POPSThe Role of Light on Human Health Rea envisions "real-time light prescriptions" to help people receive or avoid light at the appropriate times. Simple measures to control when and how much circadian light we receive could help nightshift workers stay alert on the job and sleep more effectively during the day, help cure jet lag, decrease depression, and generally help everyone get a proper night's sleep. The ability to modify circadian rhythm could potentially mitigate the negative health effects that some researchers believe are brought on by disruptions to the light-dark cycle. Recent studies have found a link between health and changes in the natural circadian rhythm. The Journal of the National Cancer Institute published a series of articles, for example, that showed night shift workers had a higher incidence of breast cancer; and, last year, the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer cited night work as a potential breast cancer risk factor.

POPSA simple way to reduce the effects of jet lag!: study
Let me know if this works for you!! More tips to help prevent jet lag: • Store up on sleep. Because sleep is effective at countering the effects of jet lag, go to bed a little earlier for a few days before you leave on your trip & sleep as much as possible on the flight. • Many side effects of jet lag are the result of dehydration. Drink plenty of water during the flight and avoid alcohol, coffee, tea & other caffeinated beverages. • Eat lightly on your flight & forego rich or exotic foods on the first several days of your trip. This will allow your body to use its energy to adjust to the new surroundings and time zone rather than on digesting food. • Exercise during a long flight to help alleviate backaches, swollen legs and feet and general fatigue. Stretching at regular intervals and walking up and down the aisles will also help to prevent dangerous blood clots from forming. • Take it easy on the day you arrive to allow your body to establish a routine in sync with the local
