PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Your body has its own internal clock, called circadian rhythms. They signal to your body when to stay awake and when to sleep. Jet lag occurs because your body’s internal clock is synced to your original time zone.

Detailed explanation-2: -Jet lag is a relatively common form of circadian disruption occurring when the core circadian system is out of synchrony with the environment due to the rapid shift of the light-dark cycle.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Circadian rhythms that are expressed in the absence of any 24-hour signals from the external environment are called free running. This means that the rhythm is not synchronized by any cyclic change in the physical environment.
