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.
