Melatonin Jet Lag Sleep Meta-AnalysisCharacterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment [], burnout not only undermines the wellbeing of healthcare staff but also threatens patient safety and the efficiency of healthcare systems [].1Ungurianu Alexandru (2025)Melatonin and Cortisol Suppression and Circadian Rhythm Disruption in Burnout Among Healthcare Professionals: A Systematic Review
Melatonin Jet Lag Sleep Meta-AnalysisReduced melatonin secretion has been observed in night-shift workers and individuals exposed to chronic stress, contributing to sleep disturbance, mood dysregulation, and metabolic dysfunction [].1Ungurianu Alexandru (2025)Melatonin and Cortisol Suppression and Circadian Rhythm Disruption in Burnout Among Healthcare Professionals: A Systematic Review
Melatonin Jet Lag Sleep Meta-AnalysisShift work, identified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a probable carcinogen due to its circadian disruptive effects [], has been strongly associated with burnout, sleep disturbances, and impaired well-being in healthcare professionals [].1Ungurianu Alexandru (2025)Melatonin and Cortisol Suppression and Circadian Rhythm Disruption in Burnout Among Healthcare Professionals: A Systematic Review
Melatonin Jet Lag Sleep Meta-Analysis1 2 3 Burnout has become one of the most pressing occupational health issues affecting healthcare professionals worldwide.1Ungurianu Alexandru (2025)Melatonin and Cortisol Suppression and Circadian Rhythm Disruption in Burnout Among Healthcare Professionals: A Systematic Review
Melatonin Jet Lag Sleep Meta-AnalysisAlthough empirical studies show variable effects on competition outcomes, likely due to individual and situational differences, the consensus is that significant travel without proper adjustment is a risk factor for performance decrement [].3Hatamiya Nicolas (2026)Optimizing Athlete Travel for Performance: A Scientific Blueprint for Athletes, Coaches, and Sports Medicine Staff
Melatonin Jet Lag Sleep Meta-AnalysisIn addition to timezone shifts, the general fatigue of long-haul travel may itself hinder recovery by disturbing sleep patterns even without circadian misalignment, though direct evidence for this independent effect remains limited.3Hatamiya Nicolas (2026)Optimizing Athlete Travel for Performance: A Scientific Blueprint for Athletes, Coaches, and Sports Medicine Staff
Melatonin Jet Lag Sleep Meta-AnalysisIndeed, a landmark study of elite athletes found that traveling to international destinations with > 5 h time differences was associated with a two- to threefold higher risk of illness, such as upper respiratory infections, in the week following travel [].3Hatamiya Nicolas (2026)Optimizing Athlete Travel for Performance: A Scientific Blueprint for Athletes, Coaches, and Sports Medicine Staff
Melatonin Jet Lag Sleep Meta-AnalysisAs athlete travel becomes more prevalent, particularly long-haul travel crossing multiple timezones, the impacts of travel on athlete performance should be considered as they pertain to jet lag, travel-related fatigue, fueling, gastrointestinal disturbances, environmental conditions, illness, and soft-tissue injury.3Hatamiya Nicolas (2026)Optimizing Athlete Travel for Performance: A Scientific Blueprint for Athletes, Coaches, and Sports Medicine Staff
Melatonin Jet Lag Sleep Meta-AnalysisThis includes the activation of adenylate cyclase, increased cAMP levels, and subsequent activation of protein kinase A (PKA).3Wani Pinaki D. (2026)Melatonin and sleep: Exploring its role in regulating the circadian rhythm and sleep-wake cycle
Melatonin Jet Lag Sleep Meta-AnalysisChronic or inappropriate light exposure, such as during night shifts or jet lag, can disrupt this regulation, leading to altered melatonin rhythms and associated sleep disturbances.[] 14 The role of light in regulating melatonin has clinical implications, as appropriately timed light exposure or avoidance can help manage circadian rhythm disorders.3Wani Pinaki D.
