Jet lag (or "jetlag"), also jet syndrome, is a physical condition caused by crossing time zones during flight. The condition is generally believed to be the result of disruption to the circadian rhythms (i.e. the "light/dark" cycle) of the body. It can also be exacerbated by experiencing sudden changes in climate or seasonal conditions, as well as the reduced oxygen, partial pressure, excess noise and low humidity commonly experienced in the cabin of an aircraft.
fatigue and sleep disturbance resulting from disruption of the body's normal circadian rhythm as a result of jet travel
Condition resulting when travel across time zones leaves a person feeling “out of sync” with local time at his or her destination.
a condition that occurs following air travel through multiple time zones (usually 3 of more zones) and is characterized by various psychological and physiological effects, such as fatigue, gastrointestinal disturbances, and irritability, caused by a disruption in circadian rhythms.
As the cutting head moves across the material that it is cutting, the spot where the jet exits the material will lag behind the spot where it entered the material. This lag is "jet lag".
describes a combination of symptoms induced by a major rapid shift in environmental time during travel to a new time zone. Called "jet" lag because of the often noticed after airplane flights. Fatigue, irritability, dehydration, and a broken sleep pattern are common symptoms of jet lag.
A brief condition characterized by effects such as fatigue and irritability, experienced when a change of time zones causes a person's biological rhythm to be out of phase with the new local time.
Condition caused by traveling over several time zones in a short period of time.
A temporary disorder that causes fatigue, insomnia, and other symptoms as a result of rapid air travel across time zones. See the entire definition of Jet lag
Jet lag is a common circadian rhythm disturbance that occurs when a person travels quickly across several time zones. It is likely to occur with international travel and its symptoms may last up to a week or longer while the body adjusts to the new sleep / wake schedule. Symptoms include insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, indigestion, irritability and poor concentration.
Jet lag, also jetlag or jet-lag, is a physiological condition which is a consequence of alterations to the circadian rhythm. Such alterations result from shift work, daylight saving time, altered day length, or as the name implies, transmeridian travel as on a jet plane. They are known as desynchronosis, dysrhythmia, dyschrony, jet lag, or jet syndrome.
