In this review the phenomenon of jet‐lag is described and the causal mechanisms are considered. The theoretical basis for a variety of pharmacological and non‐pharmacological treatments designed to alleviate the symptoms of jet‐lag is discussed, and the evidence of clinical efficacy is outlined. The wider implications of jet‐lag as a possible model of circadian abnormalities underlying mental disorders is briefly considered.
