Indeed they are. Funny thing is they work well on some flights, and I experience no jetlag, on others they don't work so well. I usually get the worse jetlag on time differences such as Hawaii and Australia. Even on some of the short US East Coast - UK eastbound flights I have managed to sleep well enough to avoid jetlag. I've even tried limiting and even cutting out alcohol on those short red eye flights.
