/24-7PressRelease/ - GAINESVILLE, FL, September 08, 2008 — Bill Ragan, M.S. announced today that Lag: A Look at Circadian Desynchronization (ISBN-10:1435702212 / ISBN-13: 9781435702219) now has an official Myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/shiftlag.
Lag: A Look at Circadian Desynchronization, by Bill Ragan, M.S. is an investigation into the history, symptoms, and treatments for jet lag, shift lag, and circadian desynchronization. These conditions, the author said, result from travel over several time zones at high speeds, as occurs during air line flight. The performance effects of this type of travel are well documented in the book, which included practical examples ranging from board room meetings to professional sports tournaments.
The following is a quote from Lag: A Look at Circadian Desynchronization:
" Drust et al. (2005) said that experts in the field of
chronobiology have determined that certain sports
activities were performed better at certain times of the
day than others, and that disruption of regular circadian
rhythms had a negative effect on performance.."
