GIVEAWAY: Share Your Sleep Gripe And Win A LARK Un-Alarm Clock

He snores! She hogs the covers! He keeps the TV on all night! She hits snooze all morning long!

Sound familiar? No matter how much you love snuggling up to your sweetie, it's not always easy to get good, quality sleep -- you know, the kind where you slumber for seven to nine hours, uninterrupted, and wake up actually feeling rested -- when you're sharing a bed. That's part of the reason why nearly a quarter of U.S. adults who are married or living with someone sleep in separate beds, according to the National Sleep Foundation.

Here at Healthy Living, we feel your pain. We've got a Cuddler and a Night Owl among our ranks who regularly find themselves fighting battles at bedtime. That's why we're pleased to announce a sleep- and relationship-saving giveaway, just in time for Valentine's Day. You have five (yes, five!) chances to win this giveaway. Five lucky individuals will win a LARK silent alarm clock -- retailed at $99.

Each LARK unit includes a wireless bluetooth wristband silent alarm clock and sleep sensor, as well as a cradle to charge both the wristband and your phone, plus one 7-day sleep assessment. The LARK unit can be easily synched up with your iPod, iPhone or iPad.

My biggest complaint is being worken up because my "
snoring" is "keeping her awake."

My boyfriend talks in his sleep at least once a week. It's usually semi work-related. He's a police officer and sometimes it gets interesting.

When my wonder wife rolls over she takes all the covers with her.
Such a small complaint, I'm so fortunate.

My only complaint is that my husband is a night owl and can totally screw up my sleep schedule but when we are actually in bed he's a perfect angel. He doesn't snore, he barely moves, he lets me hog the bed, doesn't mind that I snore and demand lots of cuddles, he's so warm and snuggly. It's one of the best parts of my day.

I love my girlfriend... She's a petite little pixie but when she falls asleep the MEGA HOT LOUD giant under-the-covers farts start..... I thought about recording them but she'd be pretty embarrassed......maybe one day for revenge.

My biggest complaint is that he likes to sleep with the fan on every night. I don't mind the sound, but the bursts of wind blow my hairs and they tickle my face.

My biggest complaint is they hog the bed and end up sleeping in the middle of the bed while I'm squished to the edge trying not to fall off!

I'm married to a chronic snorer who won't let me sleep in another room. He finally gets a CPAP and I start menopause; for anyone who is in menopause you know if you can get to sleep you can't stay asleep!!!

OMG my dog and cat insist on jumping on the bed when im asleep and wont notice but I do because they jump right on me . Then wake up repeatly through the night because they seem to like to pin me between them so I cant move. Or my cat will knead on my chest lol so the last thing I wana hear is a loud alarm going off. The LARK would be perfect for me!

The worst part of sharing a bed with a man- he is constantly passing gas. Try to get a good nights sleep with a constant trumpeting!

As a courtesy to my fiance, I would like to ask for a LARK for myself. I wake up at 5:00 every morning to leave for work on time, but she doesn't need to wake up until 7:30-8:00; we all know those two hours can be crucial. I wake her every morning when I get out of bed, and she always has trouble falling back asleep. I would very much appreciate a LARK to give her the sleep she needs to have a great day. Thanks so much!

Snoring. My husband snores when he sleeps on his back and constantly wakes me up. I have to sleep with earplugs.

I've worked at a major Las Vegas hotel for more than 21 years, with more than 100 letters of commendation in my file. After losing our only Grandchild to cancer when he was only 9 years old, I was also diagnosed with my own cancers, of my throat, then kidney, on two consecutive Christmases. Now back to work, my immediate supervisor was recently arrested and charged with felony burglary for stealing our guest's valuables from their luggage. Not willing to replace him, my employer now requires me to cover his shift as well as my own, working every shift there is, plus another, and be awake 24 hours, around the clock each and every week. I must awaken at 4:15 AM on Fridays and Saturdays, and then must work late, not getting to sleep until 4AM on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. On Thursdays, I must be asleep by 8PM in order to begin the cycle again. Despite repeated pleas to my Department Manager and Caesar's Entertainment's H.R. staff, and submitting written letters from 2 of my doctors explaining the toll this takes on the health of a two-time cancer patient, the Caesar's Entertainment corporation maintains that their current financial state is so utterly fragile that they absolutely cannot afford to replace the single arrested manager despite any risk this might pose to my Life. I could SO use a dependable alarm clock.
Sincere thanks for your consideration,
