• Description:
  Several reviews on jet lag written by the authors and others have recently been published. The focus of this article is on describing in detail how melatonin, bright light, and sleep schedules can be used in conjunction with currently available flight times to reduce or eliminate jet lag. Our aim is to educate circadian rhythm researchers and sleep clinicians about the principles involved so that they can make similar jet travel schedules customized for individuals traveling in any direction across multiple time zones.
