time zone change
Clock adjustment traveling
A time zone change is the adjustment required when traveling between regions that observe different standard times.
The phrase covers both the logistical act of resetting clocks and the physical toll of adapting: The time zone change left me exhausted for days.
It often appears in discussions of jet lag, scheduling across regions, or the disorientation of long-distance travel.
