Light, an essential element for our biological clock.

Our internal biological clock controls the body's cycles (which extend over 24 hours), which include the sleep-wake cycle. This alternation is essential for physical and mental balance and is normally synchronized with daylight. The red light of sunset is a natural signal that helps people fall asleep by secreting the sleep hormone melatonin. Conversely, its secretion is blocked when the body perceives the bluish light of day. The body then enters a state of wakefulness and prepares for physical and mental activity.

Various factors can disrupt sleep-wake phases, such as poor sleep hygiene, lack of light in winter, anxiety and stress, or screen use before bedtime. The result is difficulty falling asleep, waking up at night or even insomnia. According to various studies, almost every fifth person in Switzerland has problems falling asleep. The consequences of sleep deprivation are manifold: in addition to health impairments, it also leads to concentration difficulties, loss of energy, fatigue and can sometimes be linked to weight problems.

Aloha resynchronizes the biological rhythm of sleep by promoting faster falling asleep and a natural and gentle awakening. Thus, it improves the quality of sleep and provides greater well-being in everyday life. The device was developed in collaboration with the European Sleep Centre, with which Terraillon has been working for several years.
