Around the turn of the century, scientists began to recognize that the body has multiple <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/tags\/internal+clocks\/\" rel=\"tag\" class=\"\">internal clocks<\/a>, calibrated in different ways, and that jet lag-like symptoms can result when these clocks drift out of sync with each other. This can happen in several ways and grows more prevalent with age.<\/p>\n<p>A team of scientists from Northwestern University and the Santa Fe Institute developed a theoretical model to study the interactions between multiple internal clocks under the effects of aging and disruptions like jet lag.
