Pocket Sky works just like the sun: It uses soft blue light to suppress the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone. This is the most natural way for enhancing your wakefulness, performance and well-being in only 20 minutes a day.

What ist the advantage over a mobile phone screen? Its also a high peak of blue waves and everybody is using his phone, more than twenty minutes a day?

@mario_arh Hi Mario, thanks for your very good question! Yes, a mobile screen also emits blue light. So you could have an effect. But only in theory: The output of LED-sceens is ten times lower than that of Pocket Sky. It therefore takes much longer to MAYBE achieve SOME photo-biological effect. Also, screens vary in size and, very important, distance to your eyes! So you cannot predict how much blue actually reaches your retina. Since we have calculated and tested Pocket Sky thoroughly, it's your 100% safer bet if you want to activate yourself with light. Best wishes from Vienna, Harald

@_jacksmith Hi there! There are several differences between the Luminette and Pocket Sky. Let me just point out the four that seem most important to us: 1) Design: That is a matter of taste, of course. As we developed Pocket Sky really focused a lot on simplicity and beauty, making our product wearable anytime and anywhere. 2) Light intensity: Pocket Sky only has one level of intensity, which is 500 LUX. Since we reduced our LEDs to emit bioactive blue light, this is enough to achieve the activating and mood-improving effect. 3) Mobility: Pocket Sky charges wirelessly in its case. You only have to charge the case every 14 days. Also, the case is smaller than a smartphone and weighs only 90 grams. 4) Usability: Pocket Sky activates itself when you take it out of its case and turns off automatically after 20 minutes. That way you don't need to keep track of usage with your watch or an app. I hope I could help you with my answers! Have a bright day, Mark

@leemubb oh wow, so Pocket sky is only 500 lux vs up to 10,000 LUX with Luminette - doesn't that mean that your's is way less powerful?

@_jacksmith Hey, this is Harry from Pocket Sky. No, sorry, there's a misunderstanding there: Luminette write that they have "the same results as a 10.000 LUX-lamp". The same goes for Pocket Sky! Both products work with much less LUX, which is made possible by extracting the blue light frequency of daylight. Does that answer your question? :)

@hans_jorg_hummer @krisz_o Hi Krisztina! This is Mark. To be on the safe side you should not wear it 2 hours before going to sleep.

@hans_jorg_hummer @leemubb and does it have some kind of interaction with other stimulants, like caffeine? Would you recommend not to drink coffee for example, while using pocket sky?

@krisz_o Hi Krisztina, there are no interactions. There is absolutely no problem with drinking coffee or other stimulating drinks like black tea or even energy drinks while using Pocket Sky. But if you like, of course you can of course substitute coffee and other stimulant with Pocket Sky! :)

Cool gadget! Just pre-ordered mine. Always struggle with the jetlag after long flights! How long do I have to use it to see an effect?

@bizarrochris Hi Christopher, congrats on our newly acquired Pocket Sky! ;) Pocket Sky is activated when you remove it from its case and turns off automatically after 20 minutes. After that you will notice an effect! Depending on your organism, the effect will last for about 2-4 hours but that very much depends on what kind of person you are. We recommend that you use Pocket Sky once in the morning and once in the afternoon (if needed). Up to three times per day is our recommended maximum. Have a good and happy day, Harald from the Pocket Sky team
