Short YouTube clip by Rich Bello explaining that jet lag results from internal circadian clocks being shifted by time zone changes, noting the rule-of-thumb that the body adjusts roughly one hour per day, recommending melatonin can help, and asserting that frequent/intense travel has been shown to have long-term side effects including reported brain shrinkage.

Jet lag. So our internal clocks are thrown off from time zone differences. You only adjust one hour per day. So if you're traveling across, you know, across the country or to another country, it's only one hour per day. God forbid you're an eight hour time zone. It takes you eight hours to get back to just those clocks. Melatonin can provide some relief. Intense traveling they've shown, unfortunately. Hopefully there aren't many pilots here. But intense traveling shows long term side effects. It actually shrinks the brain.
