In a bid to provide hassle free travel, Finnair said it will start a unique pilot project to test a revolutionary headset technology which helps in fighting jet lag. According to the carrier, the headset works by emanating a bright light into the brain via the ear canal, thereby stimulating passengers and helping them to better adapt to jet lag.
Jet Lag is mainly caused due to the brain’s inability to adjust to the change in time zone while travelling on long distance flights. This is a physiological condition suffered by long distance flight passengers. Major symptoms of jet lag includes headaches, fatigue coupled with irregular sleep patterns. The pilot service will be offered in business class between Helsinki and Shanghai during April 2012.
