COVID-19 Update
The Covid-19 Outbreak continues to evolve and for many reasons many of us are unable to leave home. Prime Medic is trying to assist however possible to get you in front of a doctor when you need it. We are also bringing on more doctors to get to you faster. We are now also accepting Bulk Billing via medicare.

Jet Lag

Jet Lag

Our bodies are biochemically coordinated with the daily rhythms of the sun. This coordination system is called the “circadian clock”. Jet travel, either East or West, (but not North or South) can quickly place us into a new time zone that confuses our circadian clock, and make it difficult to sleep at night, despite our exhaustion from travel, and make us tired during the daytime. The effect can last for days, until our circadian clocks are reset to the new time zone. Medication can accelerate the rate at which we adjust.
