Chronobiology - The science behind AYO

Chronobiology is the science behind the human body clock - our internal day and night mechanism responsible for hormone release, metabolic changes and others. Research in this area has been developing over the last 50 years. The field of Chronobiology nowadays is developed enough to allow us to actively modify and manage a healthy biological clock in order to obtain healthier, happier, and more active lives.

Light and its importance

Light is important not only for our vision but also for our general wellbeing. It helps us manage our sleep/wake cycles and our overall biological rhythm. We need light in the morning to tell our body to "wake up" and we need darkness in the evening to prepare ourselves to fall asleep. Most people enjoy a higher energy level during a bright and sunny day and experience a good night?s sleep afterwards.

The amazing effect of blue light on humans

Today's lifestyles often misalign the human body clock, which may lead to challenges including low energy levels, discomfort and lack of productivity and concentration. Numerous clinical studies in the past 15+ years have shown that blue light can play a very important role in the management of our body rhythm and help us adapt to our fast-changing and dynamic lifestyle, full of frequent traveling and irregular sleep.

You personal energy system

Through the combination of an intelligent wearable product and a sophisticated software solution, with AYO you are in charge of your energy by optimizing your body rhythm. AYO learns and adapts according to your preferences. Our smart technology is improving itself in order to better satisfy your needs. Imagine having your own personal sunshine that helps you sleep better, feel better and be better!

AYO's gentle light

When our eyes are exposed to AYO's gentle light, similar to the summer sunlight, it signals our bodies to wake up by suppressing the level of melatonin. As a result, we feel more energized and active in a natural way. By being exposed to specific blue light about 20 minutes a day, with the right timing and intensity which is dictated by the mobile app, our body rhythm will be optimized, as well as sleep patterns and energy levels. That's the natural way how frequent travelers can beat jet lag quickly, feeling fully refreshed no matter how many time zones their latest trip has spanned. Also, AYO helps overworked, exhausted users, as well as shift workers to boost their energy levels and to optimize theirs sleep cycles for energizing "sleep time" and more productive "wake time".
