By day, [[proxy jetlag]] is rather like being [[Jonathan Harker]] in the early stages of {{br|Dracula}}. You creep around a deserted castle, shrouded in half-light with all the curtains drawn. If you should happen to turn on any lights, there will be a sudden, bloodless scream, a bundle of what you thought was a bundle of rags or discarded unwashed laundry will animate and a pale (yet strangely tanned) zombie with dead eyes will wave woozily at you by way of mortal plea to return to a state of darkness. | By day, [[proxy jetlag]] is rather like being [[Jonathan Harker]] in the early stages of {{br|Dracula}}.
