I’ve been struggling with insomnia the past few weeks. My husband, who can be rather pushy, had me look up military techniques to falling asleep. I tried it last night and wah-lah! I slept through the night, with only one kitty-provoked wake up. But… I fell back to sleep. I got 8 hours total!

[@lindalettman624]

Last night I woke up a few times. Normally, I would turn the bedside light on and read or surf/scroll. But each time I felt myself waking up, I made a conscious effort to say in my mind… “Don’t think” and I fell back asleep by the 3rd or 4th time. It works.

[@tomtolentino7575]

I’ve been practicing this technique for well over 30 + years, even to this day, now that I’ve retired from the Military. It has helped tremendously in those times of war, but as I transferred back into civilian life. There are many stresses in life that are not associated with the high stresses, and demands of military life. But there are associations of stress that build up, even in civilian settings. This is a very good technique 😇🙏👍

Will this work for people who aren’t in the military? Because I don’t want to go to my family doctor for a prescription

[@salvadorromero9712]

You are the first veteran I've heard use this technique. All the others say they never heard tale of it in their entire lives, and the only "fall asleep fast anywhere" technique the military uses is keeping their entire workforce in a constant state of sleep deprivation. Seems like a terrible way to do things but I think the only people who think the military would certainly not do anything ever in a terrible way are lifelong civilians. I feel like the special ops community though must have some good sleeping techniques, since they don't live the same day-to-day lifestyle and yet manage to sleep on their flights to their assignments.

[@sirbowen4358]

As a gunner in a tank, I learned this method in the army. It is called *Progressive muscle relaxation according to Edmund Jacobson (PMR)* Every minute that a soldier has nothing to do he should rest, you never know when you will get to sleep next. And the body also gets used to these power naps and is as well rested as possible. My wife always wonders how I can fall asleep so quickly, but anyone who has slept in the turret of a moving tank with the steel helmet banging to all sides will no longer have trouble falling asleep in regular circumstances. This exercise also helps later with PTSD, which unfortunately affects many soldiers. Depression, anxiety disorders, panic attacks, etc. Just give it a try.

[@1950francesca]

Makes sense for young people but the muscle tensing doesn’t work welll for older people w arthritis or chronic pain

[@Indipender]

Tensing muscles releases adenozine which actually makes you stay awake longer

[@TheAxe4Ever]

@@IndipenderIt is only released intramuscularly when the muscles are worked to failure. Like the burning and shaking sensation you feel after lifting heavy weights with repetition. A slight, brief contraction of the muscles will not release adenosine. But upon relaxing the muscles after that slight, brief contraction can help you really feel and actually assist in the complete relaxation of each muscle and result in an almost totally relaxed and euphoric sensation. Deep breathing, especially on the exhale when relaxing each muscle group is the key.

[@Indipender]

@@TheAxe4Ever you are mixing it with that adenosine is released into the venous efflux of exercising muscle and that adenosine is responsible for 20/40% of the maintained phase of the muscle vasodilatation that accompanies submaximal and maximal contractions.

[@S3RAVA3LM]

I'm listening. Sometimes, when lying on bed, I tense my entire body up, holding for 20 seconds, and then release, and breathe in slow, exhale slow, sometimes this helps. Sometimes I visualize a candle, with a flame, and any thoughts that arise flickers the flame, so I focus on the flame being still. And Sometimes, I'm able to entirely control my mind, from any intrusive thoughts, and fall asleep shortly after, but this doesn't work all the time - certain movies, states, life, hardships, internet, life, and life again, makes it difficult.

It works even better if you flex and hold the muscles for a few seconds and *then* relax them - if you’re already tense from stress it’s not so easy to just relax your body because you can’t feel the tension unless you use each muscle group. Also, this exercise in itself empties the mind and I’d usually be asleep before finishing. You adapt, and pretty soon you’re taking power-naps in trees and on rock, anywhere your body was stationary for more than two minutes - especially if you had a Bergen on to lean against, or back to back with a buddy.

A huge part to the breathing thing, is you went to breathe in for 3 seconds and out for 6/7. Constantly blowing out for that time. You want it to be just hard enough that you need to focus on your breathe control. But not so hard you’re straining after 10 reps. It’ll get easier after the first few. You can always change the times. For others having a hard time ~ this is super corny / cliche / embarrassing. But actively telling yourself “it’s okay to sleep, everything will be fine.” Can help. Run through what’s stressing you, like if you have kids “I’ll hear them, even if I’m asleep. It’s okay.”

Ever so slowly all while breathing and relaxing. Taking your time on each part of your body. It absolutely works.

I relax and close my eyes, in my mind I walk around a place I know, a place I love or have fond memories of, I try to remember all of the little details about everything I see. For me it's my old Jiu-Jitsu academy, I walk through the courtyard, I try to remember all of the details, they I walk inside and try to remember all of it. It usually doesn't take long and I'm out.

This is basically an old yoga technique. Years ago I had an accidental out of body (OBE) experience with this. I didn’t know what I was going through when it happened. Both eyes closed, in complete darkness I suddenly found myself floating in mid air towards the ceiling! And I could see very well even though I could feel my eyelids closed! I kept going up, moving ahead of the bed and once near the ceiling I was afraid I would hurt myself if the phenomenon stopped because I would have fallen on a hard wood floor! I quickly figured out how I got up there: curiosity. Some reversed the process. I told myself: I want to go back in bed, repeatedly. And it worked. A few days later, after talking with friends I realized I had experienced an OBE.
