1. The offset of one' s waking-sleeping s
Chedule with respe
Ct to the standard 24-hour
Cy
Cle a useful
Con
Cept among people who often work at night and/or a
CCording to no fixed s
Chedule. It is not un
Common to
Change one' s phase by as mu
Ch as 6 hours per day on a regular basis. "What' s your phase?" "I' ve been getting in about 8 P.M. lately, but I' m going to
wrap around to the day s
Chedule by Friday." A person who is roughly 12 hours out of phase is sometimes said to be in "night mode". (The term "day mode" is also (but less frequently) used, meaning you' re working 9 to 5 (or, more likely, 10 to 6).) The a
Ct of altering one' s
Cy
Cle is
Called "
Changing phase" "phase shifting" has also been re
Cently reported from
Calte
Ch. 2. "
Change phase the hard way": To stay awake for a very long time in order to get into a different phase. 3. "
Change phase the easy way": To stay asleep, et
C. However, some
Claim that either staying awake longer or sleeping longer is easy, and that it is *shortening* your day or night that is really hard (see
wrap around). The "jet lag" that affli
Cts travelers who
Cross many time-zone boundaries may be attributed to two distin
Ct
Causes: the strain of travel per se, and the strain of
Changing phase. Ha
Ckers who suddenly find that they must
Change phase drasti
Cally in a short period of time, parti
Cularly the hard way, experien
Ce something very like jet lag without travelling.
