Lose and Snooze Weight Loss Product--- does it really work or is it
one of those schams? how long has it been in use? any consumer related blogs?

Some of these products can work but nothing is as safe or long lasting
as sticking to a sensible food plan and regular exercise both aerobic
and strength training.

I do not know about this particular product.  However, there are
boatloads very similar.  Basically, they help you achieve weight loss
by pumping your system full of stimulant(s).  Some use caffiene,
ephedra, evodiamine, etc.  Stimulants help keep your metabolism high
and they also act as an appetite suppressant (the anogenic effect i
believe).

However if these products are not used in conjunction with a lower
calorie diet, it will be all for not.  These can help you achieve the
weight loss you desire, but do not rely on them to do it for you. 
There is no replacement for diet, cardio, and strength training.

This doctor questions the theory:

It is worth mentioning that getting less sleep is not necessarily the
cause of obesity; it could be the other way around:  that people who
sleep more do so because they generally lead more active and healthy
lives and don't get fat for that reason.

When I read this on the above site, I know there is something suspicious:
"Ladies, you need not worry about building bulging muscles with Lose
And Snooze! Your body will add lean muscle naturally, in the places
you have lost muscle cells since you were a young woman."

Ditto for this one:
"When you drink just one tablespoon of this tasty liquid before going
to sleep, your body will become turbo charged and start to repair,
preserve and build lean muscle, as well as help balance out your
metabolism so that it is operating the way that it should be."
