How to adapt to the time difference on the plane: some people think that the use of "atmosphere lighting"

On September 1st, according to Forbes, the blue light emitted by mobile phones and other electronic devices would keep people awake and unable to fall asleep. The new iPhone has the ability to allow the screen to change from blue to red as the sun rises and falls.

Sometimes Blu ray can help us overcome jet lag. This is because people's eyes have a chemical called melanopsin, this light pigment protein with specific wavelength of light such as blue reaction, and tell the brain to stop melatonin (sleep promoting hormone). Melanopsin to visible, such as the morning sun light from particularly sensitive.

This melanopsin retinal ganglion cells in specialized photoreceptor (ipRGC), and the more familiar rods and cones, rods and cones can be detected and the formation of visual light. When the cells are stimulated by light, they send signals to the brain's circadian clock, which is responsible for regulating the circadian rhythm.

When people travel to the new time zone after the morning went out of the door, the sunshine will activate the pigment melanopsin, tell the suprachiasmatic nucleus to the body to stop melatonin commands, help people wake up. But what if people can't go outside, for example, when they're on a plane?. Virgin Atlantic's Boeing 787 Dreamliner has found a solution: ambient lighting. The background lights on the aircraft can change the color to help you adapt to the time difference.

When you boarded the plane to meet you is a soft white light, then your mood will be controlled at least your melanopsin is controlled. When you leave for New York, it's morning when you get on the plane in London, and New York is still in the evening. As a result, a plane light becomes a warm rose, reminiscent of the sunset, candlelight and bonfire. This light has little blue light, so the body will create melanin, allowing passengers to sleep.

Blu ray can also be used to relieve symptoms of seasonal affective disorder and help shift workers adapt to changing working hours. In this increasingly busy, to adapt to a different time zone, 24 hours service society, perhaps the light can play a key role in improving the quality of sleep, help people wake up when awake, relaxed mood, ready to embrace the world, no matter how to play tricks on their bodies in time.
