Reset body clock

Sun, 06 Apr 2008 17:19:37

I like science and the thoughts it provokes. Today I read about the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York whom suggest blue lights could be used to reset our body clock. The idea is that to help reduce people falling asleep at the wheel, drivers can pull into a service station and take a 30 minute "bath" in blue lights. Another thought is fitting blue LEDs to truck cabs to prevent them falling asleep at the wheel. A bid has been put together by the institute to progress research.

This however, I believe is science going mad. Blue lights to reset the body clock? 30 minute bathing sessions to prevent accidents, and money for such research actually gets approved? Ludicrous.
