00 Can I just confirm a few points: 02 br
00 "Also changes in work schedules can cause jet lag" - this is independent, but requires a period after 'lag' and a comma after 'also'? 02 br
00 "Then the traveler should start to live the new time frame immediately" - this is dependent, with 'then' as the subordinator 02 br
