Discovery Of ‘Reset’ Button For Body Clocks Could Help Us Deal With Jet Lag

Canadian researchers are reporting the discovery of a “reset” switch for our body clocks that operates at the molecular level, a finding that could lead to treatments for conditions linked to disruptions of our circadian rhythm.

The discovery could yield a better understanding of a number of disorders linked to such disruptions, from sleep disturbances to behavioral or metabolic problems common with jet lag or shift work, they say.
