How It Works:

Developed by Lloyd Bud Winter in his book “Relax and Win: Championship Performance”, the method focuses on deep physical relaxation and mental calmness.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Get in a Comfortable Position

    • Lie flat on your back (or in your preferred sleep position).

    • Relax your face completely (forehead, jaw, tongue, and around the eyes).

    • Let your eyelids feel heavy.

  2. Release Tension from Head to Toe

    • Drop your shoulders as low as possible.

    • Relax your arms, hands, and fingers (let them go limp).

    • Exhale deeply and relax your chest.

    • Loosen your legs, thighs, and calves.

    • Imagine your body sinking into the bed.

  3. Clear Your Mind for 10 Seconds

    • Avoid active thinking—if thoughts arise, gently push them away.

    • Visualize one of these calming scenes:

      • Lying in a canoe on a still lake with a clear blue sky above.

      • Cozy in a pitch-black room with a soft hammock.

    • Alternatively, repeat the phrase “Don’t think, don’t think, don’t think” for 10 seconds.

Why It Works:

  • Combines progressive muscle relaxation (used in meditation and yoga).

  • Forces mental distraction away from stressors.

  • Slows heart rate and breathing, signaling the body to sleep.

Tips for Success:

✅ Practice daily—it may take a few weeks to master.
✅ Avoid screens before bed (blue light disrupts sleep signals).
✅ Pair with deep breathing (inhale 4 sec, hold 7 sec, exhale 8 sec).

Many users report success with this method, though individual results vary. Give it a try tonight! 😴
