Chez l'homme, de nombreux rythmes biologiques ont une évolution circadienne (proche de 24 h). C'est le cas du rythme veille-sommeil, de la température interne, de la sécrétion de certaines hormones. Lorsqu'on décale un individu d'au moins 5 heures, les rythmes circadiens ne se réadaptent pas au nouvel horaire à la même vitesse : - le rythme veille-sommeil est en général le plus rapide et met deux à trois jours à s'adapter; - le rythme de la température est plus lent et met 8 jours à s'adapter; - les rythmes hormonaux peuvent parfois mettre 3 semaines avant de s'adapter. Il en résulte une désynchronisation interne (ou dyschronisme) entre les rythmes circadiens ce qui est sans doute responsable de l'état de malaise ressenti par les individus soumis à un décalage. 2, record 7, French, - dyschronisme
