“If you have trouble sleeping at night, I’m about to share with you a really strange and weird hack for sleeping,” she said in a video shared with What’s The Jam.
“It sounds like it makes no sense but it’s helped me and literally everybody else I’ve ever told it to.”
While lying in bed ready to settle for sleep, Emily says to start by taking a few deep breaths, and then to visualise a house that you are familiar with, but is not your own.
She says: “I use my grandmother’s old house.

“You visualise yourself slowly walking up to the house, noticing all the details about the outside, going up to the door and opening the door.
“[Then] walking in, seeing the layout, and then slowly going through each room and noticing things in as much detail as possible.
“Make your way through every room, seeing the art, the furniture, the layout.

“There is something about this that distracts your thinking, busy mind enough to let you fall into sleep.”
The post from the Brooklyn, New York-based expert, has over 162,000 likes from viewers eager to put the method to the test.
One person commented: “The problem is I would get distracted and be redesigning the whole house and not sleep at all.”
Another person reported having insomnia at 2am, trying the method, and it working successfully with them not making it past the kitchen.
Someone else said: “I do this! But with going through a recipe.”
“I do this with my favourite college apartment!” another fan wrote.
Another user commented: “I do this too and it works!”
“What?!? I do this!! I thought it was my only crazy routine! It definitely works!” said another follower.
Another fan said: “I saw this the other day and literally fell asleep within 1 minute and I couldn’t remember how I fell asleep and I’ve literally been looking for this video again just so I can do it again.”
Someone else added: “This works for me. It does help to focus on the room and not the memories of things that happened in the room.”
