A lot of people struggle to fall asleep.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of the things that might cause the most anxiety is lying in bed with your mind racing and counting down the hours before you have to get out of bed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The most annoying thing is that no matter how hard you try, sleep only seems to elude you more and more.<\/p>\n

However, a military-inspired technique that promises to put individuals to sleep in under two minutes is currently trending on the internet.<\/p>\n

One writes:\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m a military brat and was taught this. I also had a veteran psychology teacher in college who taught this. It definitely works.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another adds:\u00a0\u201cI\u2019ve got really bad insomnia and nothing works. I get some sleep with a lot of meds, but I never wake up rested. I\u2019m trying this tonight.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

While a third attests:\u00a0\u201cMy mom taught me this and I taught my children. My son has many challenges, and this helps him relax and fall asleep quickly, he\u2019s 9.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is the military\u2019s sleep protocol, then?<\/p>\n

Well, as reported by\u00a0Glamour,\u00a0\u201cIt was created specifically for soldiers in the US military and is geared to work even in intense environments\u2014like a literal battlefield.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Medium, American track & field coach Lloyd Bud Winter clarifies it in his 1981 book\u00a0\u201cRelax and Win: Championship Performance.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

More importantly, how do you apply this technique in your own home?<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Forces, there are six easy steps to follow.<\/p>\n

You have to first de-stress your entire face. Shut your eyes. Take deep, deliberate breaths. Then, gradually release every muscle in your face.<\/p>\n
