This Sleep Hack Will Get You the Best Rest of Your Life
Sleepless nights are about to become a thing of the past.
We all want to be able to head to bed at night and immediately knock out when our heads hit the pillow.
Unfortunately for most people, that just isn't reality. The APA has found that more than half of millennials are losing sleep at night because of stress. They found that money, work and the economy are among the biggest stressors on young people.
After spending all night tossing, turning and stressing, you're probably spending the rest of your day fighting to stay awake.
In a post for Byrdie, writer Alina Gonzales claims to have found a super simple way to get to sleep fast.
The secret to getting to sleep quickly is simple. It's all about your breathing.
Harvard-educated doctor, Dr. Andrew Weil popularized the 4-7-8 breathing technique which is used in meditative practices, yoga and stress reduction therapy.
The 4-7-8 breathing technique is simple. All you have to do is inhale deeply for 4 seconds, hold your breath your 7 and exhale for 8.
Dr. Weil says the breathing technique is “the perfect, portable stress antidote, as it puts the practitioner in a relaxed state almost immediately.”
Try it tonight and prepare to drift off to sleep!
