New time-zones can be hard to cope with

Are you traveling any time soon? Come to us for your jet lag treatment

When there is a temporary mismatch between your sleep-wake cycle timing generated by your internal clock and the sleep-wake pattern induced by the time-zone, this is called Jet Lag disorder. Jet lag is typically more severe when traveling eastward because our biological clock adjusts to longer days better than shorter ones.
