I am confused as to what, if anything, is the difference between the tourniquet method and the 'night night' method. In one thread somebody told me that night night was just a variation on tourniquet. But the night night mega thread describes night night as being painless and 100% effective if done properly. Whereas the tourniquet mega thread says it can be painful and there's a risk of failing and getting brain damage if you thrash about and the tourniquet comes off.
I understand that the night night method is essentially trying to produce a 'blood choke' on yourself by compressing the carotid arteries. Is the tourniquet method trying to do the same thing? And if so, then why is tourniquet thought to be more painful and more risky?
I am very limited in what methods I can do due to my situation. I have a chronic illness and live with my family. I don't think I could get, for example, sodium nitrite without them finding out. Not sure I could get the right materials for the night night method either. So I might be left with tourniquet.... but I really don't want to risk brain damage.
