MOSCOW, August 26, 2021
For people who are constantly struggling with sleep disorder and jetlag, there is happy news.
A Russian company will, from next year, start producing eyeglasses that will help cure insomnia and jetlag.
Depending on the material used, the glasses will be priced between 7 to 30,000 Russian rubles ($0.095 to $406.80).
Wearing the glasses half an hour per day in indicated time intervals will help completely restore the sleep cycle, Emirates news agency WAM reported.
Technodinamika Holding, under the Rostec State Corporation, has presented the prototype of "anti-insomnia Blue Sky pro glasses" at the Army 2021, an international military exhibition being held in Moscow.
Rostec Executive Director Oleg Yevtushenko said: "The glasses enable one to control sleep disturbance and restore human biorhythms in a couple of days. Glasses will definitely be of interest to individuals suffering from insomnia or those regularly challenged by jet lag because of business trips.
"At the same time, they can also benefit servicemen, including pilots, helping them to recover more rapidly (from sleep disorder and jetlag)."
A press release issued by Rostec explained that the product helps get rid of drowsiness in the morning and to postpone sleep until approximately 23.00 hours in the evening.
Glasses can also be used in case of changing time zones for more than three hours and for night shift. They will also help the user tackle depression, neuroendocrinal diseases and impaired concentration.
The efficacy of the invention has been proved in the course of neurophysiological studies, the release said.
The prototype of Blue Sky is made of eco-friendly high-strength composite material produced in Russia. The product contains a kit of changeable nose pads and the user can select the most convenient one.
Furthermore, glasses are fitted with a type-c format universal connector for charging.
