Twilight

Are you having troubles to fall asleep? Are your kids hyperactive when playing with the tablet before bed time?
Are you using your smart phone or tablet in the late evening? Twilight may be a solution for you!

Recent research suggests that exposure to blue light before sleep may distort your natural (circadian) rhythm and cause inability to fall asleep.

The cause is the photoreceptor in your eyes, called Melanopsin. This receptor is sensitive to a narrow band of blue light in the 460-480nm range which may suppress Melatonin production - a hormone responsible for your healthy sleep-wake cycles.

In experimental scientific studies it has been shown an average person reading on a tablet or smart phone for a couple of hours before bed time may find their sleep delayed by about an hour.

The Twilight app makes your device screen adapt to the time of the day. It filters the blue spectrum on your phone or tablet after sunset and protects your eyes with a soft and pleasant red filter. The filter intensity is smoothly adjusted to the sun cycle based on your local sunset and sunrise times.

Please read the basics on circadian rhythm and the role of melatonin:

REVIEWS

“Faceworks is a life changer! Thank you!”
"I'm a life coach - I find your videos excellent; clear & easy to follow - all the exercises for the price of a pot of face cream!”

I've followed the exercise programme since January and am very pleased with the results already. I had been doing a VERY well-known American face exercise program for 10 years & I didn't think my face would improve that much but it has, so thank you very much!“

“I've just looked at my passport photo taken 3 years ago. I'm amazed at the changes in my face: my eyelids have lifted, my cheeks and lips look fuller, and my jowls are lessening' It makes so much sense we exercise our bodies so why not our faces - I feel so much better about myself”.
