The Last Guide You'll Ever Need To Fall Asleep Faster
It was a normal Friday evening just a couple of years ago (when I was 14) I remember I had just came home from school, and I, like most other teenagers at that age, were scrolling. On instagram. I had been mindlessly scrolling for a couple of hoursโฆ Until I came across this one reel. โDo THIS Technique To Fall Asleep In Under 2 Minutes!!โ The title captivated my attention, and so I watched through the video. It was of this guy, who had โclaimedโ to learn techniques from the army. And these techniques claimed to make you fall asleep in under 2 minutes. I then tried this out, Guess what? Didnโt work. I then exited out of Instagram, went onto YouTube and searched: โHow to fall asleep fasterโ โHow to fall asleep instantlyโ I kept going from video to video. On ALL of these techniques, habits, things you could do. all on falling asleep faster. I mustโve gone through HUNDREDS of those videos, skimming through for value. And trying out certain various different techniques, habits. Hell, I was even considering asking my parents to buy me some fancy, high-tech mattress which would allow me to fall asleep โinstantlyโ (even though they wouldnโt) Before I know it, I check the time: 12AM Itโs time for bed. I then remember โOh yeah thatโs right, I can just do this technique and Iโll fall asleep really fastโ I then did the technique, it was some form of breathing/visualisation technique. Guess what? I was up for another HOUR just doing this. I checked the time again, 1AM. And there was no sign of me being able to fall asleep. I started to then worry and panic. โHow the hell am I gonna be able to fall asleep??โ My mind felt like a brick, with all the thoughts layered ontop, just keeping me awake. I also noticed that I didn't even feel that tired at all. Because my mind was racing, I was energized (even though I shouldn't've been) And, the temperature was quite hot. And there were multiple night-lights in my room, all blinding my eyes.
