Follow Military Techniques: If You Find Difficulty To Fall Asleep Faster
NO MORE TOSSING AND TURNING AROUND
If you are one of the many who find it difficult to fall asleep quickly now you will take a sigh of relief after knowing there is an old technique currently doing the rounds on TikTok—that is guaranteed to help you fall asleep in minutes.
The military method, which was popularised by the US Army is said to be an ultra-effective trick to help you drift off in as little as ten seconds, maximum two minutes. So, how does it work?
Well, first and foremost the method should be practised daily to experience its full effects—expect amazing results in six weeks of practice and all you have to follow these quicks tricks:
Relax your entire face, including all the muscles and your tongue, from your jaw to inside your mouth. It can be easier to tense them all up first and then let go.
Drop your shoulders to release any tension and allow your hands to drop to the side of your body.
Exhale, relaxing your chest and focusing on the breath. Also allow your legs, thighs and calves to relax in the process, letting gravity pull them down naturally.
Clear your mind for ten seconds, imagining a relaxing scene. If this doesn’t work, try saying the words “don’t think” over and over for 10 seconds.
Within ten seconds, you should fall asleep, but it may take up to two minutes when you first start practising.
The technique, which was designed to help soldiers fall asleep quickly in any situation to help minimise the risk of mistakes made on the job, emphasizes helping to alleviate muscle tension and unwind the body which in turn helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system that is responsible for our rest and recover mode. It costs nothing—so why not try now?
