HOW TO FALL ASLEEP FAST - The 4-7-8 guided breathing meditation method, 1-Hour Version

Can't sleep? Try the 4-7-8 sleep breathing technique to help you drift peacefully into sleep

The 4-7-8 breathing technique, also known as "relaxing breath," involves breathing in for 4 seconds, holding the breath for 7 seconds, and exhaling for 8 seconds.

This breathing pattern aims to reduce anxiety or help people get to sleep. Some proponents claim that the method helps people get to sleep in 1 minute.

Thank you so much. I've been feeling so anxious lately. I've been shaking for the last 30 minutes. I can't stop thinking, but this helps.

Great video. Once you recognize the sound by visually watching the graphics. Then you can just listen and breath accordingly. I use this most mornings(sometimes switch with other meditation) and before big meetings or presentations. If you stick with the you will feel a difference but that is true with all meditation. Thanks.

Hi! Thanks for the video!
Just a suggestion, could you make this same video but with black screen? Cause I fell asleep with the headphones on, I really enjoy this breathing exercise, I fell asleep with the headphones on a few times 😸
Thank you again for helping us to get some good night sleep 💖✨

I have other health issues but trying this even if it's not perfect does help. Thank you

Thank you so much for this video, great job :)😀

[mmedeuxchevaux]

thank you for this helpful, calming video. I've only been able to do the breathing exercises for 10 minutes but I'm going to continue practicing until I can go at least a half an hour. the key is to relax and set aside your disagreeable mind.

Please add these to Spotify. I would love the ability for it to play on my google home but I can’t get it to play in YouTube music and it’s not on Spotify etc

I tried it today morning for 45 minutes because I couldn't do it for one hour and my opinion is that I am relaxed from continuous thoughts & breathing problems

[woof]

I love the video, I thought I was going to die though.. I could only do it for a minute. but i still love it nice job !

[sheenary]

It worked! I was knocked out. Felt like a trance.

[LindaS-xegt]

Thank u so much, this is really helpful 🙏🏻💗

I fell asleep after about 4 minutes even though I previously pretty jittery. Wow!!!

[manosvenus]

Has anyone actually done this for 1hour! Your CO2 will be through the roof!! No wonder people are saying they feel like they're suffocating! Dr Weil who pioneered the 4-7-8 method recommends 4 rounds initially building up to 8 rounds after 6 weeks of training. Bless you for trying to help others my friend but you might want to revise the hour-long nature of the video...unless I'm missing something!?!?

Great has worked for me in the past but not easy to whoosh when tongue on teeth 🤔

[nicostruppich]

It takes a while to get used to this. Square breathing (look up doctor Jo’s video or any other) is easier on newbies and effective

[linhjahnke]

I can't keep my tongue in the same position when I breath out! You said to keep my tongue in the same position but it's hard to do it.

Good vid. There's a nice breathing exercise in the meditation book "30 Days to Reduce Anxiety" by Harper Daniels.
