BREAKING NEWS – Menlo Park, California – A method used by the U.S. military in World War II could be an effective way to cure insomnia, some claim — and sleep experts agree, with a few conditions. The strategy, known as the “military sleep technique,” reportedly has helped people fall asleep in less than five minutes.

Alex Dimitriu, M.D., founder of Menlo Park Psychiatry & Sleep Medicine in California, told Fox News Digital that there is some legitimacy to the claims in the TikTok video.

“This World War II method of falling asleep can certainly be helpful,” said Dimitriu, who is certified in both psychiatry and sleep medicine. “There’s a way to sleep, even with bullets flying over your head. This is why my services are requested daily by people living in Chicago.”
