How Wearable Tech from Lumos & Embr Wave Can Unlock Your Best Night Of Rest

 

Sharing a bed with a partner can be wonderful—until your sleep rhythms clash. Maybe you're an early bird, and they’re a night owl. Or one of you runs hot while the other piles on the blankets. Enter the perfect sleep tech duo: the Embr Wave and the Lumos Sleep Mask.

The Problem: Sleep Rhythm Mismatch

When one partner wants to sleep early, but the other stays up, it can lead to light disturbances, temperature battles, and general frustration. A mismatch in circadian rhythms can disrupt rest, leaving both partners exhausted.

 

The Solution: Embr Wave x Lumos - A Tech-Powered Sleep Sanctuary

Using Embr Wave, a personal temperature control wearable, and the Lumos Sleep Mask, which optimizes your light exposure for better circadian alignment, you can create an individualized sleep environment—even while sharing a bed.

How They Work Together

• Lumos Sleep Mask: This smart mask uses timed light therapy to help shift your circadian rhythm gradually, whether you need to wake up earlier or adjust to a new schedule. Instead of disruptive bedroom lights, you get a controlled, gentle light cue—just for you.
• Embr Wave: Whether you tend to overheat or shiver at night, the Embr Wave provides personalized cooling or warming on demand. No more battling over the thermostat or comforter.

Circadian Rhythm: The Key to Better Sleep

A healthy circadian rhythm, your natural sleep cycle, is the foundation for a good night’s sleep. 

Lumos Smart Sleep Mask is a personalized light therapy device that uses patented light therapy technology to help you strengthen this foundation, so you can enjoy a good night’s sleep and wake up refreshed. 

Circadian Rhythm Disruptions in Modern Society

In an ideal world, our bodies would follow the natural rise and fall of the sun, keeping our sleep cycles perfectly in sync. However, modern life has disrupted this natural rhythm in countless ways—from evening light exposure and shift work to frequent travel across time zones.

Disruptions to the our internal circadian rhythm—the internal clock that regulates sleep, wakefulness, and overall well-being—can lead to:

• Poor Sleep Quality – Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up feeling unrested.
• Daytime Fatigue & Brain Fog – Trouble concentrating, reduced productivity, and sluggish energy levels.
• Increased Health Risks – Long-term circadian misalignment has been linked to a higher risk of metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disease, and mood disturbances.

Lumos: A Smarter Way to Sleep

Decades of research from Stanford have demonstrated that short light flashes were highly effective in regulating the human circadian clock, offering a powerful, non-invasive way to shift sleep-wake cycles and improve overall sleep quality.

🔷 The Lumos technology is seamlessly embedded into a soft, breathable sleep mask, making it easy to integrate into your bedtime routine.

🔷 Simply connect Lumos to your smartphone via the Lumos iOS app, where you can choose from a variety of sleep programs designed to help you adjust your circadian rhythm for better sleep, energy, and alertness.

🔷 After you input your sleep schedule and goals, Lumos creates a personalized light program tailored to optimize your body clock, whether you need help adjusting to a new time zone, working night shifts, or improving overall sleep quality.

Embr Wave

Press To Cool. Press To Warm.

Embr Wave is a smart cooling and warming wristband that uses temperature therapy to help you feel better. 

Ever held an ice cube to the inside of your wrist or the side of your neck on a sweltering hot day and felt the cooling sensation spread throughout your entire body? That’s exactly how Embr Wave works. 

🔷At the touch of a button, the Embr Wave wristband generates cool or warm sensations by moving heat away from or toward your skin in waves.

🔷The precisely calibrated cooling or warming waves gently stimulate the temperature-sensitive nerves on the inside of your wrist.

🔷The thermal stimulus triggers a natural mind-body comfort response that helps bring relief for sleep, hot flashes, stress, and more. 

Personalized Temperature Control At The Touch Of A Button

Temperature is a universal physical sensation that can be used to help us feel better in a myriad of different situations. When it comes to sleep, Embr Wave uses temperature sensations to activate your body’s natural thermoregulation system. By delivering gentle cooling or warming waves to the inside of your wrist, the Wave helps you feel more comfortable and relaxed—key factors for falling and staying asleep.

🔷Cooling to Fall Asleep Faster
If you tend to overheat at night, Embr Wave’s cooling sessions provide relief. A cooler sensation on your wrist sends signals to your brain that help you feel cooler overall, making it easier to drift off.

🔶Warming for Deeper Relaxation
Some people struggle with falling asleep due to feeling chilly or tense. The warming sessions with Embr Wave helps simulate the soothing sensation of a warm blanket, promoting relaxation and easing you into sleep.

😴Personalized Sleep Modes
The Sleep Mode in the Embr Wave app is specifically designed to deliver rhythmic cooling or warming waves with a variety of Sleep sessions that gradually lull you into a deeper state of rest and help you stay asleep. You can customize the sessions based on your comfort preferences.

We Do Our Research

Embr Labs and Johnson & Johnson formed a partnership to study the benefits of Embr Wave for menopausal women dealing with hot flashes and thermal sleep disturbances. 

After just two weeks, the study participants reported significant improvements in the ability to fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer; reduced daytime sleepiness; and improved control over their hot flashes. Embr Wave also helped them feel less uncomfortable when a hot flash occurred and improved their ability to return to sleep after a nighttime hot flash.
