Great sleep, greater energy with the right light!

In today’s modern world we are chronically exposed to artificial light day and night. This disrupts the body’s wake/sleep cycle and confuses the brain about the time of the day.

Night Time exposure to artificial light destroys melatonin production, the sleep hormone and over stimulates cortisol, the stress hormones. This inhibits deep repair and rejuvenation, resulting in insomnia and restless sleep, depression and anxiety, eye strain, fatigue, headaches and migraines.

We are dedicated to providing our customers with holistic eco-friendly solutions to transform their sleep and energy.

Our goal is to raise awareness about light and health while emphasizing the harmful effects of artificial light on an emotional, mental and physical level.

We, as a modern society live in perpetual light with not enough rejuvenating darkness to rest fully.

With VivaRays, our customers are not only providing their body with enough high-quality sleep every night, but are also facilitating how their body adapts to the highly lit modern way of living, while ensuring optimized health and balanced energy throughout the day.

With the help of the world-leading experts in optics, light science and circadian rhythm research. Vivarays is the only company that has put together a valuable kit consisting of 3 different lens technologies, providing full protection all day long. After testing all the glasses on the market, we found out that many glasses have been created to block only a small portion of blue light, without any testing, and none of them took in consideration all the other factors that affect a healthy rhythm, such as green light, clinically tested dyes, and the proper light transmittance through the lenses.

Proudly collaborating with the most carbon-neutral lens manufacturing facility in North America, operating from the beautiful mountains of Vernon, British Columbia, the lenses are made locally using geothermal and solar energy.
“With every lens we coat, we heat our house and building.”

Every frame comes from ethically sourced and responsibly managed forests, which are bound by the sustainable forestry management standards of the FSC certification.

Here are the descriptions of our lens technologies:
1- Our Sleeper’z (Red lenses)
Our highly advanced Sleeper’z have been clinically proven to act as a NATURAL SLEEP AID by blocking up to 550 nm of all the blue and green light coming from tech devices, TVs, fluorescent or LED lights, which have been shown to disrupt the sleep cycle via melatonin suppression, the sleep hormone.

They are to be worn 2 to 3 hours before bedtime to ensure proper melatonin secretion and great deep sleep!

2- Our Eve’z (Orange lenses)
While our Sleeper’z glasses will induce deep relaxation and sleepiness, our Eve’z block up to 520 nm and are designed to be worn at those times when you still want to socialize, maybe work or hangout with friends after the sunset especially during short winter days.

Unlike other orange glasses in the market, which block up to 495nm and provide partial protection, our Eve’z have been designed to filter all high frequency blue and green light ranging from 495-520 nm.

This technology came up after multiple experiments in an attempt to find the balance between protection and comfort, which is key to health and wellness.

3- Our DayGo’z (Yellow/amber lenses)
Being exposed to LED lights and digital devices all day leads to eye strain, fatigue, headaches and migraines, blurred, double vision and neck pain.

Digital devices and LED lights emit blue light ranging from approximately 430 nm to 500 nm with an intense peak point at ~ 455 nm.

Our advanced daytime lenses block up to 60% at 455nm, the exact percentage of wavelengths that is unbalanced in LED’s, which has been shown to be detrimental to your health.

Unlike other yellow glasses in the market, our glasses leave you enough blue light ranging from 470-495nm to keep you alert and energized and help your body clock stay aligned with the time of the day.

4- No-rays sleep mask
Our VivaRays masks are made of GOTs certified organic cotton and provide 100% blackout for deeper sleep, are conveniently adjustable for your preferable fit and have zero pressure on eyelids or lashes.

it is important to darken the room you sleep in as much as possible for optimal sleep.
People also love them for meditation or to simply relax and go inward!

5- VivaPlugs!
Our Vivarays earplugs are made from 100% natural beeswax. They are flexible, malleable and super comfortable for the ear. They drown out all noise for a perfect night sleep!
