Why:
By modulating your breathing, you can regulate the activity of your nervous system. For example, shallow, fast breathing in your chest activates your stress system. Conversely, breathing with extended inhalation and exhalation in your belly deactivates your stress system and helps you fall asleep more easily.
What can you do?
Try one of our relaxing breathing exercises in the app. If you don’t like them, any breathing technique that quiets you down is helpful.
Make it measurable:
If you do any exercise in the app, we automatically collect this exercise which influences your mindfulness score. For example, you have connected Apple Health with the app. We can gather data from apps like Calm, headspace, etc. Also, the exercises you have made there will increase your Mindfulness Score. And then, we can show you how the breathing exercises you did impact your time to fall asleep!
