Are you having trouble getting to sleep at night?
Here are some helpful tips to help you get a good night's rest.
But when these simple tips fail, try a breathing exercise.
The Box Breath works well for me.
Step1: Inhale through the nose for 4 counts.
Step2: Hold the Inhale for 4 counts.
Step3: Exhale slowly and fully through the nose for 4 counts.
Step4: When you finish Exhaling, hold the breath for 4 counts.
Step5: Continue breathing like this till you feel relaxed enough to drift off to sleep.
