cool. so exhale longer than inhaling and repeat multiple times. I think this works. thanks for sharing

  yeah basically it is how you breathe after sobbing intensely.

  It's more of a double-take on the inhale. 1) Inhale 2) Microscopic pause 3) Inhale some more 4) Exhale longer than inhaling. From what I've noticed, more than two inhales is fine, it still works. It just shouldn't be an uncomfortable amount of air in the lungs. I've also noticed that my dog does this when he's about to go to sleep.

Didn’t know it has a name, but I frequently do that when I’m not calm enough to sleep.
- theGnuMe 3y ago
  I do that, box breathing or even start a simple breathing meditation. Makes me yawn almost instantly.

    Short in, slow out when I’m almost sleepy enough, guided 4-7-8-0 (4 seconds breathing in, hold for 7, breathe out for 8) when I need to sleep but am simply not tired enough, and guided box breathing for stress.

I recognize the irony of posting this in a thread about maintaining attention, but I could not sit through all that salesey preamble to get to whatever the sigh is supposed to be. Culture gripe; I wish more creators got to the meat first, and added the long drawn out explanations later. I know why they don't (views == $$), but for real. I don't need your life story, just tell me how many onions I need to buy for the recipe.

  But if it was done that way, wouldn't the placebo effect be weaker?

  Thumbnail for that video is literally "Eliminate stress in seconds", but is an 11 minute video.

    The video increases stress so that you can employ the explained destressing techniques in seconds immediately afterwards. Note: this doesn't mean the technique takes a few seconds, just that the technique will be useful in seconds

  > views == $$ No, in the current Youtube ecosystem it's "watchtime == $$". Maybe you meant that anyway, because it matches your actual comment way better.

A big upvote for this too. Incredibly skeptical that it could work, but repeating it 5-10 times in a row significantly calms me and fills me with a warm relaxed feeling for at least 10-15 minutes.
