A lack of sleep can have a big impact on your work performance and quality of life. If you’re struggling to get enough shut eye, a mask that uses light to help you fall asleep and wake up may be able to help. The mask uses Light Therapy Sleep Mask to show calming red sunset-like lighting in the evening and energizing blue light in the morning.

Light Therapy Sleep Mask: Improve Sleep Quality Naturally

Its creators claim that the light therapy can reset your circadian rhythm – the term scientists use to describe your internal body clock. Studies have shown that exposure to bright light at certain times can improve mood and energy levels, and reduce the amount of REM (rapid eye movement) sleep you get.

Light Therapy Sleep Mask is based on the same kind of light therapy used in clinics and hospitals, and is designed to be comfortable and portable. You connect it to your smartphone via a Bluetooth LE connection, and a companion app lets you set different programs based on your goals. Whether you want to tackle jet lag, shift your sleep schedule earlier, or just get more sleep overall, the app makes it easy to create and follow a plan.

The mask itself is fairly lightweight and comfortable, with a soft, luxurious feel. It also has excellent blackout capabilities, and the tech heart of the device – a mask insert with LED lights – slides easily into a side slit that’s closed with Velcro. The battery lasts for about four days of regular use, and recharges quickly. A built-in microphone lets you speak with the app while it’s in operation, and the app also allows you to choose what ambient sounds to play as you’re falling asleep or waking up.
