The Military Technique to Fall Asleep in 2 Minutes

The military technique to fall asleep in 2 minutes.

Are you tired of spending part of the night turning around while waiting to fell asleep? If so, then test this technique developed by the US military.

This trick was developed by the military so that soldiers could rest on the battlefield and avoid errors related to fatigue.

Of course, this breathing technique will not knock you out immediately on the first try as if you were being anesthetized. It requires regular training so that your body begins to develop a powerful sedative reaction. But do not panic, even beginners can use this technique to reduce stress and fall asleep faster. The advantage of this technique is that it acts very fast. You only need 30 seconds to put it into practice.

How it works?

1. Relax all the muscles in your face: the tongue, jaw, and muscles around the eyes.

2. Drop your shoulders as far as possible from your face, followed by the upper and lower parts of your arms, one side at a time.
3. Exhale, relax your chest, then your legs, starting from the thighs and moving towards your feet.
4. Finally, spend 10 seconds emptying your mind before thinking of any of the following three pictures:

• Lying in a canoe on a calm lake alone with the blue sky above you. 
• Snuggle up in a black velvet hammock in a totally dark room. 
• Say to yourself in mind "do not think, do not think, do not think" in a loop for 10 seconds.

According to the newspaper, this technique would work on 96% of people after 6 weeks of practice.

Do you know?

• A human being spends an average of one-third of his life sleeping. During your life, you will spend about 25 years in the arms of Morpheus!
• People over 45 who sleep more than 10 hours a night are more likely to suffer from heart disease, stroke or diabetes than sleepers who sleep for 6 to 10 hours.
