Watch: This life hack will help you get to sleep in just 60 seconds

For anyone who finds it difficult to readily fall asleep, sometimes even aids like earplugs, eye masks, sleeping pills, and white noise are of little use. Sleep disorders and sleep deprivation can go on to become a chronic problem if we only limit ourselves to such types of short-term solutions. So, here’s a cool hack that will have you sleeping soundly in no more than a minute and keep insomnia and stress at bay.

Dr. Andrew Weil, a Harvard trained medical doctor, says that the solution to the problem is actually just a very simple breathing exercise. The 4-7-8 breathing exercise also known as ‘The Relaxing Breath’ is based on an ancient Indian practise that means ‘regulation of breath’, according to Medical Daily. It is supposed to be really effective and relaxing as it enables the fast removal of carbon dioxide from our bodies.

The 4-7-8 breathing exercise comprises five steps which allow you to practise holding your breath for eight seconds and then deeply inhale oxygen. Below is a video that will help you learn this technique in the easiest way possible.
