Master the military sleep method

August 16, 2025

FOR many frequent flyers, a good in-flight nap can be the elusive dream of air travel. Navigating the crowded terminals, the harsh sound of announcements and the constant buzz that comes with being on the are a far cry from the peaceful rest one might find at home.

But what if there was a way to enhance your chances of drifting off into a refreshing slumber at 30 000 feet? Enter the military sleep method, a game-changer that promises to transform your travel fatigue into a peaceful escape.

Originally developed by Bud Winter, an illustrious Olympic sprint coach and sports psychologist, the military sleep method has taken social media by storm, with claims that it can help you fall asleep in under two minutes.

Inspired by a technique designed for US Navy pilots, Winter's method arose from the need for aircrews to rest quickly despite the high-stress environments in which they operated.

This revolutionary approach is not only effective for elite athletes and pilots but is also perfect for travellers seeking a moment’s peace amid the chaos of modern travel.
