Overview
- The routine packages progressive muscle relaxation, slowed breathing, visualization and a brief mental clearing to prepare for sleep.
- Sleep researchers report no large, rigorous studies supporting claims of falling asleep in two minutes, and typical adults take about 10–20 minutes to nod off.
- Its components align with evidence-based relaxation strategies used within cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, though it reflects only part of that therapy.
- Reported effectiveness often improves with consistent practice, with some accounts suggesting four to six weeks to master the steps.
- Specialists describe it as low-risk to try within good sleep hygiene and recommend medical evaluation for ongoing sleep difficulties or suspected disorders.
