LightSleeper

About LightSleeper

The biggest innovation in sleep since the pillow.

You’ll find Light Sleeper to be the most natural thing in the world. Light Sleeper is a very clever device that projects a soothing light on the ceiling. The light moves in a circular motion above the bed. You follow the light with your eyes for a few minutes, and you begin to drift off.

A light? For sleeping? Isn’t that contradictory?

We have been testing Light Sleeper in real world situations for many months now. It has proven itself to be effective, both in getting people to sleep in the first place, as well as helping them get back to sleep when they wake up in the middle of the night. Light Sleeper’s ease of use (just tap it to turn it on) makes it ideal for use at any time, at home or while travelling.

Why does this work? Following the light has the effect of relaxing the mind, a necessary prerequisite to entering a deep, refreshing sleep, a product designer with insomnia.

How it works

- LightSleeper helps you get to sleep in a completely natural way. - When you turn on the device and turn off the lights in your bedroom LightSleeper projects a light on the ceiling above your bed. - The light moves in a controlled, circular, and soothing manner. Follow the light with your eyes, while lying in bed. Gradually, your mind will relax and you’ll be ready to sleep well and enjoy a longer, better quality sleep.

Following the light with your eyes imitate the action of reading, but without stimulating the mind; hence you’re relaxed and able to fall asleep and stay asleep. Light Sleeper shuts itself off after 30 minutes, and it’s easy to turn on again should you happen to wake up for some reason.

How to use it

As easy as-well, falling asleep

1. Correct placement of the Light Sleeper

Light Sleeper should be placed at your bedside, where it can project onto your ceiling without obstruction. It should be positioned so you can see the light on the ceiling easily, without straining your neck or eyes. Your bedroom should be as dark as possible (consider using lined curtains) and, ideally, the temperature should be between 13 and 24°C (55 and 75°F).

2. Operating LightSleeper

The switch at the back of LightSleeper turns it on. A button on the base allows you to adjust the brightness of the light. The green indicator lights tell you the brightness level; five is the maximum brightness. Each time you push the brightness button the brightness will increase until you’ve reached level five; at that point, pushing the button will decrease brightness.

The optimal level of brightness for most people is when you can just see the spot of light projected on the ceiling. It needn’t be any brighter than that.

3. Changing the ModeLight Sleeper has a two modes: constant and pulsing.Press and hold the brightness button for two seconds to toggle between both of these modes. When Light Sleeper is in pulsing mode the green indicator lights will gently pulse.

4. Battery ChargeCharging Light Sleeper’s rechargeable batteries takes 10-12 hours; this will provide for up to 10 complete 30 minute cycles or 8-10 days in standby mode. Of course, you may also use Light Sleeper, while it is plugged into the main’s power.Light Sleeper is proudly designed & built in Britain
