Circadian rhythm phase locking for traveling special forces operators: Using light exposure to maintain time zone entrainment

Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the impact of light exposure on cognitive performance, particularly in relation to maintaining alertness and performance during times that are out of sync with the body's circadian rhythms.

Shift work: The paper discusses the challenges faced by Special Operations Forces who often have to work during times that are out of sync with their circadian rhythms, similar to shift workers.

Jet lag: The paper discusses the use of controlled light exposures to manage jet lag in Special Operations Forces traveling across multiple time zones.

Phototherapy: The paper discusses the use of controlled light exposures, specifically blue-light goggles and blue-blocking, orange-tinted glasses, to maintain the circadian rhythm of Special Operations Forces traveling across multiple time zones.

Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the role of light exposure in regulating the release of melatonin, a hormone that plays a key role in the body's circadian rhythm.

Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the use of specific types of light (blue-light goggles and blue-blocking, orange-tinted glasses) in maintaining the circadian rhythm of Special Operations Forces traveling across multiple time zones.
