Outside it’s pitch-black, leaving your body without a natural wake-up cue.“

Closing the hardware gap in chronobiology

Marian - founder of Zeitgeber

The founder story

Even with an otherwise healthy lifestyle, mornings were a daily struggle for me. Chronobiological research has been clear for decades: light is the crucial synchronizer for our internal clock. Yet, there was no hardware on the market capable of bringing these clinical standards uncompromisingly to my bedside.


That was the starting point for Zeitgeber. I dove deep into chronobiology, made it the focus of my master’s thesis (Medical Informatics, TU Wien), and began developing my own prototypes. To me, one thing was clear: solving morning fatigue at its source didn't require another conventional “wake-up light”, it demanded true biological dawn simulation.


Together with leading scientists across chronobiology, psychology, and light therapy, we closed precisely this hardware gap. Zeitgeber unites decades of cutting-edge research in a single high-performance device.

The market lacked a proper implementation of a dawn simulator. Zeitgeber is the one device I recommend from a scientific perspective.
