Q: What do the lights in Glo to SleepTM do?
The gentle lights (we call the Points of Glo) give you something to focus on or gaze up at, so your brain is distracted and can relax as you concentrate on the lights and breathing, rather than the worries of the day, what needs to get done the next day, etc. This meditative principle is natural and successfully used everyday by millions of yoga and mediation enthusiasts.

Q: Can you give me examples of people that have used Glo to Sleep mask?
Yes! Please refer to the testimonial section for actual customer comments. Here is one comment from movie and TV star Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters, The Crow, Oz). "I'm speechless. For the first time in nearly 20 years, I've been able to sleep through the night. I occasionally awaken, but only for a brief few minutes, compared to my usual 2-3 hours of tossing and turning trying to get back to sleep. What's even more amazing, I haven't had to get up to use the bathroom at night. I've been telling friends and family, so I expect you'll be getting e-mails and calls. My wife wants to get one of her own and I told her I would e-mail you and ask for one for her. But this e-mail is to say thank you. With all the reports coming out about sleep deprivation, I believe "Glo to Sleep" is a life saver. If I can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to ask."
Q: Do I have to stare up at the Points of Glo to experience the full effect of Glo to Sleep mask?
No, but it is best to gaze naturally at the Points of Glo, allowing your eyes to move up and down the four rows of lights. It is O.K. to blink. The simple act of "looking up" at the Points of Glo relaxes the brain - this is a commonly followed element of meditation.

Q: My eyes tend to be sensitive, and I'm concerned that the lights might hurt my eyes or be too bright.
Glo to Sleep's Points of Glo are not bright enough to keep you awake – they only emit the light that they absorb from a light bulb or the sun. The brightness of the Points of Glo will automatically fade over several minutes.
Q: Can Glo to Sleep's Points of Glo interfere with my sleep?
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). Glo to Sleep therapy mask was designed to emit only a fraction of this amount, so it will not interfere with melatonin production. Glo to Sleep mask 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. (*measured at 19mm, distance from the eye pupil to the plane of the bars of glo.)

Q: If I awaken during the night, do I have to recharge the Glo to Sleep mask?
The photoluminescent bars (Points of Glo) will lose most of their brightness over a period of several minutes. Some dim light may exist for hours and it may be enough to gaze at.
Q: Can I adjust the Glo to Sleep mask to properly fit my face?
Yes. Glo to Sleep therapy mask has an adjustable Velcro® strap and supersoft hypoallergenic foam that allows you to fit the Glo to Sleep mask to your face so it blocks out all external light, yet it is comfortable to wear.
