I loooovveee your channel? Peace! ;)

[@annak9096]

That Hairspray reference at 3:39 though! XD

[@notausedchannel3168]

You guys saved my life

[@kamirareed722]

This was so funny and informational

[@Incognegrorn]

Those new glasses are really working

[@kickrocksmaybe]

I loved when Greg chugged that glass of water. Excellent.

[@emiliamay6153]

I loved the Hairspray refrance

[@KooKarWai]

You guys are soooooooooooooo adorable together!

[@lovipoekimo176]

LOL at that "Hairspray" song.

[@Vissie14]

I'm flying from the Netherlands to China in 5 days, this video had perfect timing for me!

[@SgtClueLs]

I've only traveled east about 9 hours. I can't really sleep on a plane so I found if I just stay up by walking around outside, while I get miserably tired one day, it is a lot easier to suffer one day than the few days it takes if I nap. Traveling to Vietnam this winter, a full 12 hour shift, and I'm not looking forward to the jet lag.

[@ivanvinogradov1375]

I travel a lot, so here is a tip that helps me: If you are abroad and you are very tired and want to sleep, but it is, lets say, only 5 pm in that country, then FORCE yourself to stay active and go to bed only when you normally do (10pm-12pm). Then you will get a nice sleep and have enough energy for the rest of the day, instead of waking up at 3 in the morning and going to bed at 5 pm :)

[@xyrkiejohn26]

I'm at my office and watching this to get over my still jet lag its been a almost a week

[@aritmay2327]

I never had a jetlag but last summer I went to sweden and during this time the sun does'nt set in the northern countrys. It was so hard to get some sleep and thats how I think a jetlag feels :D

[@v1shy949]

usually if i arrive after 9am in the country or whatever i dont sleep at all on the plane which makes me really tired around 7-8pm which kicks me out of jetlag really fast and vice versa before 9 am

[@imo11713]

just got back to the UK after being in the US for a month and i only went to sleep at 6am im dead

[@ChristianJiang]

Thank you! I'm going to Beijing this summer. I'll remember this video ;)

[@2Land]

Great video. Most of us will try it all to avoid it...!

[@taithai9909]

+3:38 GOOD MORNING BALTIMORE!

[@sashazahradnikova7701]

For me it is best to use my tendency to have longer than 24 hours biorhythm. So i actually don't get any major jetlag when travelling west, i just get tired at normal time, not at 1 AM as at home. And when going back east, i prolong my day, go to sleep early in the evening local time and then wake up with normal people, not my usual "anything before 10 AM is too soon". Works for travelling between central europe and california.

[@freddypedraza2066]

You have to stay awake the whole day to sleep at night, it's like working graveyard but worse

[@kel8029]

I just love the music❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
