I came across this article a few weeks ago during a particularly busy and stressful time.  My busy and stressful schedule was interfering with my sleeping habits and I was having trouble falling asleep and enjoying restful sleep.  While initially a little skeptical, I decided to give this method of falling asleep quickly a try.  Developed by a Harvard wellness practitioner, this method is quite simple:

4 – Breathe through your nose for four seconds
7 – Hold your breath for seven seconds
8 – Exhale through your mouth for eight seconds

Repeat as necessary.

While I can’t say I’m always able to fall asleep within 1 minute, I’ve found this method quite helpful over the last few weeks.
