Jet-lagged Mice

November 7, 2006

In a study that conjures up terrific mental images of mice strapped into small airplane seats (I'm sorry...is "small airplane seat" an oxymoron?), scientists have concluded that mice who live on irregular light/dark and sleep/wake schedules die younger than better rested and refreshed mice. The study concludes that the kind of sleep interruption brought on by jet lag may lead frequent flyers to die younger.

So be warned, mice of the world who are logging in seven-figure airmile accounts each year, you may not make it to see your great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandchildren graduate from college.
