The disruption of the circadian rhythm, also known as jet lag, causes sleep disorders, fatigue, obesity, loss of concentration, and headaches, among others. Similar symptoms occur in people with changes in a work shift. Researchers have found substances that can shorten or lengthen the circadian rhythm, which would help reduce jet lag symptoms.
