HACK TO FALL ASLEEP SUPER FAST

A lot of people they wake up at like 2:00 or 3:00 a.m. in the morning, they don't know how to get back to bed, they start worrying. >> Best way to fall back asleep, you need to stop thinking about your body position. There's a dedicated circuit between your eyes, their movements, and your cerebellum. This guy back here. It's involved in balance, it's involved in learning. You need to kind of turn off your recognition of your own limbs to fall asleep. How do you do that? It turns out there's a pattern of eye movement that can shut down the proprioceptive circuits in the cerebellum, make you forget your limb

position, and it greatly facilitates the speed at which you fall back asleep. You're going to close your eyes. Great. You're going to move your eyes slowly to one side underneath your eyelids, then to the other side, >> Uh-huh. >> then up, then down. Now you're going to move them counterclockwise in a circle-ish, and then clockwise in a circle-ish. And now still with your eyes closed, you're going to kind of point them towards your nostrils, you're not going to cross your eyes, and you're going to do a long exhale. Great. That done two or three times generally

has people waking up the next morning and like, "Wild. What happens?" What happened is your proprioceptive circuits are shut down. That's kind of fun to do, and you'll see, and it costs nothing, and it generally works. Some people, if they're really, really stressed, it might not work, but this is what I do if I wake up in the middle of the night. I usually go to the bathroom, get back in bed, do long exhale breathing, and I do that, and I wake up the next morning. It really works well, and you fall right asleep.
