Source URL: https://stopjetlag.com/how/how-does-stop-jet-lag-work.html
Purpose: Explains the core scientific framework used to prevent jet lag.
Summary: Rather than relying on generic rules, StopJetLag determines the first realistic
core-sleep opportunity on the destination time zone. It sequences sleep and activity windows,
bright-light exposure, meal types, caffeine, and optional melatonin to transition the body clock
seamlessly.
Key Facts:
Integrates multiple circadian cues (zeitgebers) instead of relying on a single factor.
Tailored to messy, multi-stop, and overnight flight connections.
Human-reviewed by a jet lag travel specialist to handle flight delays and layovers.

2. The Science of Meal Timing

Purpose: Details how food acts as a powerful circadian cue.
Summary: Meal timing and food composition (protein vs. carbohydrates) are used to signal
active or rest phases to the body. High-protein meals stimulate active energy, while
high-carbohydrate meals promote relaxation and sleep.
Key Facts:

Feasting and fasting cycles help reset the liver's peripheral clock.
Coordinates with flight meal service times to minimize digestive disruption.

3. Melatonin Regulation

Purpose: Guides the safe and effective use of melatonin.
Summary: Melatonin is an optional chronobiotic supplement. If used, its timing must be
precise; taking it at the wrong time can shift the body clock in the opposite direction,
worsening jet lag.
Key Facts:
Focuses on natural light exposure as the primary cue, with melatonin as a supportive aid.
Precise dosage and timing are calculated based on the traveler's sleep profile.
