The Up Light Smart LED Bulb: Sleep Deep, Wake up Refreshed

Lets face it, not everyone’s a morning person and waking up after little or interrupted sleep negatively affects the rest of your day and your productivity. Studies show that often times, people have trouble waking because their sleep cycle is out of sync. The Up Light is the first smart bulb designed to reset your body’s sleep cycle so you wake up naturally. It’s easy to use, just download the app, and it automatically connects via Bluetooth. Simply set your wake up time and The Up Light will gently wake you up with a stimulating sunrise. You can also adjust the color temperature for more ambient lighting during the day and in the evenings you can put it into rest mode so it’s more conducive to sleep, you can even use it as a night light that will gradually turn itself off after a period of time.

Features:
• Wake up to light and/or a gently increasing sound of your choice using your current lamp.
• Rest mode reduces the harmful blue and green wavelengths in the evenings so your lighting is more conducive to sleep.
• Sleep mode allows you to save energy while using your light as a night-light. It gradually shuts off after a set period of time. You can add sound such as a lullaby or white noise.
• Timer lets you set a time for it to automatically turn on and shut off.
• Energize mode: Need to energize? Great for supplemental light therapy, this mode provides the maximum white light stimulation.
• Fun: with 16 million colors you can set the lighting to match your mood. Also great for the kids when they’re roleplaying!
• Durable aluminum casing so you can take it with you when traveling.

How does it work?
We have photosensitive Retinal Ganglion Cells that detect certain wavelengths of light and use it to set our circadian rhythm. So when your body senses the Up Light in the morning, it not only starts waking you up, it also starts counting time so that in 16 hours your body will start producing melatonin, then 7‐8 hours after that, it will start producing cortisol to wake you up. Your body naturally wakes up when your melatonin levels are low and your cortisol levels are high – so the timing of when those hormones are released significantly impacts how you feel when you wake up.
