illumy Smart Sleep Mask Product Review

 

The illumy smart sleep mask is a lightweight smart sleep mask that blocks out unwanted light and provides its own light to trigger your body’s natural responses. Blue tones wake you gently and effectively in the morning before your chosen alarm time, and red-toned light helps you fall asleep at night. These are the same light cues used by NASA to regulate sleep on the space station.

When I unboxed the illumy smart sleep mask I immediately plugged it into my PC and while it was charging I downloaded the Sound Oasis App. Within the app you can set up alarm time, alarm chime, sunrise and sunset preferences plus chose to put it in sleep enhancement mode.

After setting up my sleep preferences I turned on the mask and synced it with my iPhone by using the app. When you first turn on the illumy smart sleep mask there will be a red light indicating it’s turned on. Since I already set up an alarm time and settings the hue inside the mask is similar to a sunset. After I put the mask on the lights inside the mask gradually dimmed and I was ready for my power nap!

For a 20 minute power nap:

  • Set the illumy alarm time 30 minutes later than the current time
  • Choose a 20 minute sunrise
  • Set the sunset to “off”
  • Enable or disable the alarm chime
  • Sync illumy with the App
  • Press the sleep button
  • Lay back and relax

The illumy smart sleep mask will slowly wake you up after your nap with a bright blue energizing light.
