Holding Your Breath

[sentensyador]

Great.. Watching this made me breathe manually

"You are fearfully and wonderfully made". Every time I learn something new about the body, it reminds me of this bible verse

[breadedbread]

The 5 lines of defense be like
1. Oh he's not breathing
2. Hey you should probably start breathing
3. Hey you should start breathing
4. Start breathing
5. *DO I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING AROUND HERE*

As a Python programmer, this level of error handling is amazing

The way our body works is truly amazing

Funny thing is, the way free divers can hold their breath for so long is because after enough practice, they train their brain to ignore these alarms, which is why sometimes certain free divers don't die because the alarm overpowers, its because they pass out from oxygen deprivation. Anyways, love this channel, keep up the good work!

Lifeguard here, if you make yourself hyperventilate (if you breathe in and out really fast) before going under water and hold your breath under there, you can actually trick your system into thinking your carbon dioxide levels are fine when they are actually too high, causing you to then go unconscious

Just remember "Your body is not just a vessel; it is a devoted companion that whispers love in every heartbeat, embraces you in every breath, and celebrates your existence more than you could ever imagine. Trust in its wisdom and nurture the bond you share."

I have done it twice. If you wanna try, try when it’s VERY cold. Open your window and freeze your room. I found that it’s easier to resist at night with lights off. Less distractions and less sensory stimulation.

I liked diving so I can hold my breath for some time and ignore some of those alarm bells.

Tho I’m not quite certain whether i passed out or just blacked out for a few seconds.

It’s actually far easier to make urself pass out from hyperventilating than to do it from stopping urself from breathing

"Please don't try"
Jokes on you, I already have

Passing out from holding one's breath is actually pretty easy. It was a trend when I was in junior high, but you need someone else to pressure your chest to make the process faster. I also passed out once in senior high during class unintentionally when I was holding my breath with a sleeping posture on my desk.

"Please don't try"
— proceeds to explain how it's impossible to do.

[marxrobinson]

Ive said it before and ill say it again when you think about everything your body does to keep you alive without you even being conscious about it, its just so awesome

[SonicBuzz]

its crazy how simple cells can do complex stuff like this

I find it fascinating that
holding your breath while swimming and holding your breath while sitting still underwater (like meditating) soo different
I find it more terrifying while sitting still, I don't know how well I can explain it but when I holding my breath and keep calm I can feel I'm losing awareness of my surrounding and as if my conciusness slipping away almost as if it's getting darker and darker
