Struggling with insomnia? You’re not alone—many face sleepless nights that drag on forever. But relief might be simpler than you think! Try the US Military’s proven 2-minute sleep method with just 5 easy steps to drift off quickly and kiss insomnia goodbye.
96% Pilots Fall Asleep Fast After Training
According to various media reports, the United States Navy Pre-flight School developed a method to help pilots fall asleep quickly and avoid mistakes due to sleep deprivation. After six weeks of practice, it’s said that 96% of pilots could successfully nod off fast, whether day or night!
5 Steps to Relax Body and Mind Fully
- Start by relaxing your face, including the tongue, jaw, and muscles around the eyes;
- Don’t tense your shoulders—let them drop, relax your arms, and ease the muscles at the back of your neck;
- Take a deep breath, then exhale slowly, relaxing your chest, biceps, forearms, while keeping your breathing slow and steady;
- Relax your entire lower body, starting with the thighs, then moving to the calves and toes;
- Beyond keeping your body relaxed, spend 10 seconds letting your brain rest and calming your thoughts. You can imagine yourself lying in a canoe on a serene lake, with nothing but blue skies above—focus on this scene for 10 seconds. Or picture yourself in a pitch-black room on a black velvet hammock, holding that image for 10 seconds. During this, repeat in your mind: “Don’t think, don’t think, don’t think” for 10 seconds to stop any other thoughts from creeping in.
The theory behind this sleep method is that with repeated practice on relaxing your body and mind, you’ll naturally drift off quickly. If you’re struggling with insomnia, give these steps a try and see if they make a difference!
