Regulating Sleep-Wake Cycles: How Re-timer Helps Reduce Jet Lag Symptoms

Jet lag is a common condition, it occurs when body’s natural sleep-wake cycle is disrupted due to travel across time zones. The condition can result in symptoms such as fatigue, insomnia, and difficulty concentrating. Re-timer, a type of light therapy glasses, can help regulate sleep-wake cycles and reduce the symptoms of jet lag.

What is Jet Lag?

Jet lag also known as Jet Lag Disorder is a temporary sleep issue that can occur when a person travels across multiple time zones, which can disrupt body’s natural sleep-wake cycle known as circadian rhythm.

The condition arises because the body’s internal clock is still synced with the previous time zone, causing a mismatch between the external environment, such as the local time of day, and the internal biological clock.

Symptoms of jet lag can vary depending on the number of time zones crossed, the direction of travel. Common symptoms of jet lag include:

  • Fatigue and tiredness
  • Insomnia or difficulty sleeping at night
  • Daytime sleepiness or difficulty staying awake during the day
  • Difficulty concentrating and making decisions
  • Mood changes such as anxiety, and depression
  • Loss of appetite, constipation, or diarrhea
  • Headaches, dizziness, and nausea
  • Reduced physical performance and coordination.

The severity of these symptoms can range from mild to severe, depending on the individual and the extent of the time zone changes. The symptoms of jet lag typically resolve within a few days as the body adjusts to the new time zone and re-establishes its natural circadian rhythm.
