Insomniacs: How To Fall Asleep In 60 Seconds
Dr. Andrew Weill has what he says is a sure-fire technique to fall asleep quickly.
To do the 4-7-8 breathing technique, you first need to exhale completely through your mouth while making a ‘whoosh’ sound.
Close your mouth and inhale quietly through your nose to a mental count of four.
Now hold your breath for a count of seven.
After this time has elapsed, exhale completely through your mouth, making another whoosh sound for eight second in one large breath.
Now inhale again and repeat the cycle three times for a total of four breaths.
‘Note that you always inhale quietly through your nose and exhale audibly through your mouth.
‘The tip of your tongue stays in position the whole time,’ Dr Weil says…
As well as relaxing the parasympathetic nervous system, Dr Weil says 4-7-8 helps you feel connected to your body and distracts you from everyday thoughts that can disrupt sleep.
He says it can also help anxiety.

I’ve done this, and it’s kinda effective. Relax every part of your body while you exhale.

This is interesting since I don’t hardly sleep anymore.

a vaporizer works better and one does not have to think too much.
