The Prediction of the adaptation of circadian rhythms to rapid time zone changes / S. Suvanto and M. Härmä

Sumario: The aim of the study was to find out which factors could explain individual differences in the resynchronization speed of circadian rhythms of salivary melatonin and subjective alertness after transmeridian flights over 10 time zones. It is concluded that the amount of daylight and personality are the best predictors of the circadian rhythm adaptation after transmeridian flights
