What happened

Everyone loves a long weekend, but, believe it or not, Memorial Day travel may have done more to disrupt your sleep than help you catch up on rest.

Why it matters

Last year, the extended weekend resulted in roughly 45 million Americans traveling.

Common ground

And with the surge in travel plans, there can come some unexpected health consequences — including cases of jet lag.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Appeal to Authority, Glittering Generalities: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
