The only way to keep up with the latest about jet lag and circadian rhythms is to constantly stay on the lookout for new information. If you read everything you find about jet lag and circadian rhythms, it won t take long for you to become an influential authority.

Most of this information comes straight from the jet lag and circadian rhythms pros. Careful reading to the end virtually guarantees that you ll know what they know and then can properly apply the knowledge to your next adventure, wherever it may lead you.

The old adage early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy wealthy and wise could offer a deeper insight than once thought. If you have ever woken up a minute before your alarm clock went off or randomly guessed the time and you were right in those moments your body s natural rhythms were in perfect harmony with your environment. The body circadian rhythms, commonly referred to as your biological clock, is a highly evolved system in the human body that does much more than just give you sense of the time.

This natural rhythm is most important to understand in the modern day world as transportation technology now has the ability to dramatically alter the natural indicators that keep these rhythms in harmony. As you will see, the body does not react well when these rhythms are affected.

The body s circadian rhythm is the control system that regulates when and how you get hungry, digest your food, produce urine and bowel movements, you regulate your blood pressure and body temperature. With so many critical bodily functions so closely intertwined to these rhythms you can begin to see why any disruption could create symptoms of illness. The crossing of multiple time zones when traveling creates a new environment that your body will be forced to synchronize all of these behaviors and functions to. This unhinging of your natural time tables and body cycles is what is then experienced as Jet Lag.

Originally evolved into the human body based on the light patterns of the day these natural rhythms are already under constant bombardment from many external factors in your everyday life. Artificial lighted environments can have a detrimental effect on these rhythms be creating false indicators that your body could misinterpret. This fake light can disrupt the bodies melatonin production and in turn keep your internal clock on the wrong time and you up at night.

With so many factors working against a healthy, stable, well regulated body cycle we should all do everything we can to hedge against these known external influences. Better preparing for trips or following best practices when sick can help alleviate additional symptoms that could be prevented. Even the simple things such as staying hydrated and wearing comfortable non binding clothes can make a big difference and are often overlooked.

So now you know a little bit about jet lag and circadian rhythms. Even if you don t know everything, you ve done something worthwhile: you ve expanded your knowledge.
