Tried the 4-7-8 breathing app at 11pm in Denver, and it actually knocked me out

I figured the whole breathing timer thing on my phone was nonsense, but I tried one called Breathly in my hotel room in Denver last month because I could not sleep at all. It counts to 4, holds to 7, and out to 8, and by round 3 my eyes were shutting on their own. Now I want a second opinion before I make it a habit, does the counting hold up for you folks or do you end up just staring at the screen waiting for it to finish?
