Gettin’ crazy in the skies. No, seriously going nutso.

Interesting bits about air travel and varying levels of mental damage:

Flights east are harder on the system than flights west.
Jet lag gets to be an issue when crossing more than three time zones.
Unless you’re staying in your destination more than three days, it’s not worth “switching” to the new time zone.

For more extreme stuff, there’s “Severe mental illness and airports – the scope of the problem.”
