symptoms (3) as fatigue, insomnia,
headaches and nausea, more commonly known
as jet lag. It occurs more often after flights of
four hours (4) more and,
surprisingly, it is more common (5)
travelling eastwards. One patient of mine

as him. This is because the speed at which the
body readjusts itself to new daylight hours

of fluids on planes and he can never sleep. I
