This works for me but maybe not everyone... Read on and see what I mean.
I recommend this product.I have a CPAP and an over active mind. I didn't get the CPAP till a few years back the only reason I bring this up is anyone knows it can be a challenge to sleep with just a CPAP much less an over active mind.I find the the breathing of the light and allowing myself to focus on the light and trying to match the breathing or pulsing of the light just allows me to relax, unfocus, and pass out. Just as the video portrays.Now of course nothing is without it's flaws it takes a little bit to get use too but if you really give it a chance I think it will work on most people since I have owned I think there has been perhaps 2 night I didn't fall asleep before the light went off. Those were just very trying nights in my life recently it can help you unfocus but only so much sometimes your brain will win.Things to know when you turn it on it will last 8 mins if you run your finger over the surface again it will last for 20 mins. I suggest this at first so you can get use to the product. I know some people have complained about the brightness but it is adjustable so just adjust to what works for you and set for 20 mins and give it a real college try before you decide it works for you or not.I love and take it will me everywhere as I travel a lot for work. There is a great travel case on Amazon as well if you want one here is the link.https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B079FH5BN5/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s02?ie=UTF8&th=1 It's simple, sturdy, and not too expensive.If you have any other questions just ask away. I really love this product as it has allowed me to get to sleep fast and I'd even wager to say it has improved my sleep as well by allowing me to go to sleep in such a relaxed state.

Sadly, just another useless insomnia gimmick
The idea behind this product seemed promising to me, but it fails miserably on implementation. One major problem is that the pace of the breathing (at the beginning of the cycle anyway) is faster than my normal breathing. So it slows your breathing down, but only after first speeding it up?? That seems rather pointless. I could feel my heart rate increasing as I tried to keep up with the pace of the breathing. It felt like instead of decreasing anxiety, it was making me more anxious. Also, the light circles on the ceiling were very diffuse (and my ceilings are of just average height) which made the pattern difficult to follow. This was still the case even after I put my glasses on (although if I had to wear my glasses to fall asleep that would not have been much help). And lastly, related I believe to the diffusion issue, is that the pattern goes dark for an uncomfortable period of time between the circle getting smaller and getting larger again - which is not conducive to establishing rhymic breathing. As a lifelong insomniac, I genuinely wanted this product to work and so I tried it many times over several nights thinking I could get the hang of it with some practice, but, because of the issues I explained above, it just did not work for me, and I am rather skeptical about it working for anyone. Note that the production quality on the videos on YouTube is a little too good to be believable - I think they are actually infomercials. I normally do not write reviews, but I feel a certain obligation to do so when I return a product that has been used, which I also normally would not do. And, I want my fellow insomniacs to have the complete picture before forking out any hard-earned money on this product, given that many, like me, are willing to spend anything for the promise of more restless sleep. My advice is to save your money.

Worth a shot. If it doesn’t help you sleep, it will at least help you quiet your mind.
I have struggled with insomnia for as long as I can remember, and I’ve tried just about every method and product available. Nothing has been 100 percent successful or consistent, but I have found the Dodow to be a very helpful tool — particularly if your sleep troubles arise from being unable to “turn off your brain.”Pros:- Affordable, one-time purchase- Small size, easily portable- No cords or accessories- A helpful guide to breathing and relaxation that doesn’t wake me up if I fall asleep before the guide is finished, unlike other CDs and apps.- An effective distractor from anxiety and overactive thought patterns- Two time settings that allow me to tailor my experience dependent upon my sleep needs.Cons:- The Dodow lights up an entire room, especially a room with light blocking curtains. I can still see some of the light through closed eyelids, even on the low light setting.-If you’re an anxious person, you may find yourself getting wound up if you can’t quite synchronize your breathing with the light. This is a mindset issue, not a product issue, but it is something to consider and reflect upon before you buy.-The light projects directly above the Dodow. Sitting on my night stand, the light projects decently far to the right from my head, meaning focusing on the light can be physically uncomfortable.I am not sure how well the Dodow helps me sleep, but it does help me to at least relax and quiet my mind. It is useful while I am trying to sleep and when I am trying to clear my head.As with any sleep remedy, the Dodow is not a cure-all, but it is a useful tool to keep in my toolbox.
