How easy is it to make yourself faint by pressing your fingers on the carotid arteries?

I tried hanging with a belt before today and could only block the jugulars, I wasn't using something very good just a belt and I was wondering if I could test the fainting safely with my fingers maybe lying in bed and see how it feels like so I know. Is it possible to apply enough pressure just with your hand or it's not doable? I heard you need 5kg of pressure and I'm not sure you can apply that with your hand only. Also sorry if this has been posted already I tried searching this question and didn't find it

Bro, I tried doing the exact same thing. In PE class when we had to check our pulse our teacher advised us not to use both sides of our neck because it will block the flow of blood into our brain. Then I thought hey maybe this is a good idea. I tried doing it for a short while and released my fingers when I felt pain because I instantly regretted it. Nothing happened after that. Sadly I have no idea how this can really work but I guess you need to keep your fingers pressed for a long time with as much pressure as possible. I may be wrong tho lol

That's also what I tried to do I localized the veins and tried pushing really hard and it just hurt but nothing happened. I wish it wasn't so hard to compress them.
