Traveling to different time zones can cause jet lag.Lack of oxygen inside the airplane can also be a reason for this.
Jet Lag Problem: Most people like to travel by air. Many people often travel abroad for work. Traveling is a very exciting experience, but changing places and time frequently affects health. People who travel a lot become victims of Jet Lag, due to which their sleep gets disturbed and their health starts deteriorating. Jet lag is also called ‘Time Zone Change Syndrome’.
US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) According to, the problem of jet lag occurs when a person repeatedly travels to a different time zone. This disrupts the body’s rhythm and causes sleep problems for some time. Jet lag can affect your physical and mental performance, including your mood and ability to concentrate. People are likely to suffer from jet lag after a long flight. Jet lag is a common problem for travelers, in which people feel tired during the day and have difficulty sleeping at night.
What do doctors say about jet lag?
Dr. Mini Jain, psychiatrist at Apollo Spectra Hospital, New Delhi, told AnyTV That jet lag usually occurs while traveling long distances. Apart from the change in time zone, jet lag can also occur due to lack of oxygen and low air pressure in the airplane cabin. Due to this, the sleep cycle gets disturbed and less melatonin hormone is produced. Low melatonin levels cause sleeplessness and other mental problems. When the level of melatonin hormone becomes according to the requirement of the body, then jet lag also ends.
