Shift lag-LOW COST

Most of the fatigue research has been on long haul not so much on short haul.

I feel there is a fatique associated with many sectors doing 4 sectors a day

I call it multi-sector fatigue, as said your fifth morning getting up at 4am having your ciracadian rythms disprupted adds up.

I spend a good part of my first day off resting


Changing from working nights and flying


Disrupting your bodies circadian rythms and SCN causes your body damage, even disgestive problems
