Lumos Tech Partners with Connecticut Sun for 2023 WNBA Season
Sleep technology company Lumos Tech has joined with the Connecticut Sun basketball team in a strategic partnership to shed some light on sleep wellness in the sports industry. LumosTech partnered with the Connecticut Sun to provide sleep solutions and wellness to their coaching and support staff with its Lumos Smart Sleep Mask.
Based on Stanford research and backed by NASA, the Lumos Smart Sleep Mask offers personalized, patented low-intensity light therapy to users for the purpose of managing internal circadian rhythms. Also known as the body’s internal clock, circadian rhythms regulate a variety of bodily functions, including the sleep cycle. These personalized light therapy programs are based on users’ individual needs when it comes to their sleep cycle. The mask is adept at alleviating the effects of jet lag when crossing time zones, a problem that comes along with traveling alongside a professional sports team.
“Our partnership with the Connecticut Sun provides an exciting opportunity to showcase the potential of the Lumos Sleep System in a high-performance environment,” said Dr. Biquan Luo, Founder and CEO of LumosTech in a press release. “We are proud to contribute to the Sun’s commitment to team health and performance, and look forward to seeing the positive impact our sleep technologies can have during the 2023 season.”
The Lumos Smart Sleep Mask is available for $298.
