How to build a bedtime routine: start with a repeatable 20-minute version

ZzzDeck A Loophly product
When sleep will not come, stop ordering your mind to go blank.
ZzzDeck gives your mind a sequence of unrelated words and visual prompts, redirecting attention away from rumination. Set the pace, add optional speech or ambient sound, then put the screen down.
What is it doing?
Cognitive Shuffle is a bedtime technique that directs attention toward random, disconnected imagery instead of continuing one chain of worry or planning. Evidence remains limited and individual results vary; ZzzDeck turns the process into an easy browser tool.
