The 4-7-8 Breathing Technique

I often take long to fall asleep.

When I searched for ways to get a good sleep quickly, I found "the 4-7-8 breathing technique."

This breathing technique, which was proposed in Harvard University, has a relaxing effect, and put you to sleep comfortably.

The specific method is: inhale through your nose for four seconds, hold your breath for seven seconds, and exhale through your mouth for eight seconds.

Not only can this technique put you to sleep, but it seems to have also a effect to increase your concentration.

具体的な方法は、4秒間鼻から息を吸い、7秒間息を止め、8秒間かけてゆっくりと口から息を吐くというものです。

眠りやすくなるだけでなく、集中力を高める効果もあるようです。
