This project aims to develop and test strategies to mitigate jetlag, founded on biophysical modelling of circadian rhythms. It sets out to quantify the speed of circadian adaptation of sleep, alertness, and metabolism after transmeridian travel and to maximise speed of adaptation via optimised timing of light exposure, food, and exercise in-flight and on-the-ground. Expected outcomes include powerful models for jetlag strategies, ready for application in air travel. The project will directly inform Qantas’ operations for ultra-long haul flights and their international network more broadly. Project outcomes will benefit society and the economy through improving travellers’ alertness, sleep, and reducing the risk of fatigue-related accidents.

该项目旨在开发和测试缓解时差反应的策略，该策略基于昼夜节律的生物物理模型。它旨在量化跨子午线旅行后睡眠，警觉性和新陈代谢的昼夜适应速度，并通过优化飞行中和地面上的光照，食物和运动的时间来最大限度地提高适应速度。预期的成果包括强大的模型时差战略，准备在航空旅行中的应用。该项目将直接为澳航的超长距离航班运营及其更广泛的国际网络提供信息。项目成果将通过改善旅行者的警觉性、睡眠和降低疲劳相关事故的风险，造福社会和经济。
