While lying in bed, Ms. Kessler recommends taking a few deep breaths and then visualizing a house that you know, but that is not your own.

She said, “I use my grandmother’s old house. You visualize walking slowly to the house, noticing all the details of the exterior, going to the door and opening the door.

‘[Then] walking in, looking at the layout and then slowly going through each room noticing things in as much detail as possible.

“Make your way through each room and look at the art, the furniture, the layout.

“There’s something distracting your thinking; your mind is so busy that you fall asleep.”

Ms. Kessler, who has been working in the field for five years, says the practice is so effective that it doesn’t take long to stray.

She added, “I’ve literally never been upstairs to her house.”

According to the NIH, the hack could be welcome news for the more than 70 million Americans who have trouble sleeping.

Viewers eager to put it to the test commented on the clip, giving it more than 150,000 likes.

One person commented: ‘The problem is I would get distracted and have to rearrange the whole house and not sleep at all.’

Another person reported having insomnia at 2 a.m. and tried the method, and it worked successfully, with him not getting past the kitchen.

Someone else said: ‘I’m doing this! But by going through a recipe.’

‘This is what I do with my favorite student apartment!’ wrote another fan.

Cierra Bunk said, “I do this too and it works!”

Another fan commented, “I saw this the other day and literally fell asleep in 1 minute and I couldn’t remember how I fell asleep and I literally searched for this video again so I can do it again.”

Tia added, “This works for me. It does help to focus on the room and not on the memories of things that happened in the room.’
