They and their spouse are DINKs with no pets.

Perhaps they are abnormally sensitive to environmental cues so that changing time without a corresponding change in sunrise/sunset is what is doing them in
More likely the excitement of travelling is a better cover for the fatigue of changing time zones then just staying in one place with nothing but the clock changing.
