Resource Night night method my set up, findings and process.

[BurningLights]

Possible resource? Not sure, any mod wants to change it feel free.

As a quick disclaimer, I fucking suck at explaining things, I'm gonna do my best to make this as clear as possible, but it might just be a mess, but here goes...

My 'rig'

It's a 1 inch strap, I cut a lot of excess strap off, as you can't wind the whole lot up, there's kind of a sweet spot for the length, but as long as you get it over your head, and tighten it without it binding up your good.

I have used two pieces of rolled up sock material for my 'padding', this took a bit of figuring to get to this point. I was able to block the carotid with my fingers but not with the larger padding, so I tried to imitate my fingers with the rolled up material.
This was a pain in the ass, trying to get the padding to stay in place, as they are quite small.
To help with this, I have duct tape them to the strap. What you can't really see is HOW I have done it, I'll try and explain..
First of I got my roll of duct tape, and used half the width, so tore it down the middle.
I then wrapped a piece round the strap, so I have a somewhat free moving 'base' to attach the socks. (Does that make sense?)
Imagine wrapping a piece of tape round your finger, that what it should look like.
I then cut a piece of sock material, and rolled to the size one of those camera film pots (2inchs long by 1inch wide) this may need A piece of tape keeps it rolled up.
Then I simply placed the paddings on the tape wrapped round the strap, VERTICALLY, (this is very important for me to get the sweet spot) and wrapped a length of tape round to hold it in place.
Now I have a strap with two bits of padding that can move up and down the strap, this great because I can make fine adjustments to get dead on the sweet spot!

Now, getting the sweet spot. This was a pain in the ass and I just figured out last night that the trick is to hold your neck back, as if your pushing the front of your neck forward, (show me your Adams apple!!)
This feels like it pushes the carotid to the front.
This could be a problem, as when I tilt my head forward, it will release the pressure, this a double edged sword. On one hand its good, it means I can adjust the padding with the strap pretty fucking tight, then all I have to do is one more crank and lean my head back and I'm gone.
On the other hand, if I move while passing out / dying I there is I'd chance of releasing the pressure. I'll get to that one that times comes ( you get only get one practice I would have thought)


The carotid is more up the top of the neck, (please see the mega thread NIGHT NIGHT METHOD for info on this.)
So this means we can sit the strap under the sweet spot, so we can feel for it while the strap is still round the neck.

I highly recommend getting to know your neck area, getting a feel for all the stuff inside, the muscles, the carotid, where it sits in the neck, where it pushes up against etcetera. You should be able to block both with just your fingers, ( and a fair bit of pressure)

I've practiced and practiced, I can mark on my neck the exact point I need pressure.
Become an expert on your neck!

So we're almost ready, rig made, and round our neck, we know what we're looking for in the neck, let's get to it!! (I've rambled long enough)
Now sit your padding under the area of the carotid, so it's out the way, ONE SIDE AT A TIME you then want to find your sweet spot, (this may take a bit faffing, bit its doable) now, keep your finger there, feel your fingers on neck, remember where you felt the finger on your neck, burn this feeling into your brain, you then want to move the padding on to where you felt your fingers (I'm using some kind of touch memory for this process)
Do the same for the other side.

You should now have a pretty tight strap round your neck with the padding on the carotid, you should be able to apply pressure to the padding (just by pushing on it) and make yourself feel fucking weird. Do this till your hearts content, be confident I it. At this point you should be able to tilt your neck back and feel the pressure. Depending on how tight the strap is. You want it tight enough so it's somewhat uncomfortable, but still able to do stuff.

So that's all that I've learned through trial and error, I'm confident I will get this done. I hope this explains well enough!!

Much love and hugs to all

Good work

Do you get eye pressure and tingling in your lips when you do it?

I wouldn't say I get major eye pressure. It is possible to get both arteries / veins, so you can get the explodey head feeling and pass out.
The tingling lips, yes! Its as if my how body is tingling! Very surreal feeling, if youre dead on the carotid, them you shouldn't feel any pressure.

cool. The peaceful thing about it when actually going through it doesn't seem like you are dieing, if you know what I mean.

Oh definitely, its like a intense rush, I'm sure before you even know it you'll be out like a light, I might try and time it, give people a good idea on how long, although it's generally about 10seconds.

Thanks so much for sharing. This is probably the method that I'm going to go with, and you definitely can't have too much information when it comes to something like this.

No worries, I hope it clears things up/ gives more info. I'm glad you found it useful. Good luck, remember to get to know your neck and your carotid.
Peace and much love <3

Thank you for showing this. You explained things perfectly. It's also good to see what everything looks like once it's all set up and ready to go.

On the other hand, if I move while passing out / dying I there is I'd chance of releasing the pressure. I'll get to that one that times comes ( you get only get one practice I would have thought)

I was thinking a lot last night about this kind of setup too and the chance of releasing the pressure is a great concern. I am thinking to test it I could apply enough pressure so as not to pass out and then make wild head/neck movements to see if it all stays in place.

When ctb I would like to sit on the bed, apply pressure and then lie down before fainting. I'm totally not sure if that would work. And if convulsions could release the pressure of the paddings.

 

[Didymus]

Oh I see now BurningLights was last seen 3rd Dec. So he probably managed to CTB.

 

[therhydler]

Thanks for sharing this! I think I'm too clumsy to get this method right anyway but it other things fail I might try it

 

[FML0000000]

Great write up and set up. Yours looks very similar to mine only you much more clearly described it than I did (in the other thread) and we're also able to post a picture.

I went "night night" for 34 minutes while testing my set up. I must've gone from thinking, "gah! It's not working!" to waking up over half an hour later in what felt like seconds.

My opinion is that this is an accessible/inexpensive, very easy going and peaceful method so long as you take time to set up, position, practice and otherwise prepare properly.

wait what? How did you wake up if it was still on your neck?

If you have successfully caught the bus, then rest in eternal peace.

This is my method.

Ah so easily explained i need to make something similar. thx

This is incredibly helpful so thanks. I have exact same strap and have now attached sliding rolls as you have. Still struggle to find sweet spot but that will happen . Found this very clear and easy to follow

Omg just found the sweet spot. God you really do know it when you find it! Just pushed with fingers and world instantly spun

 

[Hennessy]

Haha! Who is that man applauding?

Rest in peace BurningLights.

mg why is it so easy for everyone else. what am i doing wrong

Not easy. Taken me months. What I did was sit on a sofa and put head right back so it was very nearly upside down. Imagine having dental work done On a sofa. That pushed neck out and I found a stronger pulse than I'd felt before. Actually for me much more to sides than I had thought. When I pushed with fingers could tell straight away. Not managed to replicate with rope or tie down strap yet tho

 

[snowman626]

what about the repercussions if this method fails, any chance of waking up paralyzed? like, if I wrap the ratchet tight enough to go unconscious but maybe through some involuntary body movements the thing becomes loosened not all the way but just enough to lower the pressure on the artery, then blood flow to the brain is not enough to live but not enough to die either?

 

[EmotionlessWanderer]

I just ordered an endless ranchet strap. I'm going to see if I have better luck with it than the hooked ones which seem to always want to come apart at my neck.

Main reason for hanging failure is because of being saved before death. I doubt failure is possible if you are alone after passing out.

How would it come lose? The ratchet is pretty secure, you'd have to hit the release on purpose. It's not something you could just undo from thrashing while unconscious.
