Sleep specialists say it’s low-risk, free, and effective for quieting a restless mind without getting out of bed.
The science behind it
Proprioceptive circuits act like the brain's internal GPS for body position, and resetting them helps fall back asleep.
Why try it now?
The technique has helped many women over 50 fall back asleep quickly without medication or supplements.
Who it’s best for
Women over 50 with fragmented sleep due to hormonal changes benefit most from this simple eye exercise.
How to do it
