FAQs

Typically, the optimal time to use AYO is in the morning in order to reset your natural body rhythm. However, the optimal time can vary from person to person, and will depend on your unique circadian rhythm, as well as your desired health & wellness goals. The AYO app will give you helpful guidance on when to use AYO, when to avoid light, and other important metrics.

Immediately or shortly after an AYO session, your energy levels and alertness levels can be increased. This effect happens because AYO works in a similar way to natural sunlight, suppressing the production of the sleep hormone melatonin and, thus, making you more alert and awake.

Due to the suppression of melatonin at specific time of the day-night cycle, you can also actively adjust your circadian rhythm in order to adapt it to your lifestyle. That means that you can help your body align faster to a new time zone or demanding shift as well as make sure that you wake up refreshed and ready to welcome the day on an early Monday morning.

Lastly, by suppressing melatonin during the day, we help our bodies produce more melatonin during the night for a good night’s sleep.

Based on your circadian rhythm, desired effect and lifestyle, the app can guide you fully on how to use AYO for achieving your desired goal. Alternatively, you can check out the manual of your AYO or write to us. We’d love to hear from you and help you get the most of AYO.
