What Zen Mode does
A time window, chosen by you, during which notifications go quiet — not protection. In the background, Egidio keeps filtering your calls, texts, and messaging apps. Come morning, everything picks back up, without you having to think about it.
Silence isn't just a comfort
Nighttime notifications fragment sleep. Repeated exposure to alerts during the night disrupts sleep continuity, a factor documented by research on screen-related sleep disorders. National Sleep Foundation / American Academy of Sleep Medicine — recommendations on screen use before bedtime.
Blue light delays falling asleep. Evening exposure to the blue light emitted by screens delays the release of melatonin, the hormone that prepares the body for sleep. CDC — NIOSH Work Hours training, "The Color of Light Affects Circadian Rhythms."
Americans are sleeping less than they should. Roughly 3 in 10 US adults report sleeping less than 7 hours a night on average, below the minimum recommended by sleep medicine. CDC — Sleep Facts and Stats, National Health Interview Survey data, 2024.
Taking back control of who can reach you, and when — it's the same thing as protecting your sleep. Security and well-being aren't two separate subjects. It's one and the same gesture.
