It has long been known that light exerts powerful effects on the brain and on our well-being. Light is not only required for vision but is also essential for a wide range of “non-visual” functions including synchronization of our biological clock to the 24h day-night cycle. A novel photoreceptor has now been shown to be an essential component for relaying light information to a set of so-called non-visual centers in the brain. Continuous changes in light throughout the day also change us, new research suggests.
What is Blue Light Therapy?
This is why we’re so happy to present to you an awesome app that is based on this science, one that can make your sleeping and waking a true bliss. The name of the app is Blue Light Therapy, now available for all iPhone and iPad users. It is created by Alexander Stone, a developed who managed to build a successful and easy-to-use brain stimulation app. Let’s see how exactly does it work.
How Does the App Work?
Not all colors of light have the same effect on us. Blue wavelengths—which are beneficial during daylight hours because they boost attention, reaction times, and mood—seem to be the most disruptive at night. Orange light does the opposite, it relaxes you to sleep. Well Blue Light Therapy uses both of these lights to help you fall asleep and wake up with an ease. All you got to do is install the app on your iDevice, set its brightness to the maximum and play the app. You can play it for 4 minutes, you can use the loop mode, listen to audio tracks at the same time, and even use ripple effects for better engagement.
With these excellent features and many more, Blue Light Therapy can be downloaded from the App Store. Get it today and enjoy!
