INTRODUCTION
The Glo to Sleep is a revolutionary new idea that builds on ancient wisdom, to clear the mind, deeply relax the body, and lead to sleep.
For thousands of years, enlightened ones have told us to close our eyes , look up and achieve a calm state of mind. Now, open your eyes to a revolutionary concept: the Glo to Sleep. By raising the eyes and holding them on a focal point of blue light, an individual without any previous training, practice or concentrated effort, can instantly stop repetitive and worrying thoughts and quickly achieve a deeply relaxed state that leads to sleep. The Glo to Sleep works to slow the frequency of the brains electrical activity, an objective shared with meditation and self-hypnosis.
SLEEP STAGES
When an individual first lies down and begins to fall asleep, the body enters, what sleep experts call, Stage 1 sleep. The individual is still very close to being awake, but the brain begins to work more slowly. The body relaxes, and the closed eyes start to roll around. After several minutes, the individual sinks a little deeper, into Stage 2 sleep. Once the body and mind really relax and the individual falls deeply asleep, they enter Stage 3. The heart slows down, and breathing becomes more slow. Finally, the individual sinks into the deepest sleep of all - Stage 4.
USING THE GLO TO SLEEP
When using the Glo to Sleep, the objective is no longer trying to fall asleep. Simply raise the eyes, hold the gaze on a blue point of glo and breathe deeply. Thoughts slow and the mind clears. The body relaxes and arms and legs feel heavy. The eyelids begin to feel heavy as the individual continues to gaze at the Point of Glo. What happens next is what many Glo to Sleep users find so amazing: the transition from consciously looking up at the blue Points of Glo to the first stage of sleep often seems instantaneous. At no time is the user thinking "they must get to sleep". The Glo to Sleep rapidly slows the brain's activity level to a deep relaxed state. Looking up at the blue Points of Glo will be the last thing the user remembers upon awakening.
Both subjective and objective examinations agree, meditation, self-hypnosis and the Silva Alpha technique, all demonstrate that raising the eyes and finding a focal point can aid in relaxation by lowering brain-wave frequencies.
The Glo to Sleep shares fundamental mechanisms, in regards to the interconnecting physiology of the brain and eyes, with meditation, self-hypnosis and the Silva Alpha technique.
If an individual is looking for a resolution to their sleeping problems, but does not have the time or inclination to learn and practice relaxation therapies, the Glo to Sleep is an ideal solution. The Glo to Sleep will allow the individual, whether they have chronic insomnia or struggle to get to sleep a few nights a month, to relax quickly, clear their mind and get to sleep naturally.
How it works:
If you are lying in bed awake - thinking or worrying - your brain is generating faster beta waves. 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.
For centuries, meditation has been widely used, in many cultures, to achieve a state in which no thoughts come in to mind.
The technique used to achieve this, is to focus the attention, looking upwards to a point between the eyebrows - commonly know as the third eye or spiritual eye.
Scientists now understand that this act of looking up influences brain wave patterns.
Research has proven that by raising the eyes - with meditative training, practise and concentration - the relaxed alpha wave state can be reached.
Here is how . . .
-
The brain and eyes form a subconscious monitoring that is working
when we are awake and alert. - This monitoring system performs an important orienting task.
- If the eyes roll up, the brain stops receiving orienting information, and an individual’s level of awareness is altered.
Problem: Trying to slow brain activity, to the alpha wave state wiith meditation, takes practise and concentration, and is difficult to do when your mind is racing and you need to sleep.
Solution: The Glo to Sleep was designed to create a powerful focusing effect so you can easily reach the relaxed alpha wave state. Simply . . . turn your mind off!

Sleep is not just down-time, it is integral to your physical and mental health. Common advice for non-sleepers can be as damaging as not sleeping at all. Advice such as get out of bed and read, is no longer a safe alternative to not sleeping.
Exposure to light in the middle of your sleep time can suppress melatonin production - your protection against disease.
- Melatonin levels can be suppressed by as little as 1.3 lux of light (a book light emits 4-10 lux, a candle emits about 1 lux).
- The Glo to Sleep was designed to emit only a fraction of this amount, so it will not interfere with melatonin production.
- The Glo to Sleep emits only 0.16 lux* at its maximum brightness and less than 0.01 lux* of pale white light in the dimmer middle-of-the-night mode - less than the light from a quarter moon.

If you wake in the middle of the night, there is no need to turn on a light, The Glo to Sleep holds a pale white glow for hours, perfect for more light sensitive nightime eyes and enough glow to get you back to sleep.
Lie sleepless in the dark, turn on a light and read, get up and do something else? No. Put on your Glo to Sleep, get right back to sleep.
