Not getting enough sleep and having trouble falling asleep happens more often than you might believe. Many people face these problems at some time in their lives, and the reasons can be different.
Some reasons include stress and anxiety, a bad sleep environment, drinking too much caffeine and nicotine, having an irregular sleep schedule, and also medical issues and hormonal changes.
When you don’t get enough sleep, you might feel tired, forgetful, and cranky during the day.
Fortunately, there are methods that can assist you in falling asleep quickly, and one popular technique on social media is the military sleep method.
Justin Agustin, a fitness and health influencer, is the person who made this military sleep method famous, claiming it can help you drift off in just two minutes.
He says it works for 96% of people who have tried it, and many of them were excited to share their experiences in the comments of his viral TikTok video.
I grew up in a military family, and I learned this technique. In college, I had a psychology teacher who was a veteran, and he taught it too. It really does work.
Another person said: I struggle with really bad insomnia, and nothing seems to help. I can get some sleep with a lot of medication, but I never feel rested when I wake up. I’m going to try this tonight.
A third person shared: My mom showed me this method, and I passed it on to my kids. My son faces a lot of challenges, and this helps him calm down and fall asleep quickly; he’s only 9.
According to Glamour, the military sleep method was designed especially for soldiers in the US military and is meant to be effective even in very tough situations—like being on a real battlefield.
If you want to give it a shot, the video below explains how to do it.
It’s important to let your muscles relax, beginning with your face and moving down to your hands and shoulders. After that, breathe out and open up your chest while making sure your arms and shoulders stay relaxed and at ease. Let go of any tightness in your legs, starting with your thighs, then your calves, ankles, and finally your feet.
In the end, calm your thoughts by picturing a peaceful scene in your mind.
