Method The "night-night" method mega thread.

[EmotionlessWanderer]

I'm gonna get a hotel. Don't want any chance of someone coming home.

I'm glad this method is so cheap. Everything cost less than 20 bucks.

How will you spend your last day btw?

I'll probably just jump straight ahead to CTB. Maybe I'll eat out someplace and watch a few episodes of my favorite anime beforehand.

You might want to think about and practice not pinching your skin into the ratchet mechanism, if you do manage to do that, SI will kick in in a hurry.

Thanks for the advice.

I know others have said this before but I'm still stuck on trying to find the 'sweet spot' with my fingers. I have a thin neck and can easily find the pulse, but pushing inwards doesn't seem to do anything. Is it supposed to be painful?

 

[2 be or not]

@foreversleep No:

I found the right position for sure, got the the narrowing vision and tingling sensation, no pain what so ever just some pressure, I was close

 

[DeadManWalking]

This is a really appealing method, but considering its low cost, easy availability, and painlessness, I'm skeptical. It seems as though it'd be far more common if it were reliable.

A long time ago i heard about a woman in prison who did this but more primitive; she took a pice of cloth and made two knots on the middle and tied it around her neck and actually died very quickly.

So im going with this methode when its my time.

 

[blvck]

I tried this tonight. I wrote out my letter and everything. But I used some tank tops rolled up because i didnt want to waut for something to come in the mail. i used duct tape and stretched it tight around my neck and laid there for a minute to see if i felt myself losing conciousness. But nothing happened....Maybe Im another one of those that has trouble finding the carotid. i know where they are- I can feel the pulse, but i cant cut of the circulation.


I'm super dumb,can soneone draw a diagram please

 

[nooo2]

This is a method I'm looking into as well, I still don't quite get how to do it and everyone seems to not be able to do this.

 

[snowman626]

Just read through the entire 8 pages. This is THE method I'm going to use. Fast, painless, cheap, doesn't leave a mark, easy to carry out, everything I look for with a good method is here. I wonder why this method isn't more common though? I've been searching for a good method for years and only stumbled upon it now here. Just wish there was a way I can test this method out properly without risking death.

An important thing is since this method could result in brain damage I think it's a good idea if you don't want to risk waking up as a vegetable to find a nice secluded place in the wilderness, some place where nobody will find you for at least a few months.

I'm pretty sure I know where my carotids are now, everything I read on them matches up with where I feel a blobbing pulse on the sides of my windpipe under my jaw. But no matter how I press on them nothing happens. I've been trying so many methods of compressing them, at least just to try to get myself to pass out to make sure it works, but nothing happens. I've closed the ratchet as tight as it will go with the bags in what I think are the right spots, and I've tried a bunch of different spots, and nothing at all happens. Had the strap at the top of my neck over where the arteries should be, and tried different spots too, I felt nothing no matter where it was.

The things I can think of that might affect it:

-I have a really short and thin neck (I weigh 45kg and don't know my height but I'm short as hell) and have just about no fat on my neck

-I take blood thinners (it's a side-effect, I need them though) though I've been taking as little as possible around attempts

-I don't have an adam's apple. I don't really know what it is other than that I don't have, so this might be reaching

Could any of those affect it? Maybe something else? I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I hoped this would've been easy since I have such a thin neck.

I wonder why this method isn't more common though? I've been searching for a good method for years and only stumbled upon it now here.

I wondered the same thing, the only results online for killing yourself are awful because they're either highly likely to fail, unreasonably painful and/or difficult to do, or both. But this one is surprisingly hard to pull off, as you can see from all the people struggling with it. I can see why people wouldn't recommend it, I've been spending countless hours a week on it for the past month and still can't come close to doing it.

 

[bigj75]

About to do a test run.

 

[EmotionlessWanderer]

About to do a test run.

Don't accidentally die.

Jk that might not be a bad thing.

[bigj75]

This was definitely the closest feeling i had to it. Almost couldn't get the shit off so I'll definitely have to keep practicing.

when you tighten the ratchet you feel absolutely nothing? or do you feel something (eg: vision blur, the head pressure feeling) but it just doesn't intensify enough for you to pass out?

look at the visual below, did you try it and did it work? I tried this and within 10 seconds or so my vision starts to blur and my whole head feels a lot of pressure. I don't have the ratchet and bean bag yet but I assume it's going to be easy to recreate that same feeling, and if I keep it going I'll be unconscious within another 30 seconds or so.

I placed the beanbags in the wrong area i think.

would it be better to get a big or smaller bean bag?

 

[bigj75]

The 6 inch ones are the ones recommend to get in the op. Those are the ones i bought.

I make sure the ratchet is in the right spot and tighten it until I can't possibly make it tighter, lock the ratchet or whatever it's called I forget, then nothing whatsoever happens. No blurry vision or lightheadedness or anything, it's surprisingly comfortable compared to what I'd expect having a fully-tightened ratchet to feel like. One time I had trouble getting the ratchet off so I sat up and reached for my phone, lied down while I waited two minutes for it to boot, then another five looking it up before I got it off. If it weren't for the ratchet and strap against my neck I wouldn't have noticed, and I wouldn't have minded it so much if having the ratchet against the back of my neck weren't so uncomfortable. Speaking of, if anyone has any ideas for not feeling that against your neck I'd love to hear them. Wish trying it other ways didn't go just as poorly.

I'm terrible at learning things from visuals, but I haven't been able to get anything from that no matter what I try. I also tried just pressing and holding while standing, sitting up, lying down, both light and medium pressing, and nothing happens.

At this point I'm really screwing something up and I don't know what

 

[bigj75]

Go slow

 

[Minudah]

Of all things I was finally able to get that feeling with a scarf I put knots in. It was surprisingly easy to get the knots in the right spots and I get really dizzy as soon as I tighten the scarf. The knots do an infinitely better job of pressing on the carotids for me than the cornhole bags with ratchet did. I had all week I could've gone but today and tomorrow aren't good days, I'm thinking I'll give this scarf idea a try on Sunday and see how it goes. I'm excited I might not have to go with a ratchet on the back of my neck, which is cold and uncomfortable and kept pinching my neck. The scarf is totally comfortable, and I have reason to be confident this'll work. Has anyone else tried this? I can't remember where I read about it, but people didn't seem to take it too seriously.

If I recall 3 guys on this thread disappeared after saying they'll try it, so maybe

I like the scarf with knots idea. you really don't need the ratchet. I tried it with just underwear rolled up as the knots and using my t-shirt as the scarf and it works just fine. the only thing is this might be a lot easier to undo, and so if there's any kind of unconscious body movement you can potentially rip it off and risk surviving with brain damage. using a ratchet is a lot harder to tear off so it ensures it stays on

This video still shocks me how easy it was

I keep falling asleep as I read this thread, but I can't find wherever that was in this thread no matter how many times I look. Oh well, I can always try again in the morning if anything goes wrong. I'm going to try to ctb with the scarf idea when I get up.

Thanks to everyone for all the help and advice, and thanks @Kooz for the explanations in this thread. I've wanted to ctb for most of my life but kept failing attempt after attempt without access to good methods, really wish I knew about this when I was a kid. I badly needed something this accessible and unrisky, and the painlessness is an added bonus.

 

[JohnnyDoe]

Thanks for this. I have already looked into this and have a ratchet strap available. I have a problem though, i cannot find anywhere on the front of the neck that doesn't cause pain/discomfort and am nowhere near to blacking out. What am I doing wrong. I know its the sides that need to compress but I cannot find a way to compress enough without causing serious discomfort above the adams apple. Any thoughts?

Really? Are you lying down or sitting up? Make sure your head is tilted upwards when performing this.

 

[JohnnyDoe]

Body laid flat, head propped up approx 45 degrees. Just practising really but have never got past swollen head and tingling lips. Strap just seems to find adams apple constantly for feeling of crushed windpipe. Very uncomfortable.

You can try below the adam's apple, but it may require more force.

Fuck! Man this method sounds simple but yae execution is tougher than expected. Gotta keep trying. Personally second guessing this but I'll try one more time.

 

[Minudah]

Has anyone been able to get this to work? Is this the method we think Prime used to ctb? https://sanctioned-suicide.net/threads/ligature-strangulation.6791/

I've been trying it all day without anything to cover my neck, just using plain old cotton rope exactly like the description calls for, but haven't been having any luck with it. I don't know if it's because I have no idea where to tie the bottom knot or what, maybe I'm screwing up since I don't have an Adam's apple so I don't know where the bottom knot goes idk. I can't find anything about this method elsewhere and don't know what I'm doing wrong, I would've thought it would've been even easier without the handkerchief just for preventing rope burn.

Also, do we have a list of all carotid compression methods? Only ones I know of are the one I just mentioned, cornhole bags like in the op of this thread, tourniquet method, continuous wraparound method, tying up scarves, and something about hanging. I've slowly gone through all of these except hanging with no success.
