Technical correction that doesn't detract from the prompt:

Caustic = basic substance (PH>7)

Stomach acid is acidic (PH<7)

The dictionary definitions that pop up at the top of google don't seem to specify whether it's an acid or a base, just that it can chemically corrode.

I hate to say this but light-year is a distance, not a unit of time.

And thats exactly the point of jetlag.

If you are in the US your body is used to sun raising at x and setting at y.

Then you go to somwhere in asia, and it becomes x-8 and y-8. And you get confused.

The guys body would be used to earth conditions, and now is somewhere way further and disoriented.

Counterpoint, you don’t say miles of jet lag

You usually don't, but if I read the phrase "3,000 miles of jetlag", I would have a pretty good idea what they implied.

Interstellar travel does not automatically imply any difference of sunrise and sundown. Actually it doesn't even imply any sunrise or sundown at all, or given length of day to be anything close to what it is on earth. I'm just saying, light-year is a unit of distance and all fellow humans I know measure Jetlag in units of time as in "I'm still x hours behind".
