I am based in the US, but I race often in Europe. With the Lumos mask I am able to sleep uninterrupted on the first night of my arrival in a new country, and I feel great throughout the next day. Previously this would require several days of adjustment. The mask also helps with my return travel, so that I can get back to training quickly.

Use Lumos to: transition for night shifts
The biggest difference is (on) my first night on rotation, I’m far more alert. I don’t have the usual yawning that people get between 2-4 am; I feel much more like my normal self. It’s night and day difference.

Use Lumos to: beat jet lag
Previously when I came home from Bali I had brain fogs for several days and jet lag for three weeks. Now I just hit the ground running every time.

Use Lumos to: wake up feeling refreshed
As much as I like the Lumos Sleep Mask for traveling and time zone changes, I’ve found I like it even more for the Sunrise Alarm feature. The light slowly awakens me, so that when I get out of bed, I feel more refreshed and quite fully awake. In addition, the comfortable mask blocks out all other light, very much enhancing my sleep quality. This thing is my treasure!

Use Lumos to: wake up early
Lumos is a powerful tool to get back on track after a long weekend or late nights working.

Use Lumos to: transition for night shifts
The Lumos Sleep Mask has helped me adjust my sleep schedule to my overnight 8PM to 5AM shifts. After using the mask I have found it easier to be alert throughout the overnight shifts and have been able to extend my hours of sleep after work for a better recovery.

Use Lumos to: beat jet lag
I feel more confident flying a day before or the same day as my business meetings in a different time zone because I can now travel without having to worry about getting affected by jet lag.

Use Lumos to: beat jet lag
The best part is being able to land 10 hours off and your body resyncs itself almost instantly. It's reprogramming your brain like resetting the hands of the clock on your watch.

Use Lumos to: sleep through the night
I used to wake up at around 3am every night and stayed awake for one or two hours before being able to fall back asleep. With Lumos, I'm now able to sleep through the night. It's truly a life saver!
Easy to use, Say goodbye to sleepless nights
Based on decades of research from Stanford University Product development supported by NASA, DoD, and NSF Tested in multiple human-subject studies (IRB-approved)
Picture your circadian clock as the solid foundation of a good night's sleep, much like a well-built house. Various activities can compromise this foundation, affecting the quality of your sleep. The Lumos Sleep Mask is designed to be your structure engineer for sleep, offering customizable light therapy to support and strengthen this essential foundation. By having a dialed circadian clock, you may naturally have better sleep, higher energy, and improved well-being.
Can the Lumos Sleep Mask help me fall asleep faster?
If you find yourself trying to sleep at times when your body isn't naturally inclined to, it may take a while to fall asleep. Lab studies with biomarkers have shown that the light technology in Lumos was effective in shifting human circadian clocks. By shifting your circadian clock, you can prepare your body for sleep earlier, making the process of falling asleep more efficient.
I want to wake up early. Can I use Lumos?
Certainly! Lumos equips two different tools to help you wake up early. By shifting your circadian clock, you can prepare your body to fall asleep earlier and wake up earlier.
In addition to the light flash programs design to shift your circadian clock, the Lumos mask is also equipped with a feature with gradual light simulation. By simulating a natural sunrise, the Lumos Sleep Mask gently signals your body to wake up, aiding in a smoother and more energized morning transition.
How does Lumos help with jet lag?
Jet lag occurs when our circadian clock falls out of sync with a new environment, leading to sleep difficulties and daytime grogginess. Normally, the body can adjust to a 1-hour time zone difference per day, so transitioning from the US to Europe might take about a week. The Lumos Mask utilizes effective light technology known to shift human circadian clocks. By incorporating Lumos before your trip, you can prepare your body for a quicker and smoother adaptation to different time zones.
How does Lumos help with night shifts?
Lumos is designed to support individuals working night shifts by addressing the challenges of circadian rhythm disruption.
Light therapy, like what we deliver in the Lumos Smart Sleep Mask, may help you adjust your circadian clock based on when you want to sleep. Additionally, both comfortable and functional, the Lumos mask can also help you block the light if you have to sleep during the day.
In our DoD-funded night shift study, participants using Lumos consistently demonstrated higher alertness during night shifts and improved sleep both during the night shift rotation and in post-shift recovery when compared to not using Lumos or using placebo control.
How may teenagers use Lumos?
In our teenage years, our bodies naturally produce melatonin, a sleep-inducing chemical, 2-3 hours later than in adulthood. Early school and work schedules can make it challenging for teens to get enough sleep.
A study from Dr. Zeitzer's lab at Stanford showed that brief light flashes, used alongside cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-i), helped teens go to bed earlier and sleep an extra 45 minutes each night. We've incorporated this light flash technology into the Lumos Mask, bringing this research to you or your kids for better.
Can I use the Lumos Sleep Mask if I have a sleep disorder?
Lumos is not intended to be used for the diagnosis or treatment of any sleep disorders. If you have a sleep disorder or suspect that you may have one, it is better to talk to your doctor, or even better, get an appointment at a sleep clinic to get further help.
