LYS: Take Care Your Circadian Rhythm

Measure your light intake and manage your sleep-wake cycle over time. LYS guides you to get more light during the day and to avoid blue light at night.

Not getting enough light during the day makes you feel lazy and without energy, and too much light in the evening prevents you from a good night’s sleep

Look around you right now, what kind of light are you exposed to?

If you’re like 87% of people living on earth, you probably spend most of your time indoors. In your daily routine, from your home to your workplace, and public transport in between, getting enough daily light to keep a healthy circadian rhythm can seem difficult.

LYS is the world’s first user-focused light measuring wearable and app that takes care of your circadian rhythm.

Patent pending technology developed by LYS Technologies Ltd.

The team’ve worked tirelessly over the past year to develop a sleek Scandinavian-designed wearable sensor and app that take care of your circadian rhythm.

The results of using LYS are positive. Trial data showed that using the wearable and app for three weeks decreased the time to fall asleep by 40% and tripled users’ perceived energy levels during the day.

In addition, LYS empowered users to make small changes in their daily routine that had significant impact on their wellbeing. From crossing to the sunny side of the street, to eating lunch by the window or shifting the angle of their work desk, LYS helped them make lasting improvements.

Embedded within the genes of almost all living beings on Earth, are the instructions for a biological clock that marks the passage of approximately 24 hours. Biological clocks, or circadian rhythms (circa “about”, diem “a day”), help time our sleep patterns, alertness, mood, sleep and much more.

Natural daylight triggers our metabolism to start working: it gives us energy and boosts our concentration levels, and after sunset our bodies produce melatonin, a natural sleeping medicine.

With darkness and warm dim light, our body temperature drops, melatonin (our natural sleep medicine) is produced and tiredness increases in anticipation of going to bed.

Under normal light conditions, experience a 24-hour pattern of light and dark, and our circadian clock uses this signal to align biological time to the day and night.

However, in urban environments most people are exposed the wrong light at the wrong time of the day and live out of sync with their natural circadian rhythm.

Light is the main time-giver for our brain and body. Any disruption from unnatural light at an unnatural time therefore upsets our energy levels, mood and sleep patterns.

In fact, your circadian rhythm is so important that it just won a Nobel Prize! Just weeks ago, American researchers were awarded the prize for their discoveries of the mechanisms controlling the circadian rhythm.

In urban environments our lifestyle no longer relies on inputs from nature. Health-consciousness is on the rise, yet equally spend 90% of our time inside our homes and offices, with a daily on average 10 hours glaring at screens. we constantly surround ourselves with artificial lighting in a routine that makes little sense to our body’s circadian rhythm.

Disrupting your circadian rhythm has a direct impact on your sleep and it is recommended to avoid blue wavelengths of light 2-3 hours before bedtime.

A good night’s sleep is essential for the restoration of cells and memory consolidation.

LYS Technologies has developed the LYS sensor and specialised algorithms to mimic the photoreceptors in the eyes and calculate circadian stimulus. Inputs gathered by the sensor are analysed, transformed into empowering insights, displayed directly in the LYS app.

LYS has been developed to integrate with everyday life. It is a small, Scandinavian-designed device that is discreet and can be clipped onto virtually anything and get syncing with the natural day and night cycle of light for a healthier living.

LYS offers:

With miniature sensors that replicate the photoreceptors inside your eyes, the LYS wearable knows exactly what type of light your eyes are receiving in real-time.
Clip it onto just about anything. With a fresh navy blue finish, the LYS wearable was intricately designed to be a one style fits all device.
The battery lasts for 7 days on a single charge and They’ve also made LYS water resistant and long lasting.
LYS is a coin size wearable with a diameter of 29 mm (1.14 inch)

Understand the light in your everyday surroundings.

The charger is designed as a bedside table docking station, allowing you to track the light in your bedroom while you sleep.

The LYS app will give you personalised insight into your data and deliver not just informative, but also prescriptive information to help transform data into action. With functions such as real-time readings, overview dashboards and goals of light received through the day (“Day Light”) and throughout the night (“Sleep Ready”), you can take charge of your own data.

Understanding and acting on your circadian rhythm has never been easier.

Get real-time actionable feedback to help you always be in the right light at the right time of the day.

Tell the LYS app when you go to sleep and when you wake to customise your personal goals.

Daily Light and Blue Light goals propel you to reach your optimum light exposure, every day.

With super accurate overview features, you can understand your light habits, what time of the day you’re missing targets and how you’ve improved with LYS.
