A NEW smart sleep mask was designed to assist with jetlag and help travelers get their body clocks in tune with new time zones.

The Neuroon mask functions via a mobile phone application that runs on light spectrum therapy, and can help users regulate their sleeping patterns.

After flight and destination details are entered, the mask syncs with the app and alerts users about when to seek light in the days before the journey.

During the flight, it artificially triggers sensors in the eyes to trick the brain into adjusting to a new time zone.

Kamil Adamczyk, the 24-year-old responsible for the mask, said, “The device understands our body clock and with light therapy it can manage the production of sleep hormone in the brain.”

The mask could be significantly helpful for frequent or business travelers whose productivity is affected by long-haul flights.
