Chapter 01
How Flying Disrupts Your Circadian Rhythm
The exact biological mechanisms by which time zone crossing and irregular schedules damage your internal clock.
“Your circadian rhythm is a 24-hour biological clock that regulates sleep, hormone release, metabolism, immune function, and cognitive performance. Every time you cross a time zone, you force this system to resynchronise — a process that takes roughly one day per hour of time difference. For pilots operating multiple rotations per week, the clock never fully catches up, creating a state of chronic circadian misalignment that compounds over time.”
