Jet lag

Jet lag is a common condition that occurs when the body's internal clock, or circadian rhythm, is disrupted due to travel across multiple time zones. Symptoms of jet lag can include fatigue, insomnia, irritability, digestive problems, and difficulty concentrating.

The body's internal clock is subject to a variety of environmental cues, such as daylight, mealtimes, and social interactions, which can result in jet lag. Travel across time zones can cause the body to become confused and out of sync, which can result in a variety of symptoms.

To minimise the effects of jet lag, it's important to take steps to reset the body's internal clock as quickly as possible. This may involve adjusting sleep and meal times to the new time zone and exposing the body to natural light and outdoor activities during the day.

In addition, some people find that certain natural remedies or over-the-counter medications can help alleviate jet lag symptoms, such as melatonin supplements or caffeine.
