Can LED Lights on Planes Help Combat Jet Lag?

Question

Has anyone heard about LED lights on planes being used to combat jet lag?

Answer 1

Yes, some modern planes like the Airbus A350 have customizable LED lighting systems that can simulate different types of natural light. With up to 16.7 million different colors, these lights can mimic the lighting conditions of the destination's time zone, which can help passengers' internal clocks adapt more easily and reduce the effects of jet lag.

The Circadian Rhythm is not a Psychological Condition, it is a Biological Condition, as is the Jet Lag which affects it.

(1) Scuba tanks do not contain pure oxygen. (2) Jet Lag is physiological, not psychological.

I got to experience the Airbus' lighting trick on my trip in 2022 to Dublin, Ireland. The lighting changes were so subtle they didn't stand out. But I most definitely did not get jet lag at all..I arrived in Dublin refreshed after only a very short nap on the aircraft. (I departed from Los Angeles at around 9pm. Pacific time.)

I wouldn't describe jet-lag as a psychological condition.
