Ship lag

Time change is easier to handle when the journey takes longer (weeks vs. hours), even if it still causes challenges for others and their timepieces:

The ship was gaining a full hour every three days …

We sent him to the captain, and he explained to him the mystery of “ship time” and set his troubled mind at rest.

The book does not include details of the reverse effects of losing a full hour every three days at the other end of the journey.

I know some people who cherish traveling west even today for the time gained in additional rest and more natural inclinations towards early hours, even if temporarily.
