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!
Be prepared for a surprise: Reality star weighing 600 pounds wed in a daring wedding dress
Tammy Slayton, who is overweight, opted to wear an open dress.
Tammy and Emmy Slayton are the stars of the well-known American reality show “1,000 Pound Sisters,” which follows two teenagers who are dangerously obese.
They are currently 34 and 35 years old, respectively. Up until a few years ago, they consented to broadcast their daily lives to millions of viewers in the hopes of becoming in shape and beginning to live life to the fullest.
For three seasons, the sisters struggled with their addictions and with themselves. Amy, who is losing weight and requesting surgery, was the sibling who experienced the most success.
Amy and Tammy were both at 185 and 275 kg at the time of shooting (of which Amy had already lost roughly 50 kg). In contrast to her sibling, she has gained weight and is currently close to three hundred pounds. Tammy’s health naturally soon deteriorated, and she was sent to an Ohio medical rehabilitation facility that specialized in treating obese individuals.
She is currently receiving care at the clinic for her weight loss and the pulmonary issues that her fat-related obesity caused. Tammy still feels very strongly about her life’s mission. She routinely posts funny videos to her social media accounts, updates her fans on her health, and reassures her followers that everything is well.
At the treatment center is where Tammy first met her fiancé, Caleb Willingham. That encounter marked the beginning of the only relationship she has ever experienced that wasn’t based on internet dating. The man proposed to her there after they had already staged a wedding there, where they had first met.
Many of the concerns they share may be discussed with one another. They help each other a lot now, they really do. The pals of the couple say it’s amazing.
The intimate wedding was attended by just the bride’s closest relatives and friends. This included Amy, the sister of the bride, who had lost weight and as a result was already married and had a kid.
