  乘坐飞机长途旅行之后,很多人都会经历jet lag(飞机时差),到达目的地之后需要适应两三天才能将身体时钟调到当地时间。长假后回到工作岗位还可能经历social jet lag(假后返工时差)。不过,你听说过baby lag吗?

  

什么是“宝贝时差”?

  Baby lag refers to extreme fatigue and disorientation due to the sleep deprivation associated with parenting a baby.

  Baby lag(宝贝时差)指因照顾小孩导致的睡眠不足引发的极度疲惫和精神不集中。

  This phrase is a play on jet lag, the fatigue and disorientation that results from a long flight across multiple time zones, which dates to 1965.

  Baby lag这个说法是对jet lag(飞机时差)表达的演绎。Jet lag一次最早出现在1965年,指搭飞机长途出行,飞过多个时区导致的疲惫的精神不集中。
