It's about time (2)...

We're still in Brookings time zone, so-called jet-lag! We hope to recover soon, seem 'Raya' is around the corner...

"Jetlag is actually caused by disruption of your 'body clock', a small cluster of brain cells that controls the timing of biological functions (circadian rhythms), including when you eat and sleep. The body clock is designed for a regular rhythm of daylight and darkness, so it's thrown out of sync when it experiences daylight and darkness at the 'wrong' times in a new time zone. The symptoms of jetlag often persist for days as the internal body clock slowly adjusts to the new time zone~ source"

I googling and found this article about the jet-lag and you can read more here!

Lessen jet-lag after you have arrived the destination by:

  • Getting into the appropriate routine at the new time zone as soon as possible such as eating and sleeping at the appropriate time in the destination and not that at the departure site.
  • Spending time outdoors as natural light helps in the body clock’s adjustment.
  • Continue exercising at the destination but avoid exercising in late evening as it can keep one awake.
