4. Jet Lag and Melatonin
As the world becomes more and more connected, global travel has increased considerably for the average person. Unfortunately, it has also caused more people to experience jet lag. Traveling from one time zone can confuse a person’s circadian rhythm, as he or she will be exposed to daylight at different intervals than usual.
After returning home, it can take several days for a normal sleep cycle to resume. According to several studies, people who took melatonin supplements while experiencing jet lag had an easier time falling back into normal sleep patterns.
