Jet lag is the<\/p>\n<p>physiological side effect of rapidly crossing several time zones, resulting<\/p>\n<p>in disruption of the bodys circadian rhythms.<\/p>\n<p><P>Almost a century later, with the dawn of modern air travel and shiftworkers<\/p>\n<p>to support 24-hour operations, researchers are studying ways to prevent<\/p>\n<p>and treat jet lag and the fatigue associated with shiftwork.<\/p>\n<p><P>Circadian rhythms regulate sleep and wake cycles, and if the cycles<\/p>\n<p>are disrupted, results include fatigue, decreased alertness, napping and<\/p>\n<p>excessive daytime sleepiness, as well as nighttime insomnia. Not only are<\/p>\n<p>pilots affected by these potentially dangerous conditions, but also people<\/p>\n<p>working rotating shifts.<\/p>\n<p><P>Lynne Farr, Ph.D., professor of the University of Nebraska Medical Center<\/p>\n<p>College of Nursing in Omaha, has studied circadian rhythms for more than<\/p>\n<p>20 years and has received a number of major grants from the National Aeronautical<\/p>\n<p>and Space Administration, the National Institutes of Health and private<\/p>\n<p>companies. She currently is co-principal investigator on a one-year, $42,420<\/p>\n<p>NASA grant renewal funded by the Nebraska Experimental Program to Stimulate<\/p>\n<p>Competitve Research through the University of Nebraska at Omaha Aviation<\/p>\n<p>Institute.<\/p>\n<p><P>She and her colleagues are looking for 40 pilots and air traffic controllers<\/p>\n<p>to participate in the study. Participants will spend two short visits at<\/p>\n<p>their home, work, or on campus with UNMC College of Nursing faculty. Participants<\/p>\n<p>will log their activities, as well as wear small monitors for five days<\/p>\n<p>that record activity and temperature. A $100 stipend will be paid.<\/p>\n<p><P>&nbsp;Dr. Farrs colleagues are co-principal investigator, E.T. Foster,<\/p>\n<p>Ph.D., an engineer at UNO and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and UNMC<\/p>\n<p>graduate nursing students, Claudia Chaperon and Rose Bakewell.<\/p>\n<p><P>Being well-rested is important to health and well-being, Dr. Farr<\/p>\n<p>said. A lack of sleep causes fatigue, lethargy, insomnia, memory loss,<\/p>\n<p>decrease in judgment and paranoia. Sleep deprivation can be dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>Errors can occur and affect decreased reaction times and critical decision-making.<\/p>\n<p><P>The Department of Transportation&#8217;s Office of Airline Information reports<\/p>\n<p>in 1998, more than 546 million passengers traveled by air in the United<\/p>\n<p>States on almost 8 million airline flights.<\/p>\n<p><P>Dr. Farr said research can improve aviation safety and may also have<\/p>\n<p>an economic impact in developing products that can alleviate jet lag.<\/p>\n<p><P>We hope to be able to get a better picture of what kind of disruption<\/p>\n<p>pilots and air traffic controllers are experiencing and develop ways to<\/p>\n<p>reduce fatigue and jet lag by improving sleep at layover points, Dr. Farr<\/p>\n<p>said. It will also help with shiftworkers such as air traffic controllers.<\/p>\n<p><P>In order to reduce the effects of jet lag and shiftwork, interventions<\/p>\n<p>to stabilize rhythms and reduce fatigue need to be developed, she said.<\/p>\n<p><P>One of the challenges in studying circadian rhythms is body temperature<\/p>\n<p>can fluctuate based on activity such as exercise or inactivity such as<\/p>\n<p>sleep, and therefore, alter readings of true circadian rhythms.<\/p>\n<p><P>&#8220;Studying someone with a stable lifestyle who works straight shifts<\/p>\n<p>can give a good picture of the internal body clock but the real world doesnt<\/p>\n<p>work this way. Thats why those of us in research are trying to find ways<\/p>\n<p>to adjust the internal rhythms so people can adapt better in spite of the<\/p>\n<p>things we have to do in our lives,&#8221; Dr. Farr said.<\/p>\n<p><P>Dr. Farr said the research team will use mathematical applications to<\/p>\n<p>try to isolate temperature measurement from other variables to get a better<\/p>\n<p>picture of what the internal body clock is doing.<\/p>\n<p><P>We have a method we think will give better results. Its like listening<\/p>\n<p>to a radio broadcast with a lot of static and trying to find a way of getting<\/p>\n<p>rid of the static so you can hear the broadcast better.<\/p>\n<p><P>There are three things that affect the circadian sleep\/wake rhythm:<\/p>\n<p>body temperature; somnistatthe bodys need to sleep, which increases during<\/p>\n<p>the day; and melatonina chemical produced in the brain which is thought<\/p>\n<p>to regulate the sleep\/wake cycle. To get good rest, the three must work<\/p>\n<p>in harmony with each other.<\/p>\n<p><P>&#8220;If the somnistat gets too high, you will eventually sleep, no matter<\/p>\n<p>what the other cycles are doing. It may be an inappropriate time to sleep.<\/p>\n<p>This is especially dangerous,&#8221; Dr. Farr said.<\/p>\n<p><P>She said another complication in sleep deprivation is people look for<\/p>\n<p>other ways to stay awake, such as drinking caffeinated beverages and sleeping<\/p>\n<p>pills. Caffeine at certain times will speed up rhythms. It encourages<\/p>\n<p>the clock to go the other way. It can keep you more alert while you are<\/p>\n<p>drinking it, but it can be detrimental later.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><P>For more information about participating in the study, contact Dr. Farr<\/p>\n<p>in Omaha at (402) 559-6634<\/p>\n<p><BR>or 559-6678.<\/p>\n<p><P>UNMC is the only public academic health science center in the state.<\/p>\n<p>Through its commitment to research, education and patient care, UNMC has<\/p>\n<p>established itself as one of the country&#8217;s leading centers for cancer research<\/p>\n<p>and treatment and solid organ transplantation.
