Argentina. New studies explain that everyday electronic devices increase sleep disorders. According to Daniel Vigo, Conicet researcher in the Department of Teaching and Research of the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the Catholic University of Argentina, "We currently sleep, on average, two hours less than 50 years ago."
This is why GE developed Align, a new LED technology that helps maintain natural sleep cycles. In its two versions, AM and PM, this new technology combines the bluish tones in the lighting to maintain the natural rhythms of sleep. While the GE Align AM bulb concentrates bluish light helping to suppress melatonin levels, the GE Align PM bulb does not disturb the production of this gland.
Although this advanced technology is not yet available in Latin America, GE offers as an alternative for the countries of the region the new A60 and A67 LED lamps in warm and cold colors, which adapt to the rhythms of sleep. These products combine energy savings with the versatility of applications.
Levels of melatonin, the sleep hormone, follow a daily rhythm, tending to drop drastically in the morning, as people get up, and rising at night causing sleep. However, these levels are affected by the lights to which we are exposed daily, especially those that reflect bluish colors. The GE researchers found that warm-colored lighting does not suppress the production of this hormone. In that sense, they created the A60 and A67 LED lamps that help the body maintain natural rhythms.
The LED technology developed by the company goes beyond lighting, creating intelligent environments that adapt to the natural cycles of each person in order to positively impact everyday life.
