The Sleep Deprivation Pandemic
Over 220 million people in the US and EU regularly get less than seven hours of sleep.
Sleep deprivation has been linked to growing average screen time, which delays the production of melatonin, the "sleep hormone".
This sleep-wake cycle disruption impacts far more than your daytime focus. Poor sleep hygiene contributes weakened immune system, obesity, diabetes, depression & anxiety, insomnia, etc.
Blocking blue light after sunset, can be a significant step toward improving sleep quality and the body's natural repair processes .
Our products help you optimize blue light exposure timing and restore your circadian rhythm.

FAQs
During a full moon, the typical lunar illuminance is around 0.05 to 0.1 lux, but under exceptional conditions like a supermoon, it can go up to 0.26 to 0.30 lux.
But even such a tiny input drives the monthly cycles of the whole natural world, like animal behavior, plant growth, human sleep and behavior.
For comparison your phone on minimum brightness still shines somewhere around 0.44 lux from about 20cm distance.
So your body likely experiences a supermoon on steroids every single day before you go to sleep.
In short, no.
Vitae bulbs are designed for local task lamps. You could however, use it in a ceiling lamp in very small bathrooms.
In a ~20 square metrer room you could use vitae in a ceiling lamp with 3-4 E27 sockets.
We believe in simplicity.
If app operated, vitae would no longer be night safe, since it would require phone use and thus possibly exposing you to blue light.
Benefits of the manual approach:
- Ease of use for any age group
- No WiFi - no stand by power usage
- Reliability
Although quite magical, Vitae won't save you from other light sources. The orange blue-free mode offers a way to keep lights on while not disrupting melatonin production.
For optimal results, use Vitae's first mode 90min before sleep and as the only light source.
