I may be here in Vancouver barely awake but my circadian rhythm has me back in Cambodia. I've simply not adjusted. Coming back from Azerbaijan a couple of months back I was a few days waking in the middle of the night. Last night I was asleep by 9, only an hour or so after my flight arrived back from Hong Kong. The trouble was I woke at 4 am and now I'm bagged. I could seriously use a nap but have an hour to go in this clinic. Two coffees and a walk are barely keeping me going. More fresh air planned .
Jet lag is a chronobiological problem , a disruption of the body's circadian rhythyms. It's all to do with the transmeridian, east - west or west- east flight schedule.
I looked up the symptons and surely they're difficulty falling asleep if flying east and difficulty with early morning wakening flying west. Well, I sure had disrupted sleep and now poor concentration but I can't say I've noticed frequency of defecation. Surely I'd notice that.
Travelling east is worse.
