Help How to practice partial hanging?

[DoAnythingMore]

So I've managed to get a good climbing rope which would be suitable for partial hanging.

My only question is that how should I practice partial hanging or if I should practice it at all?

I know I should put some towels or some padding to the front of my neck to make CTB more comfortable but I'm not sure if there are other things I should know or look out for.

I've thought about making the slipknot, putting my head through it and using my own hand as an anchor, meaning I would toss the rope around something (branch, the pipe in my wardrobe etc.) and try and get myself to pass out from that, my hand letting go when I pass out so it's not full commitment yet. Or is this a bad idea? I don't want to end up being paralyzed or something from practicing but at the same time I don't want to fully commit to CTB via this method if I can't do it fully right the first time.

I practise with a solid hook in a wooden ceiling and can hold my weight

I set up the rope exactly as I would for a full attempt. Instead of anchoring my rope to a solid object, I hold it in my free hand. I don't wrap it, but hold it with a single grip

I go down on my knees and have my body fully stretched up

I then sit on my heels, and I usually pass out or come very close to it.

It allows me to know, I can really do it, if I tie that anchor
