Breathe Your Way to Calm

A simple way to release stress and prepare for restful sleep:

Inhale through your nose for 4 counts
Exhale slowly through your mouth for 8 counts
Repeat for a few minutes. The longer exhale signals your nervous system that it’s safe to relax—perfect before bedtime or anytime stress rises.
