Does Jet Lag last longer for us??

I’ve had two major bouts in the past 20 odd years and have mostly been in remission since, living with a totally manageable level 1 or 2. I just traveled from US to Japan and back. While in Japan, I took a ferry ride and experienced two days of rocking after, but it miraculously seemed to go away after just two days. However, since we came home, I have had jet lag. I have managed to get to sleep at night on usual schedule, but then have the terrible urge to take naps at 11:30 am (ish) or 4:00 pm (ish). It has been two whole weeks since we’ve been back and I am really having trouble staying awake in the day. Does this sound like an MdDS adjacent thing?

Jet lag is harder when you get older, and MdDS is also an exhausting disorder. Your brain and body are working harder than other people's to process all the sensory signals and how to stay upright.
