Jet lag is a temporary sleep issue that can affect those who travels across several time zones.
Our body has its own internal clock, called circadian system that follows the rhythms of night and day and signal us when to stay awake and to sleep or regulates your sleep-wake cycle.
Airplane travel confuses this clock, causing the phenomenon known as jet lag.
Jet lag occurs because the body’s circadian system is synchronised to our local or original time zone. The more time zones are crossed, the more likely we are to experience jet lags.
This condition can affect your comfort especially while on vacation or during a business trip.
For example, if you leave New York on a flight at 4 p.m. on Tuesday and arrive in Paris at 7 a.m. Wednesday, your internal clock still thinks it’s 1 a.m. That means you’re ready for bed.
A key influence on circadian rhythms is sunlight, that affects the regulation of melatonin, a hormone that helps cells throughout the body work together.
Cells in the tissue at the back of the eye transmit light signals to an area of the brain called the hypothalamus.
Melatonin is a natural hormone that plays a role in the day-night cycle (the circadian rhythm).
During daylight, the pineal gland in the brain produces an important neurotransmitter called serotonin. But at night, the pineal gland stops producing serotonin and instead makes melatonin. This melatonin release helps trigger sleep.
The amount of melatonin production varies according to the intensity of light to which you’re exposed; for example, your body produces more melatonin in a completely dark room than in a dimly lit one.
This cyclic pattern of melatonin release helps set the body’s biologic clock.
When the light is low at night, the hypothalamus signals to a small organ in the brain called the pineal gland to release melatonin. During daylight hours, the opposite occurs. The pineal gland releases very little melatonin.
Because light is so crucial to your internal clock, you may be able to ease your adjustment to a new time zone by exposing yourself to daylight.
