Abstract
A method for alleviating the symptoms of sleep deprivation or jet lag wherein the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) or the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) or physiologically compatible salts or derivatives of NADH and/or NADPH are administered to a human being suffering from the effects. Human beings so treated exhibit an abatement of these effects, such as, for example, decreased attentiveness, decreased ability to concentrate, decreased reaction time, decreased alertness, and decreased productivity and efficiency.
