JPH10248937A - Glasses for light treatment for somnipathy and arousal disorder - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve portability with no limit to treating locations free from bothering other persons by mounting a small bar-shaped chemical light for emitting light utilizing a chemical reaction inside a lens part formed using light shielding material to eliminate the need for a power source and a wire. SOLUTION: A small bar-shaped chemical light 2 is mounted inside 1 a lens part formed using light shielding material. The chemical light 2 emits light by a chemical reaction. Immediately before the use of the glasses for light treatment of somnipathy and arousal disorder, the chemical light 2 is started to emit light to be mounted inside 1 the lens part. This eliminates the need for a power source, a wire or the like and there is no diffusion of light during the use, hence by no means bothering other persons. This device is usable anywhere at any time, convenient to carry and causes no heating, no fear of burn.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to sleep / wake disorder phototherapy glasses in which a luminous body is attached to a spectacle lens.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When traveling from east to west over a time zone of 4 to 5 hours or more by a jet aircraft, a traveler does not immediately change the biological rhythm at the place of departure and does not immediately adjust to the life rhythm of the destination. The rhythm of the day is different from the life time zone of the destination. As a result, the mental and physical mechanisms are temporarily in dissonance, and the mental work ability is reduced due to sleep / wake disorders, daytime sleepiness, fatigue, decreased appetite, blurry, heavy head,
It causes a variety of other jet lag syndromes, and people who travel abroad for work or sightseeing may not be able to perform enough activities at the destination in the few days immediately after arrival.

[0003] For studying for various examinations and staying up late,
I fall asleep from midnight to dawn and wake up in the afternoon,
Delayed sleep phase syndrome, which has become difficult to correct due to fixed sleep hours, causes sleep and wake disorders such as impaired eyes, reduced concentration and thinking ability, and leads to a more normal social life during the test. It is an obstacle.

[0004] People who work at night due to shift work and the like have a life opposite to the usual day shift and night sleep of day shift, and the biological rhythm including sleep and wakefulness awakens at night and sleeps during the day. Difficulties in rapidly synchronizing with daily rhythms cause reduced work efficiency, drowsiness during work, fatigue, decreased appetite, and various other sleep / wake disorders.

Conventionally, in the treatment of sleep / wake disorders caused by jet lag syndrome or sleep phase depression syndrome, a box-shaped light irradiating device in which fluorescent lamps and the like are arranged usually emits high illuminance light of 2500 to 3000 lux or more. Light irradiation therapy (light therapy) was applied.

The treatment of jet lag syndrome is performed in the morning at the destination, and the treatment of delayed sleep phase syndrome is performed by exposing the human body to high-intensity light early in the morning and sometimes watching the light source.
Eliminate sleep / wake disorders. As a treatment for time lag syndrome, there is a type in which a bulb is attached to a lens portion of glasses or goggles and light is emitted.

Conventionally, sleep / wake disorders due to night shifts have been prevented by keeping the working environment from midnight to early morning at a brightness of about 7000 to 12,000 lux.

[0008]

A box-shaped light irradiation device in which fluorescent lamps and the like are arranged is inconvenient to carry due to its size, and a power supply must be secured. Due to the high light intensity, it was dazzling and annoying to anyone other than the healer, and had to be used in an isolated private room.

The eyeglasses or goggles body for treating jet lag is connected to the power supply by a lead wire, and the wiring and the power supply unit are caught on clothes or body, and are inconvenienced by being entangled in a seat or the like in an airplane. Also, during use, the bulb was heated and uncomfortable, and there was a risk of burns.

Lighting equipment for maintaining the working environment at a brightness of about 7000 to 12,000 lux is a large-scale lighting equipment for the entire workplace, and when entering and exiting the workplace frequently, it is rather tired because of the difference in brightness. It will be.

The present invention is portable, does not need to secure power supply, does not bother others during use, does not limit the treatment place, does not need wiring and power supply unit, simple sleep and wake An object of the present invention is to provide a treatment device for obstructive light.

[0012]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a small, rod-shaped chemical light (light stick or penlight) 2 which emits light using a chemical reaction on the inside 1 of a lens portion formed of a light-shielding material in eyeglasses. The means for wearing is adopted, and immediately before using the sleep / wake disorder light therapy glasses, the chemical light 2 is emitted and the inside of the lens unit 1 is emitted.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention adopts the above-described means, is portable, does not require a power source, does not require wiring and a power source unit, and diffuses light during use to cause trouble for others. You can use it anytime, anywhere. The light emission of the chemical light hardly generates heat, so that the danger of burn during use can be prevented.

[0014] Even when traveling by a jet aircraft, it is used in a seat, and without inconveniencing others, light therapy is performed in advance at the morning time of the arrival place to adjust the circadian rhythm of the traveler to the life time zone of the arrival place, It is possible to prevent the syndrome.

[0015] The treatment of the sleep phase delay syndrome for studying for an examination or staying up late can be conveniently performed on a bed without getting up.

In the prevention and treatment of sleep / wake disorders due to night shift, it is possible to meet the individual needs and the degree of sleep / wake disorders on an individual basis, rather than for the entire workplace.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention.

[0018]

According to the present invention, by implementing high-intensity light therapy with a combination of eyeglasses and chemical lights, it is possible to eliminate limitations on the treatment place, increase convenience, improve convenience, and prevent danger during use. .
