So I bought a big candle yesterday, and last night I practiced tratak for the first time. I plan on doing it each night before bed, for 10 minutes at a time. Does anyone else practice it? What can you - roughly - expect from a daily 10 minute practice?
A good night’s sleep, if nothing else 
Lovely practice, I still do it from time to time. Mainly I think it strengthens your concentration and your self-confidence, and I say that from experience. Even 10 minutes a day will do this.
Thought this is for for advanced students of yoga…

I don’t think it’s limited for advanced students. I actually think that is can be a great beginner’s exercise.
benefits? it is a very good exercise for eyes, as for the mind it might improove concentration as well as ability be thoughtless, alertness (not to fall asleep while doing it) . Tratak calms and relaxes most people - easy to fall asleep…but I do not think that this is the purpose:)
ps: easier to perform in the dark room with candle on the eye level
