A new pill from the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry may yet address the jet lag problems that travelers and some shift workers have to deal with. The new pill aims to reset the internal circadian system which was initially used through observing mice.

The researchers noticed that modulating the speed with which the adrenal gland shifts its rhythmic production of glucocorticoid hormones to the new light/dark cycle regulates the resetting of the entire internal body clock.

Nuvigil has been declined for approval by the U.S. Health regulators after some questionable data in making the said Cephalon sleep disorder drug.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Agency in U.S, Jet Lag is a condition marked by a disrupted sleep cycle, headaches, or an upset stomach. Initially, The FDA had given an expedited six month evaluation for jet lag as part of a priority review program for novel medicines.

Jet lag has long been a problem particularly for people who frequently travel. Changes in the time zone are often the problem and having to adjust sleep, sometimes extending just to adjust to the actual time schedule of the region you may be is a problem.

Now reverting back to the regular sleeping schedule may become an issue. In fact, it can be health risk as the need to address how your body can take such is in question. With that in mind, studies have found a solution to ease the problems brought about by jet lag and it comes in the form of pine extracts called Pyncnogenol.

While Pyncnogenol has been known to reduce problems like swelling of the brain and blot clotting they have been found as related to jet lag issues.

As far as jet lag is concerned, a lot of people who frequently travel may already know how to deal with it. One is trying to extend sleep to the normal day hours of the region where they may find themselves and the other is taking on the usual caffeine and normal naps to cure this occasional problem.

Just recently, a new way to help cure jet lag was introduced and it goes by the name of sildenafil or commonly known as Viagra to most. Yes we all know that Viagra is often related towards sexual pleasure so it is really out of curiosity on how it can cure jet lag for most.

The study, published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, showed that our circadian rhythms, the body’s inner clock, could be shifted with the little blue pill. Sounds as if we will have that jet lag problem solved in no time, right? Or, at least, travelers will have a new excuse to ask their doctors for Viagra.
