Now, one scientist claims he has a way of getting insomniacs to slip into a slumber in just 60 seconds - and it doesn t involve prescription drugs or strange lighting.
Dubbed the 4-7-8 breathing technique, the method is described as a natural tranquiliser for the nervous system helping to reduce tension in the body.
