How loud does the exhaling have to be? Asking for the sake of the person on the other side of the bed.

I learned this from a Star Wars book that called it a Jedi meditation technique lol

how effective is this for real

it feels weird at first but when you find your groove it's a+

It works for me. The hardest part is remembering the numbers

mkmilligan.bsky.social•60 days ago

Numbers aren't so important. The article puts a lot on "seconds" which... you might pass out, but you're not falling asleep if you focus on too much

Fill your lungs slowly, hold your breath for about as long as that took, maybe a little longer, then slowly but forcefully exhale. Repeat. Profit.

The only time it doesn't work for me is if I'm sick. Even at my most stressed it at least gets me to sleep for a few hours before I wake up again.

i am about to go all in on this based on this exchange and three other replies

kleinman.bsky.social•60 days ago

And if it doesn't work for whatever reason, at least it was free

mkmilligan.bsky.social•60 days ago

Really for real. Been doing it for about 8+ years with mostly great success

Read this an hour after giving up on sleeping because I have to be at security at 4am today. Will be using.

Oh yeah, I do this for fifteen or twenty minutes before getting back out of bed and drinking a glass of milk each night!
