Hi there, and thank you for sharing your experience with the AYO wearable and app. We’re glad to hear that you find the app valuable.
We’re sorry to learn that you are not yet experiencing the desired effect. Depending on the intended outcome, light therapy can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks before noticeable results appear. We are here to support you, and a member of our team will be in touch shortly to better understand your experience and see if and how your use of AYO can be optimized.
Regarding the strength of the light, we understand your point, especially when comparing AYO to traditional bright light therapy lamps. AYO uses a very specific narrow-band blue light that is uniquely effective for circadian rhythm adjustment. This is important because of the following reasons:
• Perceived Brightness vs. Biological Effect: The human eye perceives blue light as much less bright than white light. However, for circadian adjustment, this wavelength is up to 3–5 times more effective than broader-spectrum light. This means you get strong biological effects without the discomfort of blinding brightness.
• Gentle on the Eyes: Because of the lack of glare, the light feels soft and comfortable, even at high settings. Yet biologically, it delivers a very potent circadian signal.
• Adjustable Intensity: If you haven’t tried already, you can increase the light intensity in the app up to 100%, which some users find enhances their results.
Thank you again for your feedback. We truly value it and will reach out soon to ensure you get the best possible outcome from your AYO experience.
Kind regards,
The AYO Team
