The JETLOG 24x7 PowerNapping Springboard Module turns the Handspring Visor handheld computer into a power napping enabler.

Following proven and reliable napping strategies created by NASA for astronauts and pilots in flight, JETLOG's onboard sensor interface times power naps according to the most beneficial sleep stages, allowing rapid fatigue countermeasure deployments.

JETLOG's technology properly times power naps according to efficient sleep stages for beneficial fatigue recovery. Properly timing naps to prevent deep sleep and dreaming not only relieves negative post nap effects such as grogginess, disorientation, or headaches, but also avoids subsequent sleep loss, which would otherwise compromise regular sleep.

JETLOG utilizes a touch-sensor located on the 24x7 PowerNappingSpringboard module specifically designed to monitor a person's transitions into critical sleep stages. It initiates wake-up calls whenever the person who touches the sensor starts diving into deep sleep or dreaming by detecting a significant drop of correlated muscle tension.

JETLOG's 24x7 PowerNap software is based on BigClock 2.8. It allows simple application control and displays Total Nap Times, as well as vital information, such as optional timer and alarm settings on the main screen. The module provides options for discrete wake-up calls via included headsets and personal wakeup call recordings over the Visor microphone.

"Managing tight time schedules has always been a core function of the handheld computer, and JETLOG's innovative approach will help busy, people combat fatigue and maximize efficiency," said Rita Sharma, business development manager at Handspring.

The JETLOG 24x7 PowerNapping module was exclusively released as Springboard module and is now available at www.PalmGear.com for $99.95.
