About Jet Lag
When a flight crosses time zones the body clock takes a few days to catch up. People often find they cannot sleep at night and are tired in the day. They may want to eat at the wrong times and have reduced energy in the day.
Jet lag occurs when there is a 3-hour or more time difference between local departure and arrival time. The more time zones crossed the more likely there is to be jet lag. Jet lag tends to be worse traveling East rather than West. Travelers from Europe to Asia and SE Asia are more affected than those going to the Americas.
How Melatonin Works
Melatonin is a natural hormone the amount of which goes up and down in a cycle over each day, regulating sleep and wakefulness. Boosting the amount of melatonin in the body with tablets taken in the evening reduces jet lag.
Melatonin is safe for regular and occasional travelers and has been used by the military.
Jet lag can be unpleasant at any age. It tends be worse in older people. Melatonin is used widely to treat jet lag: Studies on the use of melatonin for the treatment of jet lag.
