The actual question is, will you be among the 96% of those who can use this military technique to fall asleep in two minutes?
All of us have experienced it, or at least, those of us who experience high levels of anxiety have. As we lay in bed, exhausted beyond belief, our minds raced, making it impossible for us to go asleep. We reached for the sinister blue lights on our phones, thinking to ourselves, “If only there was a way to fall asleep instantly?”
It turns out that there is, albeit given who I am, I’ll probably be in the unfortunate four percent for which it doesn’t work. Nevertheless, perhaps there is still hope for you.
Though science hasn’t yet developed a “on-off” switch for our brains, there is a military sleep technique that may be the next best thing.
Fitness instructor Justin Agustin used his platform to spread the word about this technique, which he claims works for an astounding 96 percent of individuals and can even put you to sleep in under two minutes.
How then does it operate?
The US Army, it seems, created the method primarily for “fighter pilots who need 100% of their reflexes” and for combatants who must be able to nod off in noisy, demanding environments.
You will go to sleep in a matter of minutes if you settle in and pay attention to your breathing.
Once you’ve mastered that area, you may begin to’shut it down’ by gradually relaxing your entire body, beginning with your forehead and facial features.
Make every effort to ensure that nothing is tight and that your arms are relaxed by your sides.
Feel the warmth rising from your head to your fingertips. Then, relax your chest by taking a deep breath; then, relax your thigh, stomach, legs, and feet.
You must visualize the warm feeling traveling from your heart to your toes.
Finally, the difficult portion.
Ideally, you should be free of any tension in order to aid in your own sleep.
Picture yourself in a cozy spot, such as curled up in a velvet hammock or relaxing on a heated boat on a serene lake.
For 10 seconds, tell yourself to “don’t think” if you are experiencing intrusive thoughts about the time you told a waiter to enjoy your dinner and you feel like you’re thinking about something else.
Hopefully, you will be able to fall asleep after this.
Though Agustin’s video may seem too wonderful to be true, comments on it show that there is some validity to the approach.
“I’m a military brat and was taught this,” one commenter said. This was also taught by a seasoned psychology professor I had in college. It is undoubtedly effective.”
Another said: “Pretty sure this is closer to what is called Progressive Muscle Relaxation which was developed by an American physician in 1908.”
And that’s it – pleasant dreams!
Woman buys homeless man food and stays with him – he then gives her a note and she realizes the truth.
I recently came over a sociological experiment where a female was left by alone by the sidewalk while she was dressed properly. When most people noticed her, they took the time to stop and inquire about her parents’ whereabouts and whether she needed assistance. Now, the same girl was left standing in the same spot, her garments soiled and tattered. Many individuals went past her, but none of them seemed to pay any attention. And those who did looked on with bitterness.
This is today’s depressing reality. It begs the question, “When did this world turn into a place where egotistical people only consider other people’s appearances?” Or, why is a rich person’s life more valuable than a poor person’s?
Fortunately, we encounter someone along the road who demonstrates that not everyone has lost the capacity to feel sympathy for those who are less fortunate, which gives us hope that all is not lost.
When Casey Fischer noticed a homeless man on the side of the road gathering change, she decided to stop by Dunkin’ Donuts for coffee during her break from courses. Then he went inside, thinking he would buy something to eat.
Fisher could see that the man had barely made $1 in change in his hand as she drew nearer. Then she invited him to join her at her table and offered to pay for his bagel and coffee.
The man identified himself as Chris and told Fischer that the only reason he was frequently treated poorly was that he was homeless.
He acknowledged that his drug misuse made him into the person he detested. Being the person his late mother would have been proud of was basically all he wanted out of life. yet in some way was unable to do so.
Fischer told Chris she was happy to meet him and said she had to leave since it was time for her to return to class. The man, however, motioned for her to wait a moment, got a piece of crumpled paper, scrawled something on it, and gave it to his new friend.
When Fischer opened the note, she was taken aback. She had no idea that her actions would have such a profound impact on the homeless man. This meeting meant far more to him than simply catching up over coffee and bagels. Something in him altered as a result.
The note said, “I wanted to kill myself today.” I no longer do as a result of you. I’m grateful, lovely individual.
We also like to thank this beautiful girl. This world needs you to make the necessary changes in order to continue.
