Understanding Social Jet Lag: Causes, Effects, and Holiday Season Impact

Analysed 30 Dec 2025·1 source analysed·Hyderabad, India·Lifestyle
Understanding Social Jet Lag: Causes, Effects, and Holiday Season ImpactPreviousNext

Social jet lag, a phenomenon where disruptions to the body's natural 24-hour circadian rhythm are caused by social activities, can be exacerbated during the holiday season. This occurs when individuals deviate from their regular sleep schedules due to celebrations, late nights, and altered routines. Experts warn that this can lead to fatigue and, over the long term, may be linked to increased health risks such as obesity and cardiovascular issues. The concept was introduced by sleep researcher Till Roenneberg in 2006.
