RE: Let’s Talk About Why We Experience JetLags

in #steemstem7 years ago

I am almost the polar opposite. I can never sleep on planes and feel pretty bad for a few days if I have to change the time I sleep/ wake up. A few years ago my rhythms were more ' flexible', I had trained my body that it needed to make it to the nightclub at 3 AM

Same here @flyyingkiwi! As for the first part of your comment.

Surprisingly not everyone experiences jetlags. There are genes that are responsible for jet lag; The Lhx1 gene. These genes are mutated in some people and they can’t experience jet lags. You just might be one of them @alexdory.

Will read about the Lhx1 gene!

Along with my three kidneys, that would explain a lot of why at the end of a clubnight I would be sober and awake :D

Because you are a mutant @alexdory! 😂😘

I was not kidding about the kidneys!
It's not something to say at parties, I know, but it's pretty common as the doctors say! 😂

Oh! I see... gosh ... and here I go, learning yet something else from you :D (that 3 kidneys can occur naturally!) 😊

I still don't fully believe it, but everytime I do an echo I shut up about it and everytime a different doctor tells me that one is either very thick or I have two.
Always cracks me up! 😊
