Description
AYOpro works with the goAYO app to provide three customizable programs to help the user to beat jetlag, sleep better and boost their energy. AYOpro also comes with a premium charging case to allow users to charge on the go. AYOpro’s light levels and user needs are customised through the goAYO app to suit the user’s individual requirements.
The goAYO app programs include:
- The Energy Program increases energy to revitalize after a night of insufficient sleep or after lunch.
- The Sleep Program helps users phase-shift the circadian rhythm to promote improved sleep quality
- The Travel Program was designed to specifically treat jetlag and improve sleep quality by providing optimal duration of light therapy
The AYOpro was recently featured in Body+Soul as part of a travel essentials article.

How does AYOpro differ from AYOlite?
AYOlite was developed as a manual version of AYOpro that is controlled by the user rather than the goAYO app. The manual provides multiple usage recommendations based on the the user’s desired outcomes such as improving sleep quality, beating jetlag or adjusting their sleep cycle. While both models come with a hard shell protective travel case, the AYOpro offers the added benefit of charging on the go.
Can it be worn with prescription glasses?
Yes, AYOlite is designed to be able to be used with the most common prescription glasses’ frames. The AYOlite wearable has a flexible nosepiece, which can be adjusted to allow an easier positioning of both the prescription glasses and the wearable. By bending the nosepiece horizontally, AYOlite becomes more like a frame, which can be put on top of the prescription glasses. For an optimal experience and whenever possible, we recommend using AYOlite glasses without prescription glasses as the glasses can interfere with the light diffusion of AYOlite glasses. If you use prescription glasses with a blue-light blocking filter, ensure that the filter is not blocking blue-turquoise light of 470 nm of wavelength since the light from AYOlite glasses will not be efficient.
How does this work? Is it worn in the mornings only?
Generally, the recommended usage is one or two 20-min sessions in the morning upon waking however, this is determined by the program selected in the app.
What is Light Therapy?
Light therapy (sometimes called phototherapy or bright light therapy) is the use of light to treat a broad range of health and medical conditions. Light therapy glasses provide the benefits of light therapy with the convenience of a portable device instead of being anchored in a chair. The AYO glasses can be worn while you get dressed, have breakfast, work out or even have an early morning conference call.
Sleep/circadian problems you can treat with light therapy
Circadian rhythm is the biological clock that regulates several physiological functions of the body, including the sleep-wake cycle, immunity, hormone secretion and temperature.
The benefits of light therapy’s lends itself to a range of conditions broadly concerned with circadian health. Here’s a quick rundown:
Insomnia
Difficulty falling asleep at night can occur for numerous reasons. If you’ve been diagnosed with chronic insomnia you should seek qualified medical advice and appropriate treatment like CBTi.
Difficulty waking up
Waking up, especially when it’s still dark outside, can be difficult to cope with if you’re not a natural early riser. Using AYO bright light in the morning helps your body adapt to being awake.
Jetlag
Travelling across time zones causes your sleep/wake schedules to be completely out of whack with your body clock. Whether it’s for work, or even a leisure break, you want to feel energised and at your best when you reach your destination.
Shiftwork
Shift workers, especially nightshift workers face enormous challenges in adapting their body clock to fit work schedules that often change, rotate and turn day into night.
Energy boost
If you work in a dimly lit environment or you’re generally tired during the day, light therapy glasses are an ideal, safe way to combat the afternoon slump because they simulate the natural invigorating effects of being in bright sunlight.
