The social clock being a local time is aligned with others’ lives. The biological clock (circadian time) that controls our physiology and the sun clock that defines natural light and darkness. Social jetlag refers to the misalignment between local and circadian time. This term is usually used in reference to travels to places in different time zones. Nevertheless, it is worth noticing that “jetlag” also applies to people working in a medical industry such as doctors, nurses, paramedics, and others involved in an on-call work. Thus, I would like to look closer to the physiology of social jetlag and to analyze its implications.
