Military sleep method which works for 96% of people can send you to sleep in two minutes

The actual question is, will you be among the 96% of those who can use this military technique to fall asleep in two minutes?
All of us have experienced it, or at least, those of us who experience high levels of anxiety have. As we lay in bed, exhausted beyond belief, our minds raced, making it impossible for us to go asleep. We reached for the sinister blue lights on our phones, thinking to ourselves, “If only there was a way to fall asleep instantly?”
It turns out that there is, albeit given who I am, I’ll probably be in the unfortunate four percent for which it doesn’t work. Nevertheless, perhaps there is still hope for you.

Though science hasn’t yet developed a “on-off” switch for our brains, there is a military sleep technique that may be the next best thing.
Fitness instructor Justin Agustin used his platform to spread the word about this technique, which he claims works for an astounding 96 percent of individuals and can even put you to sleep in under two minutes.
How then does it operate?
The US Army, it seems, created the method primarily for “fighter pilots who need 100% of their reflexes” and for combatants who must be able to nod off in noisy, demanding environments.
You will go to sleep in a matter of minutes if you settle in and pay attention to your breathing.
Once you’ve mastered that area, you may begin to’shut it down’ by gradually relaxing your entire body, beginning with your forehead and facial features.
Make every effort to ensure that nothing is tight and that your arms are relaxed by your sides.
Feel the warmth rising from your head to your fingertips. Then, relax your chest by taking a deep breath; then, relax your thigh, stomach, legs, and feet.

You must visualize the warm feeling traveling from your heart to your toes.
Finally, the difficult portion.
Ideally, you should be free of any tension in order to aid in your own sleep.
Picture yourself in a cozy spot, such as curled up in a velvet hammock or relaxing on a heated boat on a serene lake.
For 10 seconds, tell yourself to “don’t think” if you are experiencing intrusive thoughts about the time you told a waiter to enjoy your dinner and you feel like you’re thinking about something else.
Hopefully, you will be able to fall asleep after this.
Though Agustin’s video may seem too wonderful to be true, comments on it show that there is some validity to the approach.
“I’m a military brat and was taught this,” one commenter said. This was also taught by a seasoned psychology professor I had in college. It is undoubtedly effective.”
Another said: “Pretty sure this is closer to what is called Progressive Muscle Relaxation which was developed by an American physician in 1908.”
And that’s it – pleasant dreams!

All my left socks kept disappearing—when I found out why, my heart nearly stopped.

The Mystery of My Missing Socks Led to a Heartwarming Surprise

At first, I thought it was just one of those things—socks disappearing in the laundry. Everyone jokes about dryers “eating” them, right?

But something felt off. It wasn’t random pairs going missing; it was always one sock from several pairs.

As a single dad raising my son, Dylan, in a quiet home without many visitors, I started to wonder—was he somehow behind this? But why on earth would he need only one sock from each pair? It didn’t make sense.

Curiosity got the best of me, so I set up an old nanny cam in the laundry room, determined to catch the culprit.

The next morning, as I sipped my coffee and reviewed the footage, I nearly spilled my cup all over the keyboard.

There was Dylan, sneaking into the laundry room, carefully selecting a sock from my newest pair, tucking it into his school bag, then putting on his coat and heading out the door.

I had to know what he was up to.

So, I decided to follow him.

Dylan walked towards a part of town I rarely drove through—a struggling neighborhood with rundown houses. He stopped in front of one of them and knocked confidently, as if he had done it countless times before.

I kept my distance, watching as an elderly man in a wheelchair answered the door.

Then, I heard my son’s voice:

“I got you some new fancy socks!”

I must have shifted my weight because at that moment, both Dylan and the old man turned to look at me.

“Dad, I can explain,” Dylan said quickly, worried I might be upset.

But I wasn’t. I was just trying to piece together what I had just witnessed.

The old man wheeled closer, smiling warmly. “You must be Dennis. Your son has been making sure my leg stays warm on these cold days.”

That’s when I noticed—he only had one leg.

A former Navy officer, he had lost touch with his family when his children moved abroad, leaving him alone.

One day, Dylan had met him by chance while walking to school, and from that moment on, he made sure the man was never without a warm sock for his foot.

“Are you mad, Dad?” Dylan asked hesitantly.

I shook my head, overwhelmed with pride. “No, son. I’m just really proud of you.”

From that day forward, Dylan and I visited the old man regularly, helping him with errands and keeping him company.

A few missing socks had led to a beautiful friendship.
