Jet lag medically referred to as desynchronosis is a physiological condition which results from alterations to the body’s circadian rhythms resulting from rapid long-distance transmeridian (east–west or west–east) travel on high-speed aircraft. It was previously classified as one of the circadian rhythm sleep disorders.The condition of jet lag may last several days until one is fully adjusted to the new time zone and a recovery rate of one day per time zone crossed is a suggested guideline.
