For overseas travelers, jet lag is a big deal, whether you’re a businessman who needs to be sharp for his presentation the next day or a traveler who does not want to lose time being sleepy and not enjoying the well deserved vacation. If you’re planning a big trip and are worried about the possibility of jet lag you may want to talk to your doctor about melatonin. It is a hormone synthesized normally in one’s body that helps the body adjust to a certain circadian rhythm, or sleep-wake cycle. Although it doesn’t help everyone, melatonin may be the difference for you between being energized versus tired all the time on your next big trip.
