the idea
Sometimes your mind wakes up before the rest of you. You remember something important, have an idea, think of something you need to do tomorrow, or simply cannot stop thinking.
afterlight / about
Nighttime should belong to you.
AfterLight is built for quieter nighttime rituals.
the afterlight approach
AfterLight creates simple tools for those moments. Keep a journal beside the bed. Use the red light pen to write. Capture the thought, then let it go.
why red light
Blue and cool light can signal daytime and wakefulness. Red light has a much gentler effect on the systems involved in sleep.
