THIS ONE TIP WILL HELP YOU GET TO SLEEP QUICKER
I always struggle to get to sleep. Always have and I thought I always would. There are so many ways to help aid yourself to sleep. I have even listed my top 5 sleeping aids here. These 5 ways to help you sleep are amazing and always help me. The only problem is that there are often days when I am either too stressed about something to properly switch off. In fact sometimes I can’t sleep because, like a child, I am too excited or inspired about something. My mum is a keen yogi and learnt this fabulous trick which I have been using for the last month and it has worked wonders.

WHY DO WE NEED TO SLEEP
Why do we actually need sleep you may ask? Well, when you don’t sleep you can see the signs in your skin quality, your brain function and you will inevitably be a fair bit more grumpy with less sleep.
THE TOP TIP
This trick works well for the purpose of slowing down your breath but the main thing for me is that it has me concentrating on something other than my own life.
Take slow steady breaths.
Breath in for 2, out for 4.
Breath in for 3, out for 6.
Breath in for 4, out for 8.
Breath in for 5, out for 10.
Then work your way back down.
Breath in for 5, out for 10.
Breath in for 4, out for 8.
Breath in for 3, out for 6.
Breath in for 2, out for 4.
On an average night I tend to fall asleep before I have worked my way back down the routine. On a more stressful evening I will do this once or twice and fall asleep. I feel that this technique works well because you become less focused on life and your deep breath help flow oxygen around your body.
Try it out for yourself and let me know if it helps you too.
