Sleep matters: Could Canadian brand Helight be the secret to better sleep?

Sleep matters: Helight may hold the key to better rest

In an effort to improve sleep, Canadians rank third globally for their lack of restful slumber. A Canadian company, Helight, has developed a device that utilizes red light as part of a 28-minute protocol to aid in winding down and achieving restful sleep. Rather than simply flooding the room with red light, Helight Sleep employs a specific 630-nanometre wavelength and a carefully timed fading process to create an environment conducive to relaxation and sleep.

The compact device uses a patented 28-minute protocol that begins with 14 minutes of pure 630nm red light, followed by a gradual fade-out over the next 14 minutes. This slow transition is designed to mimic the natural progression of light at the end of the day, signaling to the brain that it's time to wind down. This approach is based on research into how light interacts with the body, with Helight's protocol inspired by NASA research.

Helight recommends using the device every night to maximize the benefits of the protocol. While some users report noticing changes within the first few nights, most notice improved sleep after 21 nights of consistent use. However, it's important to note that Helight Sleep is not a cure-all for poor sleep, but rather a tool to support the natural process of winding down for the night. To see results, it must be used consistently for at least 21 days.

For those considering incorporating red light into their evening routine, Helight Sleep offers a targeted approach with precise wavelength, intensity, and timing. The biggest consideration is that it is an additional device to incorporate into a nightly routine and an investment for anyone unsure about red-light therapy. Despite this, for those willing to commit to the process, Helight Sleep may be the secret to better sleep.
