New parents who mistakenly put milk in a washing machine and socks in a fridge are not going crazy…they are suffering from 'babylag’.

Of course, our daughter had slept. It was her parents who were paralytic with fatigue. We slept in shifts. Mother and daughter sat on the balcony overlooking a pool, a busy four-lane thoroughfare and off in the distance, the beach, while father recovered from 'baby lag.'

Jet lag strikes suddenly. The victim disembarks from the..plane feeling gay as a sprite, dashes through customs, checks into home or a hotel,..greets friends and in the course of the next few hours falls into a light coma.
