I gave more thought to the 140% faster claim. I realized there was a placebo group. So if the placebo group takes and average of 160 minutes to fall asleep and the Relaxium group takes 25 minutes to fall asleep , the "Relaxium Group" was more than twice as fast (twice as fast is "100 percent faster) - in fact, 140% faster. Falling asleep in 30 minutes would have been twice as fast compared to falling asleep in 60 mintues, but the "Relaxium Group" exceeded that.

I guess if you define "twice as fast" as the same as "100 percent faster", then you are correct.
But, I would define "100 percent faster" as zero time and "twice as fast" as being "50 percent faster". 160 minutes x 0.5 = 80 minutes. So, 80 minutes is 50 percent faster than 160 minutes.
