Si funksionon?

Me rreth 11 milionë shikime, ky trend njihet si ‘Teknika Ushtarake’ apo Military Technique – kjo pasi ai thuhet të jetë formuluar nga Pilotët e Ushtrisë Amerikane për t’i ndihmuar ata të bien në gjumë shpejt që të zgjohen herët.

Hapi i parë është relaksimi i çdo pjese të trupit, duke nisur nga muskujt e fytyrës deri tek gishtat e këmbës. Dhe për ta bërë këtë mund të ndiqni hapat e mëposhtëm:

After lying in bed take deep breaths and try to relax every part of your body.

Start with the forehead muscles, then the eyelids, jaw and tongue. Relax your shoulders, letting your arms and hands rest freely on each side.

Next, imagine a "warm feeling" running from your head to your toes.

Relax your chest by taking a deep breath in and out.

Then continue with the legs, relax the thighs, calves, ankles and finally the feet and toes.

This should be the main focus and once we have done that, the second step is to relax the mind.

When the body is completely relaxed, what remains is to "cleanse" the mind of all kinds of thoughts. Something that helps is to visualize a relaxing landscape or scene.

If this doesn't work, the last step is to repeat the phrase 'don't think' for 10 seconds, and it is assumed that if you try this, after 10 seconds you will have fallen asleep.

Pros and cons

Well-being and sleep expert from eve Sleep, Dave Gibson, has given his opinion on this method and according to him, there is some truth in this method but some of the steps can have the opposite effect on some people.

"This technique makes sense to a certain extent, because by relieving any kind of tension in the body, you simultaneously allow both the body and the mind to completely relax - which of course helps with falling asleep. Visualization is also a technique that has been proven to work as it is a good way to distract your mind from other things that have happened during the day.

But – if that doesn't work, another tip is to repeat the word 'don't think' for 10 seconds and that won't work for everyone. Why? Because turning off the mind is something difficult and not everyone can do it easily. The idea of ​​repeating the phrase 'don't think' can also have the opposite effect by forcing the mind to perceive it as pressure." - he explains.

But according to Dave, this technique may take some time to perfect but is worth a try.

An alternative technique

Finally, he gives his personal tip that might work for you — even if it's less viral.

"If you don't want to try this trend, my advice would be to practice until you make it your own, the breathing technique - exhaling for a longer time than we take in.

So practice intervals of inhaling for a few seconds and exhaling for a few seconds longer. This regulates the heart rate and helps to reduce it while also relaxing the entire nervous system," he concluded.
