Frequently Asked Questions About the 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 probably the least effective.

When I put on the Glo to Sleep™ I can't see four distinct Points of Glo. What should I do be doing different?

You have the Glo to Sleep™ 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 find that I am blinking alot and my eyes feel dry. What should I do?

If you are blinking alot 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 Glo to Sleep™ 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.

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 Points of Glo will still have enough illumination to get you back to sleep. You could also try Tranquil Mind or Visualize, where the eyes are closed for a time.

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.
