The Easter break offers a chance of escape for many Hongkongers, but that holiday joy often comes with a hidden tax: jet lag.<\/p>\n

Jet lag is the cognitive and physical misalignment that your brain and body experience when arriving in a new time zone. Known more formally as desynchronosis, it is more than a lack of sleep \u2013 it is a state of biological confusion.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles Times journalist Horace Sutton may have been the first person to use the term \u201cjet lag\u201d, in a piece he wrote in 1966.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re going to be a member of the jet set and fly off to Kathmandu \u2026 you can count on contracting jet lag, debility not unakin to a hangover,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

Jet lag is not just a minor inconvenience. Severe circadian disruption has been shown in animal studies to increase susceptibility to cancer and brain tumours<\/span>, type 2 diabetes<\/span>, obesity, and metabolic syndrome.<\/div>\n
\u201cJet lag disrupts every system in your body, cognitive functions, your metabolism, your reaction time, your immune system<\/span>, your hormones,\u201d says tech entrepreneur Mickey Beyer-Clausen, who co-founded the company behind the Timeshifter app designed to help people reduce their jet lag.<\/div>\n
