Dr. Nailin Yao, a former Yale postdoctoral fellow in psychiatry, has launched Panbrain Lume, an intranasal near-infrared (NIR) photobiomodulation device designed to improve sleep quality. The device uses an 8-minute nightly routine and is designed to help users fall asleep faster and increase deep sleep duration. Panbrain Lume is now available on Kickstarter.
From the Ivy League to Your Nightstand: The Science of Light
Panbrain Lume uses near-infrared light, a portion of the spectrum found in sunlight. Eastern practices such as moxibustion and Shai Bei have long used warmth and light to support well-being.
Modern science now validates this ancient intuition. The mechanism is rooted in our cells’ powerplants: the mitochondria.
“Think of Lume as targeted, digital sunshine for your brain,” explains Dr. Yao. “Just as the ancient practice of ‘Shai Bei’ uses sunlight to boost ‘Yang Qi’ and invigorate the body, the near-infrared light from Lume directly energizes the mitochondria in your brain cells. This enhances cellular energy production (ATP), reduces inflammation, and promotes the brain’s natural healing and repair processes – which is precisely what happens during deep, restorative sleep.”
The 8-Minute Secret to Deeper Sleep
Lume delivers near-infrared light through the nasal cavity, where blood vessels provide a direct route to brain regions involved in sleep regulation. This targeted approach is designed to help the brain prepare for sleep.
- Fall Asleep Faster: Calms the nervous system and helps users fall asleep more quickly.
- Increase Deep Sleep: Supports the brain’s ability to enter and maintain deep sleep, which is important for memory, recovery, and hormone balance.
- Wake Up Refreshed: Users report improved alertness and energy in the morning.
A Trusted Solution for a Sleepless World
Lume is based on peer-reviewed photobiomodulation research and developed by a founder with a strong scientific background.
“We are not selling magic; we are selling accessible, proven science,” Dr. Yao states. “For too long, the West has viewed Eastern concepts like ‘Qi’ as mystical. Now, we can measure their effects. Enhancing mitochondrial function is the measurable, scientific equivalent of ‘boosting your Yang energy.’ This is the future of wellness: a synergy of the best from both worlds to solve fundamental human problems.”
Secure Your Pledge, Reclaim Your Sleep
Lume is available on Kickstarter with early-bird pricing starting at $330 and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
