Wake-up Therapy

[Guest guest]

Hi, I want to share with you a technique that I developed out of

experience which apparently reduces sleepiness and drowsiness

without the use of caffeine or medication.

 

The technique can be done at will, but I prefer doing it whenever I

start feeling slightly sleepy. It involves shutting my eyelids

firmly for 1 to 5 seconds, depending on how sleepy or drowsy I am.

For the upper eyelids, it is important to greatly employ the part of

the eyelid muscles just beneath the eyebrows to press the upper

eyelids against the lower eyelids, otherwise the technique will not

be very yielding. Notice that the eyebrows themselves don't actually

move, and the technique would be pretty tedious if they did. I also

found it easier to keep my mouth slightly open and relaxed. With

little practice, this technique became a part of my subconscious

mind, pretty much like eating, drinking, or breathing.

 

The advantages I felt using this technique are incredible, for it

solved the worrying problem of sleepiness and drowsiness during the

day. It seems that this technique discharges a build-up of stress,

mostly from the part of the eyelids just beneath the eyebrows, and

the results may greatly boost satisfaction and performance in life.
