Controlled breathing allows restful sleep.
Controlled breathing is also a great help in inducing sleep. The method is to lie on your side in bed, and then take three deep breaths expanding the abdomen completely.
Then hold your breath
as long
as you can. Next, take three more breaths
and repeat the breath-holding. While
you hold your breath, carbon dioxide accumulates in the body and induces natural
sleep.
Regular, active exercising during
the day and mild exercise at bedtime
enhances the quantity
and the quality of sleep. Exercise stimulates the elimination of lactic acid from the body which correlates with stress
and muscular tension.
Regular exercise
also produces hormonal changes which are beneficial to the body and to the sleep
pattern. Walking, jogging,
skipping, swimming are all ideal exercises. Vigorous
exercise should, however, be avoided at night as this
can be over stimulating.
