Lumos Sleep

First, it’s not worth a trial as they don’t refund the whole thing if you don’t like it. They charge you $40 for the sleep mask part that probably cost them $2 from China. Second, as others have mentioned, the straps used to keep it secure are insanely bad. They are supposed to partially go over top the ear but this results in bruised ears if you do anything but sleep on your back. There are much more comfortable sleep masks that do not cause pain. Third, I was never able to get to actually use the features of it due to the pain this caused (tried for two nights but after restless sleep hours in had to get rid of it) the functionality is very jumbled. The app isn’t setup well at all. It feels like you are starting over every time you login. It asks what you want to do and you answer questions then pick a program. But if you want to do something else that might then it tells you there’s already a program and you can combine or delete it. What does combining do? Don’t know as it never says. As far as I can tell, all it does is shine light in your face at certain times that you would be awake. It also asked me if I shined light in my face on my own so it could know if I needed more I guess? Huge waste of money. The positives are probably paid as there aren’t many. Avoid this product and the company. There’s a reason they haven’t posted anything new in months on their blog. They do a once a month update on the application to keep it looking active. But you’ll notice they all just say bug fixes. I was scammed. Don’t be scammed yourself.

I have been using a wake-up clock for years so using a sleeping mask was always a no go. I love waking up naturally with no loud alarms. Summer sunrises are very early so my sleep pattern would be destroyed. I would be yawning and tired because my clock was set to 6:30 but the sun had its own plan. Then I discovered Lumos. I could block out the light and still get a sunrise waking. I am a heavy sleeper, so when I started using Lumos, and was surprised when I got even better sleep!! This product has many features, like shifting your body to the time zone you are traveling too. I recommend this product even if you think you sleep well. You might be surprised like I was.Support is awesome. I got help and they said they would add a feature I suggested!!

I have been a user of the mask since very early on. The app was a bit buggy and unintuitive back in the days, but once I got a hang of it, it became very easy. This is their new app and they added so many different functions now. I mostly use the mask for travel, domestic or international, as long as it’s more than two time zone differences, I don’t travel without it. I always make sure to use the mask before the trip following what the app tells me. It’s been years and I don’t remember what it feels like to have jet lag. For someone who loves travel like me, this is absolutely life changing.
