Good Luck.
Everybody who flies long [distancing / distances] hates jet lag. Traveling across different time zones upsets your body [watch / clock] . People can have jet lag for three or four days after [get / getting] off the airplane. You can be wide awake at 3.00am and ready [to / for] bed after lunch. That might soon be [over / overt] . Researchers from Kyoto University in Japan are close to [making / make] a drug for jet lag. They said the drug can help people change to a [new / newly] time zone in just 24 hours. Head researcher Yoshiaki Yamaguchi said his team has found the [bodies / body's] "reset button" in the brain. This controls how the body [adjusts / adjustments] to changing sleep patterns. New drugs could "press" the reset button to make jet lag [less / fewer] troublesome.

The jet-lag drug could also have other health [beneficial / benefits] . People who work different [shifts / shafts] and night workers could take the drug. This means these workers will not be [so / such] stressed from working at irregular or [unsociable / sociable] hours. Airline pilots and cabin crew could be [between / among] those who most benefit from the new drug. The drug might also be [useless / useful] for people with insomnia (the inability to sleep). Wikipedia says jet lag usually happens [after / when] a change of three time zones or more. Some people get it after just a [single / one] time zone difference. It usually takes one day to [cover / recover] from crossing one time zone. Jet lag is only a few decades old. It happened after people started [flying / flew] in jet airplanes.
