Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, Leo Weston here and welcome back to Impulse Detos.
You know life's a whirlwind, right It feels like we're
constantly juggling deadlines, commitments, and that never ending scroll on
our phones. It's no wonder so many of us struggle
to wind down at night. Ever, feel like your mind

(00:20):
is racing even when you're snuggled in bed, Like those
thoughts just keep bouncing around, preventing a peaceful night's sleep.
Trust me, I've been there. But today we're tackling this
common problem head on with a simple yet powerful solution,
breathing before bed. Think about it, Your breath is the

(00:43):
one thing you have complete control over even when everything
else feels chaotic, and guess what, it can actually be
a game changer for your sleep quality and overall well being.
Here are five key takeaways to help you unlock the
magic of breathing before bed. First up, deep breathing signals

(01:05):
to your body that it's time to relax. When we
inhale deeply, our vagus nerve gets activated, triggering the release
of calming neural chemicals like serotonin and melotonin. Those are
the good guys responsible for easing anxiety and promoting sleepiness.
So next time you feel those pre sleep jitters creeping in,

(01:29):
take a few slow, deep breaths. It's like sending your
body a chill out signal. Second, focused breathing can literally
quiet the mental chatter that keeps us up at night.
It's like hitting the pause button on those racing thoughts
and allowing space for calm to settle in. You know

(01:49):
that feeling when you're caught in a whirlwind of worries.
Deep breaths help redirect your attention away from those anxieties
and towards the present. Speaking of presence, conscious breathing encourages mindfulness,
which is key for better sleep. Mindfulness isn't about emptying

(02:11):
your mind, it's about observing your thoughts and feelings without judgment.
When you focus on your breath, you become more aware
of your body, sensations, emotions, and even the sounds around you.
This awareness helps create a sense of groundedness that can
melt away stress and promote relaxation. Now let's talk practicality.

(02:37):
There are tons of different breathing techniques out there, but
one super effective option is box breathing. It's simple yet powerful.
Imagine your breath as a square inhale for four counts,
hold for four counts, exhil for four counts, and hold
again for four counts. Repeat this cycle a few times

(02:59):
before bed, and you'll be amazed at how quickly it
calms your mind and body. Lastly, remember consistency is key.
Like any good habit, breathing before bed takes practice. Don't
get discouraged if you don't feel instant results. Just keep
showing up for yourself, even if it's just a few

(03:19):
minutes each night. Over time, you'll notice the positive impact
on your sleep and overall well being. Okay, let's paint
a picture. Imagine this. You're winding down after a long day,
feeling that familiar tension building in your shoulders, your mind's
racing with to do lists, unanswered emails, and that looming deadline.

(03:42):
Sound familiar, But instead of tossing and turning all night,
you remember our breathing secret weapon. You dim the lights,
slip into comfy pajamas, and take a few deep breaths.
Inhale slowly through your nose, feeling your chest and bell
expand exhale gently through your mouth, releasing any tension you're

(04:05):
holding onto. As you continue breathing, deeply, those racing thoughts
begin to slow down. You feel your body relax, your
shoulders ease, and a sense of calm washes over you.
Sleep beckons, and you drift off peacefully into a RESTful
night's slumber. So there you have it. Breathing before bed

(04:29):
isn't just some airy, fairy wellness trend. It's a powerful
tool that can transform your sleep and your entire day.
Remember those five key takeaways. Deep breaths signal relaxation. Focused
breathing quiets the mind, Mindfulness promotes calmness. Box breathing is
