Weary travelers of the globe, fret no more! The Jet Lag Rooster will fix your troubles. The curiously named website-- introduced Jan. 1 by Jay Olson, who works in the psychology department at Simon Frasier University in British Columbia, Canada-- aims to make the tourist 's problem a thing of the past. 'Scientists have actually discovered that light exposure at certain times could begin shifting your body clock. ' - Jay Olson, creator of the Jet Lag Rooster
"A rooster tells you when to wake up. Jet Lag Rooster tells you when to wake up to reduce jet lag," Olson informed FoxNews.com. Experts long back fixed the riddle of jet lag, he discussed, tying the phenomenon that leaves us groggy and sluggish to the circadian rhythms that make our body clock tick.

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
