But according to a video making the rounds on TikTok, all it takes is five minutes before bed to subconsciously reprogram your mind and create the reality you really want. The TikTok is based on a popular speech by author and motivational speaker Wayne Dyer in which Dyer explains that “your subconscious is most at home” during the hours it’s asleep. That’s why, he says, it’s the most effective and important time to program your subconscious to attract the things you do want in life instead of spending those precious moments before bed reviewing all of the things you don’t like.

How to subconsciously reprogram your mind in the 5 minutes before you fall asleep
“What you place into your subconscious mind as you are about to go into this deep slumber is all dependent upon what you do the last three or four or five minutes before you go off to sleep,” Dyer says. While many manifestation techniques suggest starting your day with positive affirmations, Dyer’s is different in that you end your day with them. According to Dyer, in the five minutes before you go to bed, you should tell yourself positive affirmations. “in the last five minutes of your day,” he says,“you were to say, ‘I feel great. I feel joyful. I experienced what I want. I met the person that I wanted to meet. I was able to get the job that I wanted to get.’ And you start saying to yourself, ‘This is how I feel,’ now you’ve got eight hours, and your subconscious mind believes that that’s who you are and what you want.” RELATED: How To Use The 5x55 Manifestation Method To Manifest What You Want In 5 Days Your subconscious mind will then have the opportunity to “marinate” in these thoughts and begin to believe them. “For the next eight hours, it begins to align you in the mysterious way that none of us can understand that allows for the manifestation and the materialization to take place,” Dyer explains. After all, Dyer concludes, it’s ultimately your feeling that creates the reality around you. “It comes from the feelings.” So it makes sense that the longer you allow your subconscious mind to sit with these feelings, the more likely they are to actually materialize.
