Cure Insomnia With – a Shirt?
The National Sleep Foundation is celebrating its annual Sleep Awareness Week March 6th through March 13th, to raise awareness for the health benefits of sleep and its importance to safety and productivity.
As most people know, I “suffer” from chronic insomnia. It’s an issue I’ve had since I was a child, and am constantly seeking solutions for. I’ve tried a number of remedies; herbal, medicinal, prescription, etc. All of these worked for a period of time (except the prescription one – that’s for another story), but eventually my body gets used to them. I’m a functional insomniac, though – so I can stay awake for weeks before I finally “crash.”
When ActiveEdge contacted me about trying their new activewear – I couldn’t pass up a potential opportunity for sleep. If there is any possible (non-prescription) way to cure insomnia, I want in.
**Note: This is not a paid advertisement. I enjoy sharing my honest feedback, and got this shirt in exchange for my thoughts. **
I know you’re wondering – how does Active Edge work?
According to the official website, “Active Edge™ is the first technology capable of infusing and embedding electromagnetic frequencies into fabrics and other materials. Our technology has been tested at the University of Florida Health Shands Hospital, the United States Department of Defense labs, several medical professionals and in several independent labs.”
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
When you wear an Active Edge™ bracelet or necklace, it has been shown to help the human body perform at a more optimal level. When wearing the product, most people should notice one or many of the following benefits: increased flexibility, range of motion, strength, endurance, and recovery. Many people also experience reduced inflammation in joints, reduction in pain, improved breathing, and enhanced sleep.
The left image shows a person’s arm before wearing Active Edge™. The right image shows a person’s arm 20 minutes after wearing Active Edge™. You can see the blood flow has cooled the areas in white and red which is helping to reduce inflammation.
ARE THERE ANY NEGATIVE EFFECTS? IS IT SAFE?
The results of the clinical trials show ZERO negative side effects. In addition, Bureau Veritas, a worldwide accepted testing lab, has verified by standard test panel (6509)280-0040, that all standards and consumer protection regulations are passed. Out technology contains no toxins, allergens or harmful properties and is non-microbial. All tests comply with US and international testing regulations.
WHO IS USING PRODUCTS WITH THIS TECHNOLOGY?
There are already thousands of people using this technology: everyone from military personnel, pro-athletes, doctors, senior citizen’s and general everyday people looking for an edge to help them perform better.

Night One:
So, I slipped into my Active Edge tee last night, watched a little tv – and I have no idea what happened next.
I woke up, and my alarm was going off.
No, seriously.
I did my usual bedtime rituals prior to laying down, and turned on the tv to catch a show I’ve missed (and hopefully doze off towards the end). Well, I caught the opening credits and I draw a blank after.
Night Two:
Of course, I thought this was a fluke. Perhaps I was exceptionally tired and passed out. I decided to wear my Active Edge shirt again the following night…
I’m not kidding. I put on the same show – same episode and again, I blacked out. It wasn’t like I dozed off at a certain point that I can recall. I really don’t remember anything.
Night Three:
I tried a third night, for good measure. I felt like the answer to my sleep issue couldn’t be so simple. I’m starting to feel real redundant now. I did a warm oil cleanse on my face to relax, and didn’t even bother with the tv…
I think you know what happened next.
I must say, the shirt quality is amazing. It’s pillow soft, but strong material. I have other shirts that feel this way, though – so I doubt that it’s the feel the catalyst for this sudden onset of sleep. I wake up feeling like I want more sleep, which is unusual for me.
I can’t say for sure that the electromagnetic energy is causing the sleep I have experienced. In the same breath, I can’t say it isn’t. What I will say is, I am absolutely willing to buy another shirt and alternate each week. I have been pleasantly surprised this week by how this shirt has made me feel. I’m almost afraid to wash it!
I love you all so much – that ActiveEdge has provided me another shirt to give away! All you have to do is:

So, what do you think? Is it possible this shirt can help cure insomnia?

I’ve been enjoying the benefits of caffeine without spilling coffee on myself – thanks to IlMorso bars. They come on different coffee blend flavors and tea, too!
