Whether you’re a “Road Warrior” or a vacationer off to a distant land, you likely have your sleep schedule disrupted. According to the Sleep Foundation,
Every day, millions of travelers struggle against one of the most common sleep disorders — jet lag. For years, jet lag was considered merely a state of mind.
Now, studies have shown that the condition actually results from an imbalance in our body’s natural “biological clock” caused by traveling to different time zones. Basically, our bodies work on a 24-hour cycle called “circadian rhythms.”
When we travel to a new time zone, our circadian rhythms are slow to adjust. They remain on their original schedule for several days. As a result, our bodies tell us it’s time to sleep in the middle of the afternoon or keep us awake late at night.
Which means forty winks can sometimes be just the right thing to help readjust.
