Question
A person traveled to Asia and is having trouble with jet lag. What would be the best way to get used to their new schedule and why?
A. |
This person likely has a problem with their thyroxine levels, and is therefore very tired.
|
|
B. |
It’s likely that they have insufficient glucagon production, and that is why they’re so tired. Therefore, they need to eat some bread or rice.
|
|
C. |
They should expose themselves to daylight as long as the sun is out to force their pineal gland to re-set its timing. This way, they’ll produce melatonin at the right time, and they’ll soon fall asleep when everyone else does in that Asian city.
|
|
D. |
Both A and B are correct. |
