Keion White's Melatonin Jet Lag Hack | NFL News

0:00It's September 2nd, from kickoff to the final whistle, this is NFL News today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. So the San Francisco 49ers are heading down under, taking a 15-hour flight to Australia. And one of their defensive ends, Keon White, has a pretty wild plan to deal with that long haul. He told reporters he's planning to take five melatonin pills, sleep, wake up, and then take five more, just repeating that cycle. Now while it's unlikely to be fatal, WebMD does mention some not-so-fun side effects if you overdo it on melatonin. We're talking about things like feeling anxious, irritable, confused, or just generally less alert. Hopefully someone on the team's medical staff is keeping an eye on him. The good news for White and the rest of the team is they'll have a full week to shake off any jet lag or potential melatonin-induced grogginus, before they have to hit the field. It gives them plenty of time to adjust to the new time zone and get ready for whatever they have planned.

1:00This whole situation is pretty interesting, showing how different people cope with extreme travel. It's a long way to go, and everyone's got their own methods for trying to make it bearable. It's definitely a unique approach to travel, and we'll have to see if it pays off for Keon White and the Niners as they start their time in. Australia.
