Light Awake
A wakeup experience backed by science
Light Awake is a mobile app that gradually wakes you up using gentle light. No more being jolted out of sleep by jarring beeps or buzzes! Light Awake pulses light from your smartphone, which encourages your body to instinctively switch from slumber to alertness. You will rise in calming silence with a clear, refreshed mind. Light Awake is the healthy way to start your waking hours.
Everyone deserves to wake up feeling relaxed and energized. Light Awake helps you naturally and smoothly transition out of your sleep cycle. Currently compatible with iOS devices, this patented technology is especially helpful for:
Shift workers
People with hearing loss
Sleep partners with different schedules
Families with light sleepers or small children
Teenagers and college students
Roommates in close quarters
Light Awake is based on how the brain responds to light. Our body produces melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep, based on how much light it senses. It’s the same biological response that wakes up animals that are active during the day. Birds and dogs don’t need a piercing alarm and neither do humans!

About Light Awake
Dr. Kathy Hurst is on a mission to create the world’s most innovative alarm clock. As a doctor, she knows the frustration of waking up at odd hours to a blaring alarm. Backed by the latest research, she has found that noisy alarm clocks are harmful to our circadian rhythms. Her invention, Light Awake, harnesses the power of light to support our natural biology instead. Read more about her inspiration here.
