Product Name: Trakdot Luggage tracker

Manufacturer: Globatrac, LLC

Product Description: Use the Trakdot Luggage tracker to track your luggage while traveling. Just place the Trakdot Luggage tracker inside your suitcase before boarding.

When you fly, the Trakdot Luggage tracker knows and goes to sleep. Upon arriving at your destination, the tracker wakes up and reports its new location. A text message or email is sent to you confirming that your luggage has arrived with you. For iPhones, the app will work on iPhone 4S and higher that are running iOS 7 and higher. For Android, the app will work on Android devices with Android 2.3 and higher.

2. Re-Timer Sleep Glasses

Product Name: Re-Timer Sleep Glasses

Manufacturer: Re-timer Technologies

Product Description: The Re-Timer Sleep Glasses helps frequent travelers in need of sleep assistance to re-time their body clocks to reduce jet lag and sleep better. Your sleep-wake cycle is timed by an invisible clock called your circadian rhythm. This rhythm is naturally timed by bright light being absorbed by photo receptors in your eyes. International travel can interfere with your circadian rhythm resulting in tiredness and fatigue. The Re-Timer Sleep Glasses device is a light device (worn just like a pair of glasses) that produces a 100% UV-free green light source shown in university trials to be the optimal wavelength to re-time the circadian rhythm, allowing you to reduce jet lag.

MSRP: $299.00
