Falling asleep quickly is a struggle many people face.
One of the most stressful experiences is lying awake in bed, thoughts racing, while the clock counts down the precious hours of rest before morning. And the harder you try to sleep, the more elusive it seems.
Now, a sleep trick reportedly used by the military is going viral online, and it claims to help people fall asleep in just two minutes — with an impressive success rate of 96%.
Viral Success Thanks to a Fitness Influencer
The technique has gained popularity thanks to fitness and wellness content creator Justin Agustin, who has been promoting the method on his TikTok page.
Agustin says the approach can send you to sleep in under two minutes — and according to the feedback he’s received, it seems to work for the vast majority of people who try it.
People have flooded the comments on Agustin’s post with personal stories of success. One user shared, “I’m a military brat and was taught this. I also had a veteran psychology teacher in college who taught this. It definitely works.”
Another commented: “I’ve got really bad insomnia and nothing works. I get some sleep with a lot of meds, but I never wake up rested. I’m trying this tonight.”
Someone else wrote: “My mom taught me this and I taught my children. My son has many challenges, and this helps him relax and fall asleep quickly — he’s 9.”
