If you’re one of the many people who can’t fall asleep on a dime there’s a technique that may help with that called the 4-7-8 Method. Celebrity doctor named, Andrew Weil, who calls it the “single best method that he’s found for dealing with getting back to sleep if you wake up in the middle of the night.”
Weil, also mentions this technique comes from Indian Yogis who use it during meditation.
Learn more about how it works below.
“It helps to calm over-stressed minds, managing anxiety and controlling anger responses, by forcing your heartbeat to slow down. The theory is that by imposing certain rhythms on the breath with your voluntary system, gradually these are induced into the involuntary nervous system. And that comes with time. So, it’s the regularity of doing this over a period of weeks, months, years that produces the changes that you want,” Weil explains.
By doing the breathing technique twice a day, you’ll quickly see the benefits.
Sweet dreams!
