Dr Chris Idzikowski in Edinburgh, Scotland
is suggesting that wearing sunglasses, while traveling, will reduce Jet
Lag. I am especially interested in this research, because I’m traveling
to Ireland
around the end of May, which is about nine hours long, depending on how many
stops there are during the trip. Go check out the article. The
Edinburgh Sleep Centre for British Airways surveyed 1,000 passengers during
this study.
Dr Chris Idzikowski, director of The Edinburgh Sleep
Centre, said that without using sunglasses it took a day to recover for
every hour of time difference travelled westwards.He said: "The biological clock is 20,000 nerve cells in
the brain, it is a physical thing and not made up like many people
think.
"When passengers are travelling west it’s like a long
day for the biological clock but when flying east, the clock tries to
go into reverse which is obviously harder."
Dr Idzikowski has drawn up a jet lag checker for
passengers, which tailors the amount of time and when passengers are to
wear sunglasses.
