Avoid Travel-Zombie Syndrome with the Travel Halo

Not getting enough sleep is actually no laughing matter: it can be hazardous to your health and safety. Take it from a travel pro: you want to try to get sleep whenever you're riding or flying somewhere. Yes, it's tempting to look out windows or read magazines or take photos, but you certainly can't take a good photo through a window. You need the precious down time for sleep.If you don't get the sleep you need while traveling -- and this has all happened to me -- you are vulnerable to every germ floating around. You aren't alert and can end up on the wrong train or bus. You can end up leaving gloves and hats behind. You can be vulnerable to thieves.Don't be a travel zombie! Let Travel Halo save you.The Travel Halo also turns into a eye shade, thus making it two travel comfort accessories in one. Three things make it an excellent eye shade. First, it sits lightly on your eyes and doesn't smoosh your eyes in. I have an old eye shade -- Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's style -- and its pressure makes my eyes swollen in the morning. Not cute. Second, you can easily flip the shade back, handy when the flight attendants are deciding if you're sleeping or hungry. Third, you will always have your head rest working!The Travel Halo is a soft, stretchy head piece that has cushions behind it, giving your head support without wearing a pillow around your neck. It's very small and really, you can discreetly fold it and fit it into a raincoat pocket or jeans jacket.It only weighs 2.5 ounces, so you can always keep it with you . . . to always be ready for impromptu voyages!View the list »
Avoid Travel-Zombie Syndrome with the Travel Halo

The folks at The Travel Halo describe "Travel-Zombie syndrome (TZS)" as a common condition brought on by long periods of travel in uncomfortable positions with no sleep. TZS can have detrimental effects on both business and personal relationships.

Ain't that the truth! I've tried to get full sleep and catnaps on planes, trains, boats and in vehicles. Often, the head rests -- if there are even any -- on these conveyances are not ergonomically designed. The head rest is usually too high or at a terrible angle.

The Travel Halo to the rescue!

This is a new type of product, different from the traditional travel neck pillow. It's made to wick moisture, like fine sportswear. I was very happy to have been given the opportunity to experience this product.
