Insomnia and Stress (part 1)

Insomnia and Stress (part 1)

When stressful changes occur it is time to take notice right away since stress can lead to heart attacks, strokes, and other disastrous experiences as a result of lack of sleep and relaxation.

Rhythmic Breathing is one of the easier techniques used in the treatment of insomnia. However, in my experience combining rhythmic breathing with PMRT and self-hypnosis has increased the ability to reduce stress, cope with stressors and find a source of relaxation that leads to sleep.

Of course, exercise, proper diet, and self-talk fit into the picture when it comes to finding resolve from insomnia and stress.

Rhythmic Breathing
Rhythmic Breathing Techniques entail learning how to inhale and exhale between breaths on a number of counts, rather the person learns to hold in breaths and let the breaths out slowly for a number of times.

The technique helps to minimize stress, but the strategy is temporary. Thus, to relieve long-term stress and insomnia the person must learn consistency and persistency to maintain a stable ground.

Therefore, rhythmic breathing is a start, but it is a long way from recovery.

Sleep well,
