Can you cure jet lag?SCIENCE IS EVERYWHERE...

Jet lag occurs when our internal body clock tells us it is 3 a.m. and our external environment tells us it is noon. It's a disconnect between what's going on inside and outside our bodies. The sensation is familiar to those who have traveled abroad, particularly to a location with a significantly different time zone; however, it is possible for it to occur even before stepping off a plane. For instance, shift workers are particularly susceptible to social jet lag. A body clock that is out of sync can make us feel terrible, so is there a possible treatment for the condition? Prof. Aarti Jagannath, a neuroscientist from the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, talks to us about her research into potential drug treatments for jet lag.
