Could your baseball team be losing games because of jet lag?

A recent study published by Healthy Day on Us News and World Report addresses this very issue, and the results might shock you!

The report states that a study of baseball scores of a 10 year period shows that a team is more likely to lose a game when they were severely jet lagged.  A game here and a game there may not seem like a lot, but when October rolls around, the season can often come down to just one or two games.

Dr. Christopher Winter and his team studied over 24,000 baseball scores and the number of time zones crossed.  Using the scale of one day of adjustment per time zone crossed they made these discoveries.  They found that teams lost 60% of games when they were at a 3 hour disadvantage and 52% of games when they were at a 2 hour disadvantage.

So think about that how much money could hinge on 1 or two games?  If your team goes to the playoffs that’s millions in extra revenue for your organization and city.  It might be worth looking into some jet lag prevention and I might just know a product………..
