Method 4-7-8: How to Train Your Brain to Fall Asleep in 60 Seconds

After you inhale, hold your breath for a count of 7 seconds. This part helps to increase oxygen levels in your bloodstream, allowing your body to relax.

Exhale for 8 Seconds:

Exhale slowly through your mouth for a count of 8 seconds, making a soft whooshing sound as you release the air.

Focus on the sound and rhythm of your exhale to further calm your mind.

Repeat the Cycle:

Repeat this process for 4 breath cycles. If you feel very relaxed, you can continue for additional cycles, but typically, 4 cycles are enough to feel the effects.

Why the 4-7-8 Method Works:
Oxygenates Your Body: The deep, slow breathing increases the amount of oxygen you take in, which helps to calm your central nervous system and lower your heart rate.

Activates the Parasympathetic Nervous System: This breath control method helps shift your body from the “fight or flight” response (sympathetic nervous system) into the “rest and digest” state (parasympathetic nervous system), which promotes relaxation.

Reduces Stress: The 4-7-8 technique can help you manage stress and anxiety by focusing your mind and breathing, which prevents you from worrying about your day or other distractions.

Improves Sleep Quality: Regularly practicing this technique can train your brain to associate this breathing pattern with relaxation and sleep, making it easier to drift off faster each night.
