Strategies to fall asleep
A health expert has become a web sensation for a TikTok video where he shares a trick to fall asleep in just two minutes.
Sleeping is perhaps the richest delight in everyday life, except in some cases when resting could be a problem.
Justin Agustín, who explains techniques to fall asleep in two minutes, assures that this secret allows a soldier to rest at any time and in any place. The famous video reached more than 4 million views.
The famous tiktoker also has a YouTube channel, and alludes to the fact that this procedure was created in the army to allow warriors to sleep anytime, anywhere, even in the combat zone, where the weather is very uncomfortable and there is noise. Just at that time the rest of a soldier is significant.
He commented that, according to his investigative work, the result obtained is that it was carried out mainly in military pilots who need 100% of their reflexes and fixation, which together are known to decrease with the absence of rest.
Military sleeping procedure
Agustín points out that it is first important to inhale deeply and try to release each piece of the body, individually. For this, it would begin by relaxing the muscles of the forehead.
Then, at that point, he says to relax your eyes, your cheek, your jaw, and feel your breath. Later it is about lowering the shoulders and neck.
It should be ensured that the shoulders should not be tense. After lowering as far as possible, the arms should be loose and free at the sides, including the fingers and hands.
Next, Justin suggested visualizing a warm feeling going from your head to your fingertips. That same equivalent sensation from the heart to the toes.
At that time, you have to take a deep breath and exhale little by little, loosening your stomach, chest, thighs, legs, knees and feet.
In this process it is essential to try to get rid of mental pressure.
For this, he offered two types of situations that can be thought of:
Imagine that you are lying in a canoe on a calm lake with only a blue sky lighting up above you.
Imagine that you are lying in a soft, black velvet hammock and the room is completely dark.
If you believe that there may be some kind of distraction in the process, Agustín advises that you repeat for 10 seconds : "Don't think, don't think, don't think, don't think."
96% of individuals who undertake this procedure are able to fall asleep within two minutes of closing their eyes. For this, what has been explained must be practiced every night for six weeks.
User Testimonials
Most of the followers who claim to have tried the technique acknowledge its effectiveness.
One of the users, who is a military man, commented that this technique was taught to him at the academy. Also, a psychology professor at the university also taught it to him, and it really does work.
A second comment surfaced, in which he notes that his doctor suggested this strategy with slight varieties when I was sleep-deprived. However, it works 100% once you get the hang of it.
Another of the followers assured that this technique helps his 9-year-old son who has many sleep difficulties and this helps him to relax and fall asleep quickly. The technique was taught to him by his mother, and she also taught her children.
