How To Fall Asleep In Just One Minute
This method is called the ’4-7-8′. This is what you need to do:
- Breathe calmly through your nose for 4 seconds.
- Hold your breath for 7 seconds.
- Spend 8 seconds to breathe out slowly through your mouth.
It’s really that simple. Sounds crazy? but it really works.
Why does it works?
When you’re stressed or anxious, there will be an increase of the amount of adrenaline in your blood, and your breathing gets faster and lighter. This exercise acts as a kind of sedative. Deliberately slowing down your breathing in this way forces the rhythm of your heart to slow down, making you calm very quickly; it’s simple physiology!
The same exercise helps to calm down your mind, too, simply because it makes you concentrate completely on your breathing. You don’t realize it, but at this moment your central nervous system gradually reduces its activity, and feelings the disappearance of anxiety.
The result is the relaxion of your whole body. In terms of the speed and strength of the physical effect it has, the exercise is similar to an anaesthetic. It was investigated by Harvard medical doctor Andrew Weil, who found that the ’4-7-8′ method has been well-known to Indian yogi for several centuries.
They use it during meditation practice in order to achieve a state of complete relaxation. It’s safe to say, therefore, that it’s completely harmless.
