Much of the problem is due to the mismatch between our 24-hour biological clock, also called the circadian rhythm, and the times we expect to wake up and fall asleep in the new location. It can take from days to a week or more for our circadian system to readapt to the new day/night cycle. As a result, we may feel pretty lousy during the daytime. That can include feeling sleepy, having difficulty concentrating, and lacking energy. At night it can be difficult to sleep soundly. Other biological rhythms, such as appetite and elimination patterns, also can be thrown off schedule. Naturally, the farther one travels, the worse the problem is and the longer it will take your body to recover.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/FA853224-7F20-4061-A89F-FCA003AB40A9/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
