Those are just two of the remedies being tested in an anti-jet lag “concept room” at the Westin Chicago River North hotel. The Today Show’s Peter Greenberg reports the blue lights are meant to make travelers feel more alert, while the smoothies are considered calming.

Also under evaluation: oscillating fans, talking meditation machines and “stumble lights” that switch on when you get out of bed. 

No word on whether they plan to stock the mini-bar with Viagra.
