WASHINGTON- Argentine scientists announced that the male impotence drug Viagra may be useful in alleviating jet-lag.

Jet lag is caused by flying across multiple time zones and can disturb one’s sleeping pattern which can lead to insomnia, sleepiness and concentration problems.

By studying hamsters, researchers Patricia Agostino, Santiago Plano and Diego Golombek of the Universidad Nacional de Quilmes in Buenos Aires administered Viagra to hamsters at night and then switched on bright lights six hours earlier to model an eastbound flight.

However, the drug eased the subjects handle jet lag only when they took the samples before the equivalent of an eastbound flight and not the opposite when the delayed turning on the lights to imitate a westbound flight.
