We often focus on what we do before bed — skincare, reading, turning off screens — but one of the most powerful sleep tools is something we carry with us every second of the day: our breath.
Mindful breathing signals your nervous system that it’s safe to relax. It slows the heart rate, eases muscle tension, and helps quiet the mind so your body can enter deep rest more easily.
🌬️ Why Breathwork Works Before Sleep
When we’re stressed, our breathing becomes shallow and quick, keeping the body in a “fight or flight” mode.
Slow, intentional breathwork flips that switch — activating the parasympathetic nervous system (“rest and digest”) that promotes deep, restorative sleep.
😌 3 Gentle Techniques to Try Tonight
1️⃣ 4-7-8 Breathing
Inhale through your nose for 4 counts, hold for 7, exhale slowly through your mouth for 8. Repeat 4–6 rounds to calm the body quickly.
2️⃣ Box Breathing
Inhale 4 counts → hold 4 → exhale 4 → hold 4. This rhythmic method reduces anxiety and helps steady your mind.
3️⃣ Long Exhale Breathing
Simply make your exhale twice as long as your inhale. It’s a natural way to lower heart rate and relax your body into sleep mode.
🌿 Enhance Relaxation Naturally
Pair your breathing routine with a warm herbal tea or a LiveGood Magnesium Complex capsule about an hour before bed. Magnesium helps relax muscles, support nerve health, and promote calm — making it a perfect partner for breathwork.
🌜 Bringing It All Together
A quiet room, soft light, and steady breathing — these small moments tell your body it’s time to rest. Over time, a nightly breathwork habit can transform how you fall asleep and how refreshed you feel each morning.
