How the 4-7-8 Technique Works

The 4-7-8 breathing technique was developed by Dr. Andrew Weil. It's based on ancient yogic breathing practices and acts as a natural tranquilizer for the nervous system.

  1. Inhale through your nose for 4 seconds
  2. Hold your breath for 7 seconds
  3. Exhale slowly through your mouth for 8 seconds

Repeat 3-4 times before sleep. With practice, this technique can help you fall asleep in under a minute.
