Circadian rhythms are responsible for regulating the sleep-wake cycle in humans. The body's internal clock can be reset by exposure to light and darkness, but it can take some time to adjust to a new time zone. In Jason's case, his body is still adjusting to the time change, leading to his difficulty in falling asleep until his usual bedtime of 3 a.m.
