10 Oct INTRODUCING HELIGHT: Revolutionizing How You Sleep
As someone who personally experiences trouble sleeping (who doesn’t?), I couldn’t be more excited to announce that we’re now representing NEW Helight, scientifically studied red light therapy devices that help improve your overall health, sleep and recovery. Their latest breakthrough innovation, Helight Sleep, allows you to step into the latest era of sleep solutions using red light technology. Revolutionizing how we view the power of sleep, the brand is entering the US market after incredible success in Europe and Canada, perfectly timed to ensure that transitioning from season-to-season doesn’t take a toll on your wellbeing, and for giving the gift of the quality slumber of everyone’s dreams this holiday season.
Embarking on a new frontier, researchers discovered the effects of red light on sleep after witnessing its positive impact on the athletic performance of basketball players in a groundbreaking study. Building upon these findings and coupled with the inspiration from NASA’s research related to the exposure of light at specific wavelengths, Helight Sleep has emerged as the pinnacle of sleep innovation helping users to fall asleep faster, sleep better and sleep deeper.
Featuring patented technology, award-winning Helight Sleep ($139.99 at Helight.com; Merchant ID 145914, Mastertag ID 61813 ) is the fruit of three years of research and development completed as a collaboration between engineers and a scientific committee comprised of renowned sleep disorder expert Dr. Claude Gronfier, medical physicist Ph.D. Olivier Caselles and a PhD in cognitive sciences. With nothing like it on the market, it is the first non-invasive sleep aid that requires no user attention or intervention. The combination of the following critical parameters and patented protocol is what makes the device so effective:
● The device emits a precise wavelength (630 nanometers +/-5nm, monochromatic) that passes through your eyelids and is picked up by photosensitive cells, triggering a biomechanism that helps you relax, predisposing the body to natural melatonin production.
● A meticulously calibrated protocol diffuses this wavelength for 14 minutes at an optimal intensity, followed by the red light gradually fading out over 14 additional minutes, ensuring an uninterrupted, smooth transition.
○ This 28-minute protocol mirrors the natural cycle of light at the end of the day.
○ The device’s studied lens curve and diffusion creates enveloping light, avoiding a single point source.
● The result? A reduction of the impact of blue light exposure from screens at night, as well as addressing various sleep concerns, to enhance falling asleep faster and achieving a deeper, more restful snooze.
About Helight:
Helight is a French and Canadian manufacturer of photobiomodulation devices since 2015. Photobiomodulation is the metabolization of light at certain wavelengths by cells which will promote tissue regeneration as well as have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
It has been used in medical applications for many years in the form of Low-Level Laser Therapy, which is now much more accessible through the latest LED technology. Its most studied wavelength is the 630-660 nanometer range, a red hue, also known as Red Light Therapy. It was by using our professional photobiomodulation device that our clients started noticing better sleep quality as well as a stark improvement in the regulation of their internal clock.
This led us to a 3 year research and development phase to design a sleep-enhancing device based on this principle and optimize its parameters to make it as efficient as possible. In 2019, 400 Helight Sleep prototypes were manufactured in order to obtain validation on a larger scale. A study of over 100 randomly selected subjects was conducted by Ph.D. Olivier Caselles, medical physicist, for final validation using industry-standard questionnaires.
