  • Title: Jet lag and shift work sleep disorders: how to help reset the internal clock.
    Author: Kolla BP, Auger RR.
    Journal: Cleve Clin J Med; 2011 Oct; 78(10):675-84. PubMed ID: 21968474.
    Abstract:
    Jet lag sleep disorder and shift work sleep disorder are the result of dyssynchrony between the internal clock and the external light-dark cycle, brought on by rapid travel across time zones or by working a nonstandard schedule. Symptoms can be minimized by optimizing the sleep environment, by strategic avoidance of and exposure to light, and also with drug and behavioral therapies.
