Dunno, something to do with the clocks going forward or backward, but me personally I get it both ways. I had jetlag so bad one time I wanted to go to Emergency. I travelled for about 3 weeks straight and was so jetlagged I couldn`t stand up without puking.

Travellers going west face a bedtime later than the one in their old time zone. Travellers going east often face bedtimes earlier than the environment in which they’ve just been. It is more difficult to force yourself to sleep than it is to stay awake so the West-bound traveller will experience fewer sleep problems and thus a lighter dose of jet lag
