Looking for breathing techniques to help you fall asleep fast and reduce your stress before bed? You're in the right place. As a sleep writer, I'm aware that stress is a major sleep disruptor. But as a human, I know it's never as simple as 'stop being stressed'. When worries keep me awake, meditative breathing techniques calm my mind and help me fall asleep fast, even if they can't banish my stress entirely.
Breathing techniques can be a crucial part of your sleep hygiene too, along with a calming bedtime routine and choosing the best mattress for your body and sleeping position. Breathing techniques for sleep are particularly good at easing a racing mind and relaxing tight muscles that tend to accompany late night panics. And these techniques are so easy, anyone can try them – and for free.
