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.
