I've talked to a friend recently and he assures me he's been sleeping 5-6 hours every night ever since he was a kid.

I do believe him, but I find it fascinating since I feel like I'm going to fall apart every time I don't get at least 7 hours of sleep, and the older I am, the worse it hits.

I've been reading on box breathing, and how it can help people like me who are stuck in anxious loops, especially during the night.

has anyone "mastered" it?

I'm not talking about the tips we've all heard many times before. Is there some weird sleep trick that sounds like it has nothing to do with sleep, but actually worked for you?
