Will this help to not get attached to people all the time? I realized that the real problem in relationships is being too emotionally invested.

For attachment, awareness is not necessary; rather, awareness is the barrier. The more aware you become the less you will be attached, because the need for attachment disappears.  Only a person who is aware can love, because he doesn’t need you. But then love has a totally different dimension, it is not attachment, it is not dependence. 

Meditate, become more sensitive, and take it as a criterion that you will go on becoming more and more detached. If you feel that attachment is growing, then you are erring somewhere in your meditation. These are the criteria. If meditation really flowers within you, you will have a feeling of detachment.

Yes, it's called "sleep".  Best time for this practice is at night.

@Anton Rogachevski Absolutely it will.
