Here we are going to tell you about the Military Sleep Method, the biggest advantage of which is that you can sleep deeply in a very short time.
This technique calms both the body and the mind, thereby reducing stress and anxiety. Let us tell you, it may take some time in the beginning, but after practicing it continuously for 6 weeks, it is said that about 96% of the people fall asleep within 2 minutes. Let's find out.
What is 'Military Sleep Technique'?
This technique was developed by the US Navy during World War II. At that time, pilots were prone to making mistakes due to lack of sleep during the stressful conditions of war. This technique was devised to correct their sleep cycle and help them fall asleep immediately. This technique was mentioned in Lloyd Bud Winter's 1981 book 'Relax and Win: Championship Performance'. The basic principle of this method is to completely relax the body and mind, so that you can sleep free from any external thoughts or stress.
How does the technology work?
This technique focuses on gradually relaxing every part of the body and calming the mind. It mainly includes muscle relaxation, breath control and mental visualization. For this you have to follow the steps given below.
- First of all, lie down in a comfortable position on your back. Keep your arms and legs straight and leave the whole body loose. Make sure that your body is in a completely relaxed position.
- Relax all the muscles in your face. This includes your forehead, eyes, cheeks, and even your tongue and jaw inside your mouth. Then imagine all the stress leaving your face.
- Lower your shoulders as much as you can, as if they are sinking into the bed. Let your hands loose and fingers loose.
- After this, take a deep breath and release it slowly. While exhaling, completely relax your chest and stomach muscles. Feel that your chest and stomach are becoming completely calm and stress-free.
- Now focus on your legs. Let your thighs, knees, calves and feet relax completely. Feel as if your legs have become absolutely heavy and are sinking into the bed.
- Now comes the most important step- calming your mind. Try to remove all the thoughts from your mind. If any thought comes, try to stop it for 10 seconds. You can repeat in your mind 'don't think, don't think' for 10 seconds.
- If you are unable to calm yourself completely, imagine a peaceful and pleasant place. It could be a calm lake, where you are lying under a blue sky. Or imagine swinging on a velvet swing in a dark room. Get lost in this imagination for 10 seconds.
Let us tell you, by practicing this technique you can really go into deep sleep within minutes. This method will not only help you sleep, but will also reduce physical and mental stress. Its specialty is that it can be used at any place, be it your bed or anywhere else.
