- Disruption to Biological Rhythms
- Jetlag
- Caused by travelling across time zones so quickly that biological rhythms do not match external cues, causing sleepiness in the day and restlessness at night.
- West- East= Phase Advance
- East- West= Phase Delay (easier for body to cope with)
- Shiftwork
- Can involve working at times when normally asleep and therefore being asleep at times normally awake. Causes breakdowns in the usual coordination between internal biological clocks and external cues.
- Can affect- alertness, sleep deprivation, health, mistakes
- DESYNCHRONISATION
- Jetlag
