I've recently taken to what I call "advanced breathing techniques."
You see, while holding your breath for extended periods of time will leave you heaving, holding your breath for several seconds after every breath doesn't. This lets you reduce the oxygen in your blood until your heart slows down and your brain thinks less because of the lack of oxygen, so you fall asleep.
So, to recap:
>lie on your back
>breathe deeply, making sure to puff your belly and lungs
>exhale calmly while gradually relaxing those two
>give it a few seconds until the next breath
>adjust the time between exhaling and inhalinfg to what you find adequate

Note: this could be entirely placebo and I'm an idiot.
Note 2: this method is in no way recommended for people with breathing or heart problems
Note 3: the author has no knowledge of whether or not the reduced oxygen can cause brain damage, but he assumes it doesn't
