| All mammals have behavior and physiologic cycles that is regulated
base on genetic and supra kiasmatic nucleuses. These 24 hours
cycle has role in hormonal secretion and behavior especially in
sleep- wake and temperature. Disturbances in this cycle cause jet
lag. This happens in travel across multiple time zones. After
transmeridian flight, internal clock is desynchronized from external
environment and it takes several days to readjust to the new
external time cues. It has symptoms like confusion, insomnia and
lack of concentration. There are many ways to reduce these
symptoms like phototherapy, diet, hydrotherapy and
hormontherapy. There is no effective way to reduce this. This article
is a research in aviation medicine site. |
