24 Mar Breathwork for Better Sleep: How to Wind Down Naturally

Posted at 09:18h in Breath by

Struggling to fall asleep? You’re not alone. With constant screen time, busy schedules, and overstimulation, switching off at night can feel impossible. But what if the secret to better sleep was as simple as changing how you breathe?

How Breathwork Supports Sleep

Studies from Sleep Foundation show that breathwork helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which signals your body to relax. Slow, deep breathing lowers your heart rate and preps your body for restful sleep.

Breathwork Techniques for Better Sleep

1. 4-7-8 Breathing

Best for: Slowing down an overactive mind

• Inhale for 4 seconds

• Hold for 7 seconds

• Exhale for 8 seconds

• Repeat until you feel drowsy

2. Diaphragmatic Breathing

Best for: Deep relaxation

• Lie down and place one hand on your belly

• Inhale deeply, feeling your belly expand

• Exhale slowly

• Repeat for 5-10 minutes

3. Humming Breath

Best for: Releasing tension

• Inhale deeply

• Exhale while humming softly

• Repeat for 10 cycles

Breathe yourself to sleep. Try these simple breathwork techniques before bed and experience deeper, more restful sleep.
