Combatting Early Wakefulness: A Breathing Exercise Method for a Good Night's Sleep

December 16, 2023

Many elderly people experience early wakefulness. Experts suggest that those who cannot sleep between 3 and 5 in the morning should not be anxious. Instead, they can try sitting on the bed and practicing a set of breathing exercises, which will eventually lead to a good sleep. Here is the specific method: Sit upright on the bed, gently close your mouth and eyes, and place the tip of your tongue against the upper palate. Try to align the top of your head and the perineum in a straight line, completely relax your mood and muscles, and focus your mind on the lower abdomen. Breathe in a steady and slow manner. While breathing, imagine the sun, moon, and stars in the sky descending from the top of your head to the chest with each inhalation, finally resting in the lower abdomen. After half an hour, you may feel a strong desire to sleep.
