The 4-7-8 breath is also known as the relaxation breathing method, so it’ll work great for bedtime.

​

How to:

​

Close your mouth and inhale quietly through your nose for a count of four.

-

Hold your breath for a count of seven.

-

Exhale completely through your mouth, making a whoosh sound to a count of eight.

​

​

Inhale again and repeat the cycle three more times for a total of four breaths.

You can also use this technique for any time you’re feeling stressed or have high anxiety.
