Do you ever have a night, where it seems no matter how tired you are, you cannot sleep? You toss, turn, and worry about how early you need to rise, which gets you freaking out about not getting sleep? This happens to me often and it can really be a doozy when you need to be focused and alert the next day. In my research of different techniques I can practice (that do not include medicine) to help me get to sleep, I came across a this Life Hack called the 4-7-8 Breathing Technique.
This technique is designed to help you relax your mind and body at a rapid pace, just 60 seconds, to get your body calm enough for sleep. If we cannot let go of the anxiety, stress, problems, worries and such, it makes falling asleep difficult. What I love about this technique is that it is simple enough for anyone to understand and try. The downside is that it will take quite a bit of practice to master it for falling asleep in 60 seconds. However, even if it takes longer than 60 seconds, it is a great relaxation and mind clearing exercise.
Below is a video to help you learn how to try 4-7-8 breathing. I would recommend trying this in bed if you are trying to sleep. But, it is a great meditation and relaxation exercise at well! I will certainly be learning how to master this technique! - Bodynista
