Would your mental clock be messed up if you went fast enough?

If, hypothetically, you went so fast that the earth's rotation couldn't keep up and you kind of lapped the sun twice. Would you get messed in the head?

    You don't have to go that fast.

    All you need to do is go for a 15 hour plane ride in an easterly direction.

    Say from Dubai to Australia. It is a 15 hour flight and you get all messed up.

    It is called JET LAG.

    Astronauts on the space station experience a sunrise every 90 minutes. They seem to be fine. Why wouldn't they?

    Well, you're internal clock would likely be keeping good time; but your external clock - where you are on Earth - would be constantly changing...

    It would mess with your head.

    No. Time is relevant to the observer, in this case, you. Time would appear to go by as always.
