Clinical studies are backing cognitive shuffling — a method that involves intentionally visualizing random and unrelated mental images before going to sleep — as a safe and effective way to calm a busy mind and enhance sleep quality without the use of medication.
Around 70 million individuals in the U.S. experience chronic sleep issues, with many resorting to over-the-counter sleep remedies that pose risks of dependence and morning drowsiness.
This technique, initially created by cognitive scientist Luc Beaulieu-Prevost, has been confirmed by various university sleep research facilities and functions by engaging the brain’s pattern-recognition system to stop anxious thoughts before sleep.
