8. The hard part isn't tying a knot around one's neck

You can do that with bed sheets or clothing easily enough.

The hard part is not untying it as you run out of air.

Survival instinct normally kicks into high gear there.

So either the person has to be genuinely suicidal and have insufficient survival instinct in that moment, or they have to have planned to make it difficult to easily untie the knot. For instance, by tying their hands as well.

I'd rather not go into any more detail here, but I'm sure the internet spells out gory details elsewhere....
