This Simple Trick Helps You Fall Asleep In Just One Minute

If you’ve ever found yourself tossing and turning in bed, desperately wishing you could fall asleep, you need to try a breathing technique called the 4-7-8 method.

All you do is breathe calmly through your nose for 4 seconds, hold your breath for 7 seconds, and then breathe slowly out your mouth for 8 seconds.

The method makes most people fall asleep instantly (when they’re snuggled in bed, don’t try it at your desk) because the breathing and holding acts as a kind of sedative.

When you’re stressed or anxious, there’s more adrenaline in your blood so you’re more awake and your breaths are faster and shallower.

But taking a moment to force yourself to just breathe and focus on nothing else slows your heart, calms your mind and sends you into a lovely deep slumber.

The method has been backed by people from Harvard scientists to Indian yogis so you’re in safe, snoozy hands.

Sweet dreams!
