Our Story
In a world dominated by indoor living and artificial light, we’ve become disconnected from the natural rhythms that have guided human health for hundreds of thousands of years. The consequences are clear: despite spending more money on healthcare than ever before, we are sicker, more fatigued, and increasingly disconnected from our full potential. We believe this health crisis stems from an overlooked issue—the health of our cells and mitochondria, the very engines of our bodies.
Sonder exists to empower people to reclaim their health by addressing these underlying issues. We understand that every individual has a unique and complex story, and our mission is to help you become the best version of yourself. Central to this is sleep—the cornerstone of health and recovery. By harnessing the science of light, our lenses are designed to protect your body from the harmful effects of artificial light, helping you sleep better, recover faster, and live a healthier life. Sonder is more than a brand; it is part of a movement to redefine what it means to take care of ourselves in a modern world.
Sonder was born out of a simple but powerful realization: health is the foundation for everything we do. Founded by professional athletes striving to maximize their potential, we uncovered a profound truth—light isn’t just something we see; it’s a nutrient that profoundly shapes how our bodies function at the most fundamental level. This discovery led us on a journey to understand the science behind light and its impact on sleep, energy, diseases and overall well-being.
