Dr. Cohen with the sleep lab at St. Bernards said this is what doctors refer to as “Monday jetlag.”…Sleeping in on the weekends can “re-set’” your body clock causing you to have a jet-lagged feeling on Monday morning. This feeling can last one to three days.» —“Not Getting Enough Sleep Can Cause ‘Monday Jet lag’” by Brandi Hodges KAIT-TV (Jonesboro, Arkansas) June 20, 2007. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
