Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I’m offering this review because I’ve spent over a $1,000 on different models of light emitting glasses so I’m familiar with the main three brands (Luminette, Pegasi, and AYO). I have Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder so I don’t know whether the glasses help with depression or SAD. I understand the mechanism behind these conditions is similar but I’m no doctor so take this with a grain of salt. Pros: Lumimette’s light is strong and I feel it more than Pegasi and AYO. You can set it to one of three levels, and I always go for the strongest because my sleep condition is pretty severe. It energizes me in the morning after about 10 minutes. There’s no way after that point I can go back to sleep because I’m fully awake. The glasses cause me to wake up earlier the next day, too. Luminette is different in that its light is white (though blue-enriched according to the ad) while AYO and Pegasi use blue and green light, respectively). The other two brands feel weaker to me. The price has fallen over the years so that’s nice. I believe I paid $300 for the first model. Cons: The older model was pretty clunky and the nose guard fell off eventually so I was not that thrilled with that product despite it being pretty darn effective. This newest version (Luminette 3), however, is smaller and fits more securely. But I just notice it on my face slightly more than AYO or Pegasi. I should point out that my AYO glasses broke within a year of purchase. These glasses, and all of the glasses, take quite a while before they affect my fall-asleep time. That can be very frustrating because I’m waking up earlier but not necessarily getting drowsy earlier at night. Eventually I do fall asleep earlier but it can take a while. So this is no magic bullet and you need to use it every day. A missed morning here or there is not a problem but you should plan on daily use. I’m extremely grateful for the product because it’s helped me so much, but you have to manage your expectations.
