Scientifically proven light therapy glasses

20 years of clinical studies and chronobiology research including Harvard, Oxford and NASA have shown that we can actively manage our inner body clocks, sleep patterns and energy levels in order to lead a happier and healthier lifestyle.

How does AYO work?

1. Special Blue Light stimulates eye cells - similar to the sunlight, AYOs soft blue light enters your eyes and stimulates sensory cells called photosensitive Retinal Ganglion cells (ipRGCs).
2. Regulates production of sleep hormones - activated cells send signals to the brain area called Suprachiasmatic Nucleus to suppress the production of melatonin. This helps your internal body clock to be optimized according to your lifestyle.
3. Sleep Cycle and energy levels are improved - you will feel energized immediately after the melatonin suppression. As a result, before your bedtime, melatonin levels will rise actively, so you can fall asleep easily.

Which effects does AYO has on you after using it?

Short-term effects

When your eyes are exposed to AYO's blue light, it signals your body to wake up by suppressing the level of melatonin. As a result, you will feel more energized and active in a natural way.

Long-term effects

By being exposed to AYO light about 20 minutes a day with the right timing and intensity, your body rhythm will be optimized. As a result, your sleep patterns and energy levels will be improved.

Frequently asked questions

The battery charging lights on the AYO case show up for a few seconds and then they shut off. Is that normal behavior?

This is a normal behavior of the AYO case and its battery indicator. When you make a connection (either between the case and a power source or between the wearable and the case when laying the wearable inside the case, the battery light indicator would blink for a few seconds to show there is a connection created and then it will shut off to preserve the battery.

However, once you have made a charging connection, the charging process will continue (even though it is not blinking unless you tap on the battery light indicator) until full charge.

I get an error using more than one program. What can I do?

Once you set a program in the AYO app and start using your AYO wearable, you begin to adjust your inner body clock in order to achieve a certain shift. This means that in majority of the times, the AYO programs are not compatible with one another. Therefore, in certain cases, the AYO app would give you an error message to show you that you already use a program. You need to cancel the program first in order to proceed with another program. In case you use the following programs, you can only run the energy program in addition:

• Travel program
• Sleep program
• Chronolink program
• Chronofit program

In case you receive an error message that you use an active program already but you'd like to start a new one, please go to SCHEDULE menu in the AYO app and cancel any active program. Then you can start any program that you like.
