Jet Lag Mitigation Technique

Meaning

Jet Lag Mitigation Technique describes a set of behavioral, environmental, and pharmacological strategies employed to rapidly and effectively resynchronize the body’s internal circadian clock with the new local time zone following rapid trans-meridian travel. The primary clinical objective is to minimize the symptoms of jet lag, which include fatigue, insomnia, and impaired cognitive function, by accelerating the adjustment of the master biological pacemaker. Successful mitigation is a direct result of precisely timed exposure to specific environmental cues and, in some cases, exogenous hormones.
