LIFT is a web magazine for the adventurer in all of us (not necessarily the gym goer) -- successful men and women who work hard and play harder. Fitness isn’t about living at the gym, it’s about living at your peak, no matter what stands in your way. It’s about obeying the alarm clock, peeling yourself out of bed, and finding that extra hour most people think they’ll never have.

For the most part, I take the photos ... but from time to time I use Getty Images, iStockphoto (where I am currently a stock photographer) and Bauer-Griffin.

Dream On: It's time to Glo To Sleep

It’s midnight.

You can’t sleep. You’re tossing and turning. The person next to you is just lying there, sleeping like a baby.

No, like a brick. Will you ever get to sleep?

Welcome to the world of insomnia: Your baseline energy level, due to lack of sleep, is only slightly above that of a two-toed sloth. You’ve downgraded your definition of a good night’s sleep to a few hours. And, at this point, you’ll try anything.

May I suggest a recently imported product from Canada? The Glo to Sleep™. It was designed to create a powerful focusing effect so you can easily reach the relaxed alpha wave state. Simply . . . it will switch off your mind! So tuck yourself in, and let the magic take hold. Better sleep will reduced stress, anxiety, irritability, and depression. Improve energy, concentration, alertness, memory, judgment, problem-solving ability, decision-making ability, motivation, and creative thinking. Diminish physical pain and discomfort. Improved overall health and increase productivity, coordination, and effectiveness. Decreased reaction time and accidents. Did I cover everything? ... All this, and it’s all totally safe.

Hey, it can’t be worse than the Ambien/caffeine roller coaster you’re currently on.

Wanna give it a try: I've got one to give away for FREE (not bad, since it retails for $69.95). Just leave a comment telling me how much sleep you get (or don't get), and I'll do the rest.

    Of all the port antonio hotels one stands out - Great Huts. I've never stayed in a treehouse before. People were great too. This was the Jamaica vacation I was looking for.

The world of insomnia is one I visit often!
I travel for work, and have 16+ hour days often while on travel. You would think that working that much would allow me to just crash when I get back to my room. WRONG haha.
I generally fly out on Fridays and come back on Tuesdays and during that time I MAY get 8 hours of sleep. I would love to have a clear, fuzz free, mind again for a change, this could do trick!

This sounds like a pretty slick product. On some level, I'd like to know how it works, but I'm also not so sure I can be overly cautious about that sort of thing anymore. I've averaged between three and five hours of sleep a night for the past few years, with one "crash day" every couple of weeks. I've gotten to the point that I can tolerate it, I suppose, but it still feels a little on the hollow side. I'd like to go back to living, and not just going through the motions day in and day out.

I am going to start this off by saying I HAVE KIDS that should be reason enough for giving one of these a shot, not only do I take care of my wife and two young ones but also my sister-in-laws kids. So when everything is said and done by the end of the night the little sleep I get is very important to me (and thats if nobody has any nightmares and or accidents) if your debating giving one of these things away throw one my way and me and the wife will definetly give you our honest opinion. -Garrett Brady

hi
im a pre-med college student and also a division I athlete. i have to wake up at 5:40am for morning rowing practice and often dont get to bet until about 12:30. after finally getting to bed, i usually cant fall asleep till about 1:30 leaving just a few hours of sleep before i have to start all over again. this product sounds amazing! my problem is that once i finish up whatever work i am doing, i cant turn my mind off and often spend an hour of so just laying in bed trying not to think about things i have to do the next day. my mind is usually racing with ideas and its so hard to just relax and go to sleep. i would really appreciate being able to give this product a try!
