The 4-7-8 technique promises to help you sleep in 60 seconds, and insomnias are calling it a ‘gamechanger’ 😴
Developed by Dr. Andrew Weil, an integrative medicine specialist at the University of Arizona, the 4-7-8 method is founded in ancient meditation and breathing-focused techniques.
"It’s the single best method that I’ve found for dealing with getting back to sleep if you wake up in the middle of the night," Dr. Weil told MedicalNewsToday. "It's the regularity of doing this over a period of weeks, months, years that produces the changes that you want." It should be noted that the first few times you try the 4-7-8 method, it may take a little longer than 60 seconds to help you drift off. As Dr. Weil pointed out, the idea is that it becomes more effective the more you practice it. Also, if you suffer from a respiratory illness or a similar ailment that affects your breathing, check with your GP before trying the 4-7-8 method.
