Military Method (or Yoga Nidra) to Fall Asleep in 2 Minutes

[@scrivenerslocal23]

I have terrible insomnia. I clicked this video last night looking for something to help. It was only 6 minutes but I tried it anyway. I woke up this morning and I don’t remember a single thing about it. Thank you.

[@massimiliano2107]

are you still using this method? did this helped you on the long run?

[@5uck3rfr33]

lol..same thing happened to me last night. It was 3am and I clicked the video to see what the process was and fell asleep before the video ended and I don’t remember a single thing about the video either.

[@KevinBowden-f3f]

I agree,and always said to my doctor that I considered sleep more paramount than food,(close call) But food I can deny for three days, sleep when absent messes up more quicker - it may just be me, but sleep is detrimental if absent. When my brain gets engaged with a problem ( not a worry, I mean a puzzle and the like, my brain don't know when to turn off) Sleep perchance to dream , Hamlet. Just relishing a good night's sleep.

[@AbhishekAnshuuu]

Same thing happened with me. It was 3AM and I was just following instructions about relaxing forehead and cheeks and shoulders and I woke up now and don't remember if I even watched the complete video

[@LaurenSingh-pz3py]

That’s crazy it’s nearly 3am now lol and all u are falling a sleep at that time 😂😂 wonder if I will

[@tessapietersen21]

I tried this and it works. The trick is that when you get into that 'no think' space, stay there. One doesn't realise how tense you are until you've tried this.

[@liam606]

This has taken a few days of sleepless nights but now I fall asleep to your voice so quickly and it makes me happy to rest

[@robbertram3310]

This has been working for me for over a year. When I get to the “don’t think” stage, the next thing I know is I’m waking up.

[@markdimaio8396]

I came across this technique about a year ago. This lady goes much deeper into detail. It works. May take a little practice but keep it up. It works

[@Summerbreeze537]

Thank you. I didn't realize how tense I was when I first layed down at night.

[@H.Michele]

It’s called progressive relaxation. They teach it a lot to people experiencing anxiety. My mom used to have me do it when I had panic attacks as a kid.

[@tatumergo3931]

Oh, so that's what it's called... usually our Drill Sargeant worked us to death, he was really the panic attack! After a day of training and drilling, there was never an issue with falling sleep, not in 2 minutes but in 3 seconds!

[@ubermind-tim]

I use a similar method to relax my hippotherapy clients. I've been using it for years, and it works very effectively. Another possibility for those heavy, constant thinkers is for them to in their mind slowly repeat, "I feel very relaxed, very sleepy."

[@syciuplyte8494]

Hippotherapy? You deal with obese people? 😃

[@shwetaprabhu6754]

The 4-7-8 technique always works for me 😊

[@lindaward-thompson.3049]

Thank you for this thoughtful video. It's similar to yoga nidra. For me the key is to slow down the breathing, making it natural. I love the image of the lake too.

[@margo5583]

I use a similar method only I start at my toes ,feet ankles ect. and moves up the body. I used this method on my children when they were small. It works for me. Staying asleep all night is the problem. I often wake at 3 or 4 in the morning.

[@Cheif_Runs_with_scissors]

Me too

[@sjaelfre]

Still so happy you're back. And not only back, but blessing us with a second channel 😇

[@HullioGQ]

Where is the second channel?

[@PolishedAfterSixtyYvette]

This reminds me of Yoga Nidra. It too helps to relax you and lull you into a deep sleep. TFS 😊🙏🏻

[@janetownley]

But yoga Nidra is usually about 45 minutes, and it’s intended to produce “yogic sleep”, which is a type of being awake.

[@Mamalion730]

Thanks for reminding of this method. I used to use it decades ago

[@edwardpatrickdetrafford-mo8347]

⚔️As a former Canadian soldier, I’ve never had a problem getting to sleep. On our seasonal concentration camp maneuvers, we would keep going for days, getting a crash dive nap in, as soon as we stopped. At times when we stopped to eat at mobile food kitchens; we sat against a tree or laid our heads on our packs, only to fall asleep immediately. We were wakened by the noises of others stirring about or giving orders, to saddle-up. First time it was unbelievable how we could keep going, even though, we thought we’d exhausted all of our energy. We were in top physical, and psychological condition. I watched a man, who had a large mosquito sucking blood from his head, as he slipped away; I had not enough energy to tell him, as I was also slipping away. As sunset to night the mosquitos were swarming around us, and in our food, as we had no choice but to eat it all. They were like a fog, that took our bloods. I lasted 6 yrs. Then I left. While worth the experience. Good night.🛡️

[@theajane6444]

Clearing the mind is tough. The imperative "Don't think" is counterproductive for me...it winds my mind up! BUT, allowing my mind to simply "set aside " its concerns does allow my mind to settle down and relax.

[@santamaria3592]

Thank YOU maybe I will do it when I can't fall asleep (that's very rare). I usually fall asleep two minutes after my head touches my pillow!

[@tomgoff7887]

I remenber being taught this relaxation method in Aikido training classes over 50 years ago.

[@Airbender131090]

This method is thousand of years old.

[@illuminated2438]

Thank you! This does work; I used to have tons of problems getting to sleep. I encountered this in print media from a member of the military, and this is essentially identical, but more thorough.

This is great information. Also can drink tart cherry juice and it works wonders too although I don't know why. If this doesn't help your mom, maybe the cherry juice will. Side note: the only store I've been able to find it in in my area is Publix.

I know what will work for your insomnia. Let me put you through 3 months of US ARMY Basic training, or USMC boot camp. I will 100% percent guarantee that you will never have insomnia ever again!

[@CarmenGutierrez-p8d]

Whenever I have insomnia I just stop trying to sleep. I do whatever else I feel like and eventually I sleep. It takes the pressure off. Mine is not chronic, just offering my 2 cents though. Good luck ❤

Thank you so much! I will try! 🙏🏼

[@paulperry968]

With respect, sometimes it seems to me that everyone has a "method". Usually one with five points or more. Learning to relax everything completely and one part at a time is good to know. As is breathing deeply with the full depth of your lungs. Too much thinking may be more an anxiety thing and there are ways to counter that (I leave that to the experts). To me, its simply learn and practice. But be aware, being ill for example brings on other problems with sleep.

I can fall asleep within 1 minute, if I imagine breathing slowly and deeply INTO my different body parts. Sometimes, I can even fall asleep within in three loooooong exhales. I learned this from a woman who coached the Canadian Swim Team in the 1980s, to improve their breathing. Good night! 😊

I use something very similar to induce a hypnotic state in another person. I've tried this on myself with a recording but still couldn't induce self hypnosis. Though, it is very relaxing.

I do well listening to adult bedtime stories with a black screen soundscape playing softly in the background. However, many of the stories have irritating sounds during the story that wake me or the soundscape has a a bird crying out, suddenly or some such thing. Why is KZbin requiring bedtime stories to end with long playing music, that may not be suitable for remaining asleep?🙃

If I could relax I would be able to sleep. The fact I can't relax is why I cant sleep.

Same. When I do fall asleep it’s only a short time before I jerk awake suddenly having a panic attack. How a body can panic while it’s sleeping, I don’t know, but that’s my nervous system for you.
