Whether you find it hard to fall asleep, repeatedly wake for your slumber at annoying hours, or toss and turn all night, the “4-7-8” breathing trick will be your godsend. It simply involves breathing in through your nose for four seconds, holding your breath for seven seconds, and exhaling through your mouth for eight seconds. The studied combination of numbers has a chemical-like effect on the brain, and slows one’s heart rate and soothes one to sleep.
