Most people experience worse jet lag as they get older. There are reasons for that, because early in life, patterns of melatonin release are very stable and flat and very high, actually, in children. Then it becomes cyclic during puberty, meaning, it comes on once every 24 hours and turns off once every 24 hours. And then as we get older, the cycles get more disrupted.
