What happens physiologically to make someone unconscious during this kind of hold? How do you know you’re not suffocating someone or causing serious damage?
In: 53
The purpose of a sleeper hold is not to cut off air to the lungs, but to cut off blood to the brain. You squeeze from both sides, not from the front. Call it around 10:30 and 1:30 if it were a clock face. It only takes a few seconds to make someone lose consciousness, with no known long term consequences, at least when conducted properly.
