Requesting a RIF?

Has anyone here ever actively tried to get RIF'd? How did you go about that?

Current role is tolerable enough to keep going without completely sacrificing health (ie not an urgent impetus to quit outright, not pulling 3AM every night or anything) but definitely want to transition soon

However finding it difficult to study and recruit for other roles while in this one, so in a bit of an un-sweet spot

Currently feel that being RIF'd and getting a few months to lock in applying for new jobs would be worth it, albeit understand there are significant risks

However I am willing to take the risks here. Wondering if anyone has felt similarly / how you navigated that. Thank you
