Sleeping is great, isn\u2019t it? It\u2019s incredibly good for our health, and it helps us to feel rested and able to cope with the demands of the day.<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s not always that simple. If you have a job which requires you to work night shifts, for example, you might be wondering how to sleep on demand. Let\u2019s find out!<\/p>\n

How To Sleep On Demand<\/h2>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

If only we could find a way to fall asleep that is more effective than counting sheep, and which helps drift into slumber quickly\u2026<\/p>\n

Well, luckily for those of us who far too often see the sun rise while those sheep are still jumping fences, there is!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s basically about relaxing both your mid and your body enough to fall asleep quickly and easily. With a little practise you\u2019ll be a professional at it.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s<\/a> a good article, explaining some easy ways to get your sleep on track.<\/p>\n

Is There A Way To Fall Asleep On Command?<\/h2>\n

It may not surprise you that the military has a great strategy to help people fall asleep very fast, whenever they want to.<\/p>\n

It takes a little time and practice, but this method was first used during WW2 to help pilots fall asleep through stress – after about 6 weeks they could sleep after drinking coffee, and surrounded by gunfire!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In a safe, comfortable position, relax your entire face (don\u2019t forget your jaws, tongue and cheeks too).<\/li>\n
  2. Drop your shoulders down, feeling the tension leave them, and let your hands relax by the side of your body.<\/li>\n
  3. Take a deep breath in, then exhale slowly, feeling your chest and stomach relax.<\/li>\n
  4. Tense the muscles in your thighs, then slowly let them relax. Do the same with your calves, ankles and feet.<\/li>\n
  5. Picture a calm, peaceful, relaxing scene in your mind. Do this for about 10 seconds. If you are still awake, say \u201cdon\u2019t think\u201d repeatedly, for about 10 seconds.<\/li>\n
  6. Repeat until you are asleep. After about 6 weeks of practise, you will be fast asleep within the first 10 seconds of picturing your relaxing scene.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This method involves a fair bit of dedication – you will have to practice the above steps every night consistently – but it should achieve the results you are looking for.<\/p>\n

    How Can I Force Myself To Sleep On Time?<\/h2>\n
