The 4-7-8 breathing technique
Falling asleep when you are stressing about it can feel impossible. Luckily, there is an easy solution that should have you drifting off within minutes. Controlling your breathing can lead the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol to drop, which deactivates the stress cycle. ‘Breathing techniques can help release deep emotional blockages,’ says breath coach Stuart Sandeman, founder of Breathpod. ‘They can give a stronger connection to self, a deeper relaxation, and clear any feelings of lack and limitation. This technique will help to slow the mind so that you can nod off to sleep.’
- Inhale through the nose for a count of four.
- Hold breath for a count of seven.
