 I've been having so much trouble falling asleep for so long,that i don't think anything will ever help.

You are experiencing 'sleep anxiety'. This seems to happen to almost everyone that has trouble sleeping. You are in the "bad sleep circle": you can't sleep, you worry that you won't be able to sleep, your worrying about not being able to sleep prevents you from not sleeping . . . and around and around it goes. The Glo to Sleep™ is going break that cycle, the first step in getting the sleep you need.

How long will it take before I start sleeping bette?
|
|
Many people find that from their very night using their Glo to Sleep™, they fall asleep more quickly and feel that they are sleeping deeper. For others, it can take a few nights before they see a noticeable difference. Our customers often tell us that the fourth night was a real turning point for them – after that fourth night, their sleeping problems started to dissipate. And what is consistent is that with every night you use your Glo to Sleep™, it will take you less and less time to fall asleep.
|
|
Am I going to have to wear the Glo to Sleep™ forever?
|
|
The Glo to Sleep™ is going to start helping you sleep better each and every night. In fact, you are going to lose the anxiety about falling asleep that you once experienced. Being rid of this anxiety means that you may not need your Glo to Sleep™ every night, perhaps you’ll only need it on the occasional nights when your mind starts racing and you think you might not be able to fall asleep. But most people find that they like using their Glo to Sleep™, '"their own private sleep space", so much, they keep using it every night.

|
Can I stop taking my sleeping pills once I start using my Glo to Sleep™?
|
|
We can tell you that many of our Glo to Sleep™ users have no longer needed their sleeping pills once they started to find relief with their Glo to Sleep™. However sleeping pills are prescription drugs and few doctors would recommend you stop taking the pills abruptly.

| Help with your Glo to Sleep™ |
|
To activate the Glo to Sleep™, the instructions say to hold it under a light source. What lights work the best?
|
|
|
Any reasonably bright light source will work. Brighter light sources, like sunlight or halogens will activate the Glo to Sleep faster. Be careful with hot light sources though, like halogens - keep the Glo to Sleep about 15 cm (6 inches) away to prevent any damage. Fluorescent lighting will work, but is less effective.
|
|
When I put on the Glo to Sleep™ I can't see four distinct Glo Bars. What should I do be doing different?
|
|
|
You have the mask on too tightly. The Glo to Sleep™ was designed so the Points of Glo are offset a certain distance from your eyes. Tighten the strap on the Glo to Sleep™ just enough so it seals out light (the foam shouldn't be crushed) and make sure it is aligned on your face.
|
|
I sleep on my side and the Points of Glo don’t line up correctly like they do when I am on my back.
|
|
|
The Glo to Sleep is tilted slightly on your face. Straighten the Glo to Sleep™ and the Points of Glo will align.
|
|
Should I wear my Glo to Sleep™ every time I sleep? |
|
|
If you have had sleeping difficulties for an extended period of time, months or years, you must use your Glo to Sleep™ every time you sleep to correct your sleep/wake cycle.
|
|
I find that I am blinking a lot and my eyes feel dry. What should I do? |
|
|
If you are blinking a lot and your eyes feel dry, the Points of Glo are probably too bright for your sensitive eyes. To correct this problem, activate your Glo to Sleep™ near a light source for a shorter time and the glow will be dimmer. Another solution is to leave your Glo to Sleep™, with the inside of the mask facing up, on your nightstand during the day. Then put it on, as is, when you go to bed. The Glo to Sleep™ will work even if the Points of Glo are weakly illuminated. Alternately, you can look at the dark areas between the Points of Glo , just keep looking up.
|
|
I've had a problem getting the sleep I need for a long time, will the Glo to Sleep ™ be effective for me right away? |
|
Often the initial degree of the Glo to Sleep™ effect depends on the length of time the user has had a sleeping problem. If you have only been sleep deprived for a short while, the Glo to Sleep™ effects can be immediate and strong. Those with sleeping difficulties that have lasted months or years may require a couple of weeks of use, to consistently feel the full effects of the Glo to Sleep™. To feel the "mind clearing" effect of the Glo to Sleep™: activate your Glo to Sleep™, put it on and look up as high as you can. While breathing deeply see if you can count backwards all the way from 60 to zero. (While looking up you can tilt your head back and relax your lower jaw to feel the effect even more intensely).

I can usually fall asleep pretty quickly, but I wake up in the night and then I can’t fall back asleep. When should I put on my Glo to Sleep™?
|
|
|
Even if you don’t have any trouble falling asleep when you go to bed, we recommend that you still charge the Points of Glo inside your sleep mask, before you go to bed, and use it to fall asleep. This will help you get used to the feeling of using your Glo to Sleep™. When you wake up in the middle of the night, just open your eyes and look up. The Points of Glo should still be charged enough that you find a Point to focus on. Breathe deeply and evenly, looking up with a relaxed gaze, and you should be back to sleep in no time at all.
|
|
When I wake up during my sleep and then put on the Glo to Sleep™, my eyes feel too sensitive to look at the light. What should I do? |
|
The Glo to Sleep™ will work even if the Points of Glo are weakly illuminated. Leave your Glo to Sleep™, inside up, in a lighted room. When you need it, the Glo to Sleep™ should have only a dim glow. Ideally, we recommend that you use your Glo to Sleep™ when you first go to sleep and if you waken during your sleep, the Glo Bars will still have enough illumination to get you back to sleep.
|
|
I have just started using the Glo to Sleep™ and sometimes I feel more effect than other times. What should I be doing different?
|
|
|
Look higher and breathe deeper. You are getting effect, so the potential is there to become a good sleeper. Part of using the Glo to Sleep™ is conditioning and if you have had a sleeping problem for a long while, the effects will intensify through repetitive use. Keep using the Glo to Sleep™ and you will find it becoming increasingly effective.
|
|
What is the best way to look at the Points of Glo? |
|
Look up as high as you can without raising your eyebrows and hold your eyes on the highest Point of Glo in view. Use a relaxed gaze, as if the a point of glo was off in the distance.
You are not sleeping because your mind is too active. This activity in your brain is electrical and can be detected as waves. If you are lying in bed awake - thinking or worrying - your brain is generating faster beta waves.
BRAIN WAVE STATES:
Just by reading this, billions of neurons are firing on and off in your brain while communicating the experience of consciousness. When each of these electrical firings is detected as a whole, a "wave" effect is observed. These cumulative electrical rhythms are referred to as "brain waves".
Brain waves occur at different frequencies, which is the number of times a wave repeats itself within a second.
|
Beta brain wave-state (14-30 Hz) 
|
Beta activity is "fast" activity. It has a frequency of 14 Hz and greater. The normal, awake, conscious activity of the brain is the Beta brain-wave state. It is the state when we are listening, thinking and processing information about the world around us.
Emotional sensations in the beta state include anger, worry, fear, anxiety, tension, and surprise.
|
Alpha brain-wave state (8-13 Hz) 
|
Alpha waves are those between 7.5 Hz and 13 Hz and will peak around 10 Hz. The alpha state is the beginning of relaxation. The graphs of the Alpha state show high frequency, low amplitude brain waves. In this state, the mind is relaxed but alert. It is a state of passive awareness, composure, and of physical and mental relaxation.
Emotional sensations in the alpha state include a sense of well-being, pleasure and tranquility. Alpha appears to bridge the conscious to the subconscious.
|
Theta brain-wave state (4-8 Hz)
|
Theta activity has a frequency of 3.5 to 7.5 Hz and is classed as "slow" activity. The Theta state is one of tranquility, creativity and very deep relaxation which reflects the state between wakefulness and sleep.
Emotional sensations experienced in Theta include restful alertness, uncertainty, daydreaming and deep tranquility. Theta waves are strong during internal focus, meditation, prayer, and spiritual awareness.
|
Delta brain wave state (0.05-4 Hz)
|
The lowest frequency of brain-wave activity is Delta - less than 4 Hz. Delta is the brain-wave state experienced in the deepest stages of sleep. It is a state of total unawareness, of unconsciousness.
There are no feelings in this state, hence no emotional sensations are associated with the Delta state.
|
When first going to bed, an individual would be in the Beta state. If reading for a few minutes before attempting sleep, they would drop to low Beta. Once the book is put down and the lights are turned off and they lie back to fall asleep, the brain-wave state will descend from Beta to Alpha, down to Theta and finally, and lastly, into the deep sleep of Delta.
In order to fall asleep you need to slow your brain activity down to the alpha wave state. In the alpha wave state, your mind and body are relaxed - the bridge between awake and asleep.
