| | Jet Lag - Sleepchannel |
 | | Jet lag, or desynchronosis, is a temporary condition that some people experience following air travel across several time zones in a short period of time. | | | Jet lag (desynchronosis) occurs while rapidly crossing time zones, or, more specifically, it occurs after crossing the Earth’s meridians. | | | This acclimation involves circadian rhythms that, among other functions, are associated with the body’s management of sleep. |

| | Jet Lag |
| | Jet lag is the result of a rather sudden mismatch between the body's own internal clock (circadian rhythms) and that of the environment around us. | | | Numerous approaches have been tried to treat jet lag with varying degrees of success. | | | In the few days before traveling, trying to change your body's internal rhythm to more closely match that of the time zone you will be traveling to may be useful. |

| | Jet lag occurs when the body's biological clock is out of sync with local time. | | | Also, individual susceptibility tends to vary considerably and it is possible that pre-existing sleep deprivation will intensify jet lag. | | | When traveling to a new time zone, our bodies are slow to adjust and remain on their original biological schedule for several days. |

| | Jet Lag |
| | The distress associated with jet lag results when the body's internal clock, or circadian rhythm, becomes desynchronized with the external time zone. | | | Melatonin, which stimulates sleep, is only part of the equation when it comes to jet lag. | | | Thus, melatonin plays an indispensable role in synchronizing the body's internal clock with the external environment and is also a vital component of overall health and well-being (Claustrat B et al 2005). |

| | ScienceDaily: Travelers Can Avoid Jet Lag By Resetting Their Body Clocks |
| | A simple, at-home treatment -- a single light box and the over-the-counter drug melatonin -- allows travelers to avoid jet lag by resetting their circadian body clock before crossing several time zones, according to new research being published in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. | | | Circadian rhythms are important in determining the sleeping and feeding patterns of all animals, including humans. | | | Both bright light and melatonin have successfully been used in laboratory and field settings to "phase advance" (resetting the circadian clock earlier in time so that all the circadian rhythms of the body occur earlier) thereby helping people adapt to night shift work or to a new time zone following rapid transmeridian jet travel. |
