how to pass out from hyperventilation/shallow water blackout- PLEASE help

[PrincessInWhite]

When I try to hyperventilate and pass out I only "black out" for around 4-5 seconds, not nearly enough to drown. Idk how people do this. Please, any insight?

That's enough.

That's enough.

wouldn't you pull yourself out of the water when you come to?

You won't regain consciousness if you pass out in the water due to hyperventilation

I stayed standing up when I passed up though, so how do I get myself to fall in the water? I really wish there were an actual step by step for this method because I see potential in it

Alternate between hyperventilating & holding your breath for as long as you can

It depends on the person...

I spent two hours trying to SWB in the bath this morning. I don't think I got anywhere near passing out. I hyperventilated first, then laid face down in the water, resisting the urge to breathe for as long as possible. When I gave up and lifted my head out of the water, I tried again. I was able to stay submerged for longer than I thought on some attempts, but not long enough. I did doze off a couple of times while I was hyperventilating which was a bit annoying - why couldn't I have done that while I was submerged? I did fart in the water a few times as well - I thought that the SWB doesn't seem to be working, so perhaps I could gas myself instead, but no such luck! I think some practice hyperventilating is in order, although I am about to be made homeless, so I don't know when I will have access to a bath again. I suggest practising hyperventilating until you can pass out before you attempt SWB.
