Briefly discuss the methods available to assist people in realigning their circadian rhythms
What will be an ideal response?
One method for circadian rhythm realignment has been the use of a small dose of melatonin. Research shows that melatonin can be helpful in the treatment of jet lag, but timing is very important and hard to get right.
A second method is to help rotating shift workers reduce the severity of their circadian disruption by having them move through progressively later start times. It is also helpful to have longer periods between shift changes.
