What Is Light Therapy?

Light therapy, sometimes called phototherapy, is the use of light to treat a broad range of health and medical conditions. Light therapy glasses are portable devices worn while you get dressed, have breakfast, work out or even have an early morning conference call instead of being anchored in your chair during therapy. But it may ease symptoms, increase your energy levels, and help you feel better.

How Do The AYO+ Light Therapy Glasses Work?

The AYO+ Light Therapy Glasses work to simulate sunlight and promote an energy boost through a light box within the glasses frame. Like sunlight, AYO’s gentle blue light enters your eyes and stimulates sensory cells in the retina called photosensitive Retinal Ganglion Cells (ipRGCs). This sends a biological signal through the optic nerve towards your body’s master clock located in your brain.

Your sleep, heart rate and blood pressure, immune system, metabolism, body temperature, hormones, performance and mood, are all influenced by your circadian rhythm.

AYO helps you align this natural cycle of physical, mental, and behaviour changes that the body goes through during 24-hours, with your lifestyle rhythm and daily activities to help achieve wellness and by extension, a health sleeping pattern. By getting your rhythms in sync, you can enjoy a myriad of health & wellness benefits all by shifting the light spectrum in your everyday life.

The Technical Science Behind AYO

Why Circadian Rhythm?

Researchers have found that molecular organisms have their sleep habits, physical state, mental state, behaviour and energy governed by specific wavelengths and rhythms that run on a 24-hour. These rhythms are dictated by an internal clock that respond primarily to light-dark cycles that is in sync with direct light.

What Is Chronobiology?

Chronobiology a branch of biology that specifically studies rhythms within the body and examines the effects of time on biological events and internal biological clocks.

Studies have shown that we can control, to some extent, our circadian rhythm, biological clocks, sleep patterns and energy levels in order to obtain healthier, happier and more active lives.

What Is Blue Light?

One of the major disruptors to sleep can be blue light that is emitted from electronic screens. Blue light is also known as high-energy visible (HEV) light and is a colour visible on the light spectrum that can trick the brain into thinking it's daytime all the time. When this occurs, the body stops releasing a sleep hormone called melatonin that helps you sleep before bed.

AYO produces a similar artificial light but assists in synchronisation of circadian rhythms to the 24-hour light-dark cycles. While using the AYO+, light is regulated to ensure that while you have optimal amounts of energy and you don't fall into delayed sleep phase syndrome.

Sleep Conditions That Can Be Treated With Light Therapy

Light therapy has a profound impact on the body clock and lends itself to a range of conditions that concern a person's circadian health. Circadian rhythm is the biological clock that regulates several physiological functions of the body, including the sleep-wake cycle, immunity, hormone secretion, and temperature. 

Therefore, there are a variety of conditions or issues that can be assisted through light therapy, including:

Insomnia: Difficulty falling asleep is quite common and can occur due to numerous reasons. However, chronic insomnia should be treated by a qualified medical physician with effective means. Light therapy may be an option if advised.

Difficulty waking up: Nobody wants to wake up on a cold, dark day and it can be difficult to cope with if you're not an early morning person. The AYO+ bright, gentle light in the morning can be the perfect stimulator to assist your body in adapting to being awake.

Jet lag: Jet lag can be completely debilitating. Travelling across multiple time zones can seriously hinder your ability to sleep and disturb your natural sleep habits and wake schedules. Light therapy can help you feel more energised and at your best whether it's for work or even leisure, you will feel refreshed when you reach your destination.

Shift work: Shift workers, and especially nightshift workers, are key offenders of not getting enough natural light. These people face enormous challenges in trying to adapt their body clock to fit schedules that are not natural and often change quite constantly from night to day.

Lack of energy: Working in an environment with a low amount of light can be a motivation killer making you more tired than you would already be. Light therapy glasses are an ideal and safe way to deliver a direct energy boost in an afternoon slump. They are able to simulate natural, invigorating effect of bright sunlight and boost energy.

FAQ

Can The AYO+ Be Worn With Prescription Glasses?

Yes! The AYO light therapy glasses are designed with the most common prescription glasses' frames in mind. The AYO is wearable with an adjustable nosepiece which can be put on top of prescription glasses.

Although this feature is available, it is advisable to use AYO glasses without prescription glasses for optimal results. This is because prescription glasses can interfere with the light diffusion of AYO glasses. If you use prescription glasses with a blue green light blocking filter, ensure that the filter is not blocking blue-turquoise light of 470 nm of wavelength since the light from AYO glasses will not be efficient. 

Can The AYO light Therapy Glasses Help Me Fall Asleep? Or Is It Just For Mornings?

While the recommended usage is in the morning for a 20-minute session, it depends on the desired effect. The AYO manual offers recommendations regarding requirements for different goals. These goals may be adjusting a sleep schedule, boosting energy, improving sleep or even alleviating jet lag.
