Ok, in your brian their is a section that controls sleep, this part of you brian is called your cirybril (not right spelling) cortex. it also governs alot of other functions. It will know when to let you aleep due to cercadian (check spelling) rythms. When you get used to sleeping at a certain time of day your cortex is used to those rythms. When you go overseas then the rythms hav stayed the same while the time of day has changed and so it takes a while for your cortex to get used to that, therefore causing jet lag. Yours truly Marc Kruger P.S: I am 15, are you not entertained!
