LPT : Struggling by to fall asleep? Try this military technique

LPT: ever had those nights where you just can’t seem to fall asleep, no matter how tired you are? Here’s a trick used by the military to help you drift off in just 2 minutes.

1.	Relax Your Face: Start by letting go of all the tension in your face. That means your tongue, jaw, and the muscles around your eyes.


2.	Drop Your Shoulders: Let your shoulders fall as low as they can go. Then, relax your upper and lower arms, one side at a time.


3.	Breathe Out and Relax Your Chest: Take a deep breath and let it out slowly, relaxing your chest as you do.


4.	Relax Your Legs: Start with your thighs and let the relaxation flow down to your feet.


5.	Clear Your Mind: Now that your body is relaxed, it’s time to clear your mind . Do this by repeating “don’t think, don’t think, don’t think” for about 30-60 seconds. 

With a bit of practice, this technique can help you fall asleep quickly, even in the most stressful situations.

Hope this helps you catch those much-needed Z’s! 😴
