PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Jet lag can occur anytime you cross two or more time zones. Crossing multiple time zones puts your internal clock out of sync with the time in your new locale. Your internal clock, also called circadian rhythms, regulates your sleep-wake cycle.

Detailed explanation-2: -This changing rate of activity over each 24-hour period is called the circadian rhythm (’circadian’ means approximately one day). Travelling to a different time zone disrupts the circadian rhythm. Lack of sleep before and during travelling can also contribute to jet lag.

Detailed explanation-3: -The types of circadian rhythm disorders are advanced or delayed sleep-wake phase disorder, irregular or non–24-hour sleep-wake rhythm disorder, and shift work or jet lag disorder. The type you may have is based on your pattern of sleep and wakefulness.

Detailed explanation-4: -Circadian rhythm is the internal biological clock that regulates body functions based on our wake/sleep cycle. It can be disrupted by changes in sleep pattern. Aircrew members may experience circadian rhythm disruption (specifically “jet lag”) as they work.
