A
Orexin levels in his brain
B
melatonin levels in his brain
C
internal circadian rhythms
D
all of the above are affected
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Jet lag occurs because your body’s internal clock is synced to your original time zone. It hasn’t changed to the time zone of where you’ve traveled. The more time zones crossed, the more likely you are to experience jet lag.

Detailed explanation-3: -Jet lag is caused when passengers do not exercise enough during the flight, while jet fatigue is caused when passengers drink too many carbonated drinks during the flight.

Detailed explanation-4: -Reset your watch when you board the plane. Avoid alcohol and caffeine. Get some sleep. Avoid watching TV when you should be sleeping. Eat at destination meal times. Stay hydrated. Avoid sleeping pills. 03-Oct-2018
