The water flows quietly, passes through the rocks, reminds us of nature... Yes, it is indeed a simple stream. More specifically, that of the Bonet River, in the northwest of Ireland. Why
has this seemingly unbreakable 8 hour video been viewed over six million times?!
Because it has a power... That of relaxing insomniacs. Originally, Irish director Johnnie Lawson just created a series of relaxing videos with the aim of "bringing a bit of nature into people's lives",
he tells BBC . And then, to his surprise, many sleepless people started writing to him from North Korea, Africa, England… to tell him how his video helped them with their insomnia.
As a result, it is now used in several London hospitals as part of sleep research. Patients receive tablets with the Johnnie Lawson clip. And to be convinced of the effectiveness, head to the comments on Youtube, which are rather complimentary! "I live in the middle of Manhattan, I didn't think so much serenity could exist," said one, "thank you for helping me stay focused over 19 hours in my research and writing," said another.
How about we try tonight? How about attacking this new week in coolness mode?
