This technique is called Progressive Relaxation and it works! I used to use it in college when I had horrible anxiety.
Thank you for sharing this, i have too much anxiety these months and vitamins did not help
Hum so nhi pai lekin tatty nikal gayi

Using this technique for my job. I am a trucker and rest is well needed, this helps a lot
Same!!
do you use it on the job?
Mr. Rieper, welcome to the IAGO auction.
@@donnerk180 probably no
Judging by your pfp I think you are only a trucker right now, until you change your disguise
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
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.
I tried it for a few months and it never worked. Looked up many videos and lots of research to see if I was making a mistake but I just lay there with a quiet mind for hours,,awake. I gotta take melatonin
I have not even been in one and I know this technique lol 😂 I was born with it...
@@sandrasennhauser1776 why would it only be for military people?
I learned this technique, not for falling asleep, but for pain control.
It’s effective.
YES SAME
Meditation works flawlessly on pain control.
I can't sleep on my back. I just snore and wake myself up.
I learned it for pain relief and it didnt work, for insomnia, didnt work, most recently for trauma based anxiety, guess what? It didnt work and its called the Mitchell Method.
Mindfulness
Actually I learned that if you think of a memory instead of imagining something usually helps a lot more. You're using a different part of the brain when you're remembering a core memory rather than spending energy of creating new things. It definitely makes me fall asleep much faster
True the main reason why I stay awake is thinking of new scenarios
@@charidhermin5794 ye man its the thoughts of u beeing a badass to someone else and what you should have done but u didnt throughout ur day and u cant sleep
Must be nice having good memories
I always make up scenarios and then I end up falling asleep somehow, I don't remember anything by the time I wake up
@@PROCHIMNEY tbh what im using is as simple as a memory of me cycling around town, i always use that to sleep
This technique is the best. I couldn't sleep properly for the past 2 days but today I had a very good sleep. Haven't slept this peaceful in a while. Thanks
Agreed!
Only 2 days? I couldn't sleep for 89 years
@@gamerguyshortsYT7557Damm you are a ghost, thats why 💀 .
I have tried this many times. It hasn't worked even one time for me. It's one thing to have problems just for the occasional stress, but for people with true insomnia, or other sleep issues, it does nothing. I'm happy for the people it does help.
It doesn’t work for me, either.
yeah it doesnt work either. makes no sense how people just fall asleep like it is magic
Did you try it for 6 weeks like you’re supposed to ?

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!
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.
Congrats! Great to hear! Im gonna try it now and i hope i do it right
"Wah-lah"
Made me laugh
It’s ‘voila’
Girl, get rid of that kitty during nighttime. its hard at the beginnig, but you both will get used to. Good sleep is worth it. Sleeping with Oropax and fresh air around your nose will help as well.
This is actually what I use when my mind is racing and I can’t sleep. It works wonderfully! Now to figure out how to stay asleep…
I'm always thinking about literally everything when I'm trying to sleep, which keeps me awake for a long time. So I might try this!
@@SkipsenPB That is my problem, too. I find sleeping with the TV on helps because my brain has one thing to focus on instead of scattered thoughts.
@@becorations1 try not to use the TV to sleep. They say it’s one of the worst things you can do. What about trying a fan?
@@windermere2330 They are wrong. 😝 I’ve been told this before, but it’s what works for me. A fan does no good because my mind still races. A tv actually gives my brain something to “grab” so go speak. Otherwise, it will not shut up. My internet has gone in and out several times this week, and my sleep has been almost non-existent.
This doesn’t work for me because I can get the relaxation and breathing part done really well, except I can’t seem to stay asleep, any tips?
I actually have been doing this but didn’t realize it was a technique. I didn’t really know what to call it when you said imagine a warm feeling of relaxing every muscle, now I do. It’s a very relaxing technique
This is great, but what I need is something to get myself awake and out of bed in 2 minutes.

I remember doing this at yoga class. Ahh.. that 15 min sleep felt like 7hrs of sleep. You feel super energized after this.
Power napping, feels so revitalising - more often than 6hrs sleep.
For real?
So basically they copied yoganidra technique to label it as their own unique technique. Typical of westerners claiming everything preexisting in the world as an invention.
Thank you I was wondering where in the world I learned this. Was a book, introvert here and I read about Yoga in my 20s
Thank you..for.pointing out ..this is an standard yoga posture practiced for centuries
I'm using a similar technique, but in the morning to stop me from waking up and going to work. Works every time.

I have chronic insomnia. I had brain cancer, and my brain doesn't naturally make sleep hormones, so I physically cannot sleep without use of about 5 (or more some nights) sleep aids. My average bedtime is around 4 am.
I tried that, and it has helped on some particularly stubborn nights. It definitely doesn't take just two minutes for me, more like 10 or 15. It was your video I saw that got me to try it, so I appreciate it!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ha!!! so glad I’m not the only one. 😮😅
That is actually a positive if your aim is to lucid dream or astral project, and wanting to accomplish either or both should be common since they have many potential benefits. Sleep paralysis would be great from my perspective, but I have not experienced it for a good number of years.
I was taught this technique back in late 1986 or early 87 by a nurse from the hospital where my son was about to be born. It works!❤
I was taught that as well and in the same situation! Also, to slowly breathe in for five counts and exhale the same.
Not when your bed has tons of louses ready to suck your blood 😞😞😞
I could have been your son being born around that time 😂
I believe they call it Hypnobirthing. My wife did it and fell asleep right up to the point where our daughter came out.
It didn’t work the night your son was conceived 😂
Agreed it definitely works for me. Nice to see it spread to others I wondered how common this was. Had a buddy in the Army tell me this while we were at JRTC and changed everything for me because I always had trouble falling asleep when I was young😊
I definitely need this, I'm not able to focus on the activities i do regularly from past 2 weeks, gonna try this
*I'm in the military and they told us to do all of this but instead of "dont think" you count from 1 to 10 repeatedly, or whatever numbers you want just making sure it's a natural flow and it really works*
Counting soldiers or sheep gives the same results ;)
Or 10 to 1, inversaly
there are soldiers playing roblux?
@@thestone3849 down from 100 - if you're going to sleep you can notice yourself slipping off when you get it wrong - accidentally count upwards, usually about 97. Though there are nights when I have ground all the way down from 100, more than once. Also, imagining yourself feeling heavy helps, so heavy that you sink into the ground. And when you do the relax-your-body thing, it is good to include your tongue, the back of your tongue and your throat - it stops you talking yourself, I find.
@@DimitarBerberu😂😂😂 That's cute for some reason
Great! Now please tell the technique of how to not feel sleepy when you're studying or how to concentrate your mind when you try to study 😢
Listen to songs and boom all your laziness will go away
for some reason doing some push ups helps me to like get some energy rush and not feel sleepy
Cold shower. The number of blood cells in every part of your body will increase, thanks to which you will definitely not be tired afterwards. It works when your heart beats faster during the shower, which indicates that it is producing more blood cells.
Snore some coke
Btw preparing for jee!
Break it into sections and only study on 10min intervals with a 5 min break move up to 20 mins with a 5 min break
I've been doing similar to this for years, and it really works. I was an insomniac, but not any more.
Thanks, I'll give this a go.
I don't get home from work until 11pm, which makes it difficult for me to relax & go sleep at night.
It's important to be persistent with practice. I personally feel stressed when I try to fall asleep, I worry I won't be able to do so. But, with having a clear cut goal like this, I can think that even if I can't fall asleep, I will improve my skill to do so in the future. Which relaxes me, I hope it can for you too!
Lol - I’m getting anxiety just thinking of trying this 😂
@@sheiladanceme1885 Then don't think my friend, just do it.
same with me bro
Has it worked?
Yes
What I learned before was to also tense all your muscles up and then slowly let go and relax as much as you can, focusing on specific areas part by part from head to toe.
I saw that in a video recently. It seems like it would dovetail great with this technique!
Makes sense for young people but the muscle tensing doesn’t work welll for older people w arthritis or chronic pain
Tensing muscles releases adenozine which actually makes you stay awake longer
@@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.
@@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.
This is literally what i do on nights i have bad anxiety and it works like a charm. I had no idea it was an actual technique. I imagine i’m on a beach after relaxing all my muscles
This is the path to successful transcendental meditation as well. My mom taught me this when I was a little kid.
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.
Thanks mate so this actually true
I appreciate you.@@user-mo5jn2zh2r
The only technique that made me sleep really fast was being kept in a never ending loop of fatigue.
In those moments i was able to sleep i literally passed out. Never needed anythlike this 🙄
I wish they had taught this when I was in the Army back in the 70s. I will try it though. Reply to me and I'll respond and let you know. Thanks.
17 years in the Army and this has never been taught in any unit I've been in. Ever.

I saw this in a video from Mike shake a while ago, and I decided to start practicing it, for a really long time I thought it didn't work, but one day I realized that it actually does and now I can fall sleep in just a few minutes

Tried this a few weeks ago, relaxing my shoulders and arms was the game changer I needed. Literally fell asleep after 2 minutes. Can’t believe I never knew this all these years,thought I had major anxiety issues

When I discovered this in an article a few months ago I thought ‘haha yeah sure’…I don’t know what it is exactly about this process but holy cow, it knocks me right out every time even after years of insomnia
I could never imagined, that could sleep you need to relax... Amazing!!!!!!!! Discovering from the year..
For anyone interested, I started trying this about a week ago and already I have a lot more success sleeping faster and better. If I had to guess, it takes me like 5-10 minutes to fall asleep, and some nights I just won't be able to do it because I can't control distractions, but this is still MUCH better than what I had before, where it took me an hour to sleep and constantly wake up through the night,
Huh
I will tell you the best possible method. Learn some Psalms from Bible. When lying in bed say it mentally. If you get sleep it is better if you progress in Psalms it is even better.

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.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation is dope. Where my psychotherapists at!? 😂

@@-ripinpieces-8409I was thinking the same thing, but then something popped into my mind from a book I read years ago - I seem to recall it's a sort of backpack or rucksack, the kind of large one with multiple pockets the military use.

Listening to sleep meditation talks me through relaxation and breathing techniques I listen almost every night.
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.
I learned to do something similar in high school. When I worked do residential care for teens with mental health issues - there was a kid who hadn't had a good night of sleep in years (like barely more than 3 hours) due to extreme anxiety. Walked him through a meditation similar to this technique and he was out in minutes. Did it two nights in a row and slept through both nights. He was doing it on his own in two weeks, with only the occasional sleep issue from there.
Unfortunately I’m pretty much the same no matter what I do for the past decade or so ever since I got into my 30s I can only sleep 1-2hours a day after that my body will wake me up(also I’m immune to everything that has to do with anesthesia strong meds even specific types of poison )

Super eager to try this. Restless leg syndrome has been keeping me awake most nights for years. I am 80 and are fed up !
My technique for falling asleep is to close my eyes and imagine either a memory or a made-up scene/situation, and then I just keep going with it. After a few minutes I'm already knocked out and it always works. I say this in case it may be helpful for someone else because this progressive relaxation method doesn't work for me.

Thanks for this video. Some other things I've tried:
1) Listen to sleep guided meditation/sleep stories/easy audiobooks
2) Focus on breathing slowly: controlling my breath actually helped me control my thoughts
3) If you have a tendency to think of scenarios, use that to your advantage: create some relaxing mental scenes and replay them
4) Cut down sugar and don't consume chocolate/caffeine after 5pm
5) If you have a sedentary lifestyle, tire your body out a bit through exercise
6) Drink chamomile or other calming herbal fusions (not right before bed though as they can be diuretic)
7) A warm shower before sleep and cool room temperature helps.

This is actually strikingly similar to what my therapist had me do when I was suffering from insomnia. I wonder if he's former military or has military in his family.
Not likely since this isn't some super secret "military" thing anyhow. I spent 6 years in and 2 tours. Not one of us ever used some special technique. We fell asleep quickly because we were simply exhausted or loaded up on tylenol pm.And if we still couldn't go to sleep, they gave us ambien. While the technique may be legit, this guy is blowing smoke with this "special military" stuff.
almost every sleep meditation video uses this method too, this aint just for military
@@returntothepath I was born in 1914, I know this is true
@returntothepath ima have to agree...while I'm sure some shiny brass thought something similar was a good idea (they're always trying to fix the unbroken) most folks I served with took sleep when you could get it where you could get it and we certainly didn't need convincing. Kinda tired of everything being pushed as "super secret tactical spec ops techniques"
I have severe chronic neuropathy from losing my leg and messing up my spinal cord while in the Army. I have to take Ambien to sleep and many times I still can't sleep. I will definitely try this and leave an update. Cheers.
Imma just reply here in case there's an update
We need an update
Yes update!

Update time! I've tried it both nights. It probably took about 10 minutes but that's an improvement. I'll keep trying. Cheers!
Thank you this really helped me fall asleep in 2 minutes
calming urself under a whole lotta pressure being shot at is crazy
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.”
thx im gon try it - i can never sleep i just look at the ceiling for hours endlessly thinking 🥰
I make up a story to distract me from thoughts about anything stressful. My mother gave me the tip over 10 years ago and I have been doing it the majority of nights since. Most of the time I fall asleep so fast that the story doesn't progress.😅 I don't know if it already worked on the first night or if it took a while, but it's great.
Oh, thank you! Especially the part where it's ok to sleep. A really good reminder, especially for parents. ❤

Tensing and then releasing each muscle as you go down your body also is a powerful relaxation tool during this exercise.

Michael Rose - Yeah, me too. Sometimes I just get up and walk around for a few minutes and then go back to bed. That usually works. No idea why. Maybe it just stops what I call brain kaleidescope-ing. Thoughts just keep tumbling and I have a hard time stopping them, even with some kind of mantra.
I'll tell you the best method. By heart some Psalms and go through it when lying on the bed. The demons will put you to sleep much faster than you can think.
Same here, it always takes me hours to fall asleep
@@mitchliao2581 Try my method. What I wanted to say was that it is demons who don't let you sleep. But if you take the words of God they will think that it is better that you sleep.
Same, I can’t just lay down in the bed and say “ok time to sleep”
it is true and i deal with apnea now but still use it as long as your head is not too tilted back or too crooked forward leave palms down no propped arms or legs and focus on breathing you will be calm and calm mellow also for anxiety PTSD hold one nostril closed shut breathe in then let the air out of the opposite nostril and it is a sure fire way to relax you no meds needed
Apart of hypnotherapy method as well. As an induction this technique work very well.
The best technique Ive ever heard and which mimics the bodys natural falling sleep action that releases the chemical reaction which transfers you from awake to asleep, is this:
Very slowly, over 5-6 seconds close your eyes almost entirely, then again very slowly over 5-6 seconds open your eyes a tiny slit, then repeat. Its a subtle amount of slow movement. Typically you cant make it beyond 10 repetitions as it releases a heap of the chemical melatonin and you fall asleep without fail.
thanks, i'll try this right now!
@@no-one-1 did it work
@@Animallover24678 i never have sleep issues so idk if it made a difference or not
I just tried this but couldn't control myself laughing because the sensation of getting tired was so intense 😂 I felt it working so well, I almost fell out of the bed cuz idk...Sometimes, I just start laughing if I realise sth crazy. Will try now to fall asleep with it, maybe Imma update this comment once I wake up tomorrow:))
Edit: I am ten minutes in, still couldn't stop smirking all over my face lol, I really wanna know if there are psychological studies on such behaviour...It's the kind of smile I have when I see the moon and think of the crazy dimensions of its distance to earth, or when I see a raindrop on grass wonderfully reflect the light from the dawning sun etc.
I don't know... Got too focused on doing the slow movements and managed to be more awake
I follow a similar technique. I just start at my toes contract stretch release relax... I never make it past my knees, maybe to my hips! I love this technique and can't wait to try it! I carry a lot of stress and tension in my neck and shoulders, so starting at the top and working down makes total sense! Thanks!
We were taught to start at feet. Imagine a bright light shining on one foot, count to 10, then it snaps off. Do same with other foot, each leg, torso, hands, arms, etc up to head. I rarely get to the second hand.
Great techniques given , going to try it , I’m not a great sleeper never have been , thank you for explaining it so clearly.
I'm going to try this. It's hard to keep from thinking of stuff you have to do or sad past memories of people. Sometimes I think about my childhood home. I start inside the front door and explore each room, cabinet, closet, basement. Colors of the linoleum, wall telephone, knotty pine rec-room in the basement. That usually relaxes me and I'm out.
Also an excellent technique for anyone who wants to know how to draw out the instruction "relax your body and quiet your mind" to 2 full minutes of video.
The military technique to falling asleep in 2 minutes is to wake up at 4am, and stand there all day long doing nothing until dark, get back to your bed at 10pm, and then smash 6 shots of Sailor Jerry’s in 10 minutes because you have to be up at 4am again. Works every time.
Literally my dad when he was in.
OMG 😂 literal deep belly laughing followed by sobbing 😢 thank you to our service members for the incredible job they did in serving our country ❤
HaHa, funny, but useless information if your dealing with reality and want this process to REALLY work.
No shot I would be able to wake up
Muchas gracias! Ahora voy a poder dormirme a las 5:46 en lugar de las 5:48! Me cambiaste la vida
😂😂😂
😅😂
No uses el móvil pues.
De nada capo 👌
😂😂
😂
I remember being up for just over two plus days with no sleep while in the Army. It really works.
😂
Thank you sir im going to try at this
6 am here, the only guide with actual straight to the point process
One thing which is very important especially if your having troubles sleeping is laying on your back. When I changed my habit from sidesleeper to sleeping (or falling asleep) on my back I almost never have troubles falling asleep. I know it sounds a bit weird but i promise this works.
And then you get sleep paralysis and never sleep again, great technique thanks for sharing your brilliant idea !
It is the opposite for me. Sleeping on my side could instantly make me sleep
@@didji835Then you learn how to deal with sleep paralysis. It’s fairly rare when you sleep on your back I know because I’ve slept on my back for ages. You can actually induce sleep paralysis on your self
@@didji835 Me too on that sleep paralysis. I try to never fall asleep on my back. Seeing figures or faces right in front of you when you "wake up" is scary enough, but not being able to move a muscle for minutes is incredibly uncomfortable.
@@Rodytur10if you can get past that Scary part BOOM lucid dreaming baby. You can do anything you want. I’ve been dealing with sleep paralysis for my whole life. Always dreading those awful scary moments but well worth it if you can hit the next level !
Thanks for your excellent advice. I am an octogenarian and have used this technique for a very long time, except I have done it in reverse. Working from my feet to my head. Finally dosing off to thoughts of a relaxing beach viewed from overlooking cliffs. Sweet dreams. Bryan.
It works ! I tell my friends and family members about this all the time. They look at me strange. But catching z's while their minds are wondering and tossing and turning
I’ve been doing this for years. Each night I imagine a different colour of warm light flowing through my body. I suffer from anxiety and ptsd and the technique is amazing 🥰
Edit: Please don’t ask me to share what happened. It’s personal and not something I wish to share on social media.
I think it’s too invasive that people are asking questions about it 💝
What did you encounter in your life to suffer from PTSD if I may ask
Omg everyone in this comment section is using this because of trauma or anxiety and here I am using this method to fall asleep because it’s 3am and I’m to hungry to grab some cereal.
@@aleksacerovic6586 Childhood trauma mainly.
@@cookieism. Hahaha 😂😂😂
@@mandidepaor what happened
Tried this and I can say I'm currently sleeping as I type. Highly effective
Thanks , this is very helpful to fall asleep
thanks for the video and tips
Wooow! Works perfectly! Now I can finally fall asleep anytime and anywhere in just 2 minutes!
I have been doing this for a long time, not to go to sleep but ready my mind and body. Before every gig or anything a relaxed state will help. I have always started at my feet and worked my way up to my head. It is self-hypnosis and a state of mind that controls your body as well as your mind. The more you use it the better you become at getting into that state of mind.
After few nights, I got good at it. Definitely works!
This works for me thanks for sharing ❤
Hi Justin,
Thanks for explaining the military sleep technique clearly! I also like how you demonstrated the technique so I can see what it's like visually. Another thing I like to point out is that exercise throughout the day can also help us sleep faster.
Thanks,
Jason
