#self help ref

[gyllenhallelujah]

When I can't sleep I either watch YouTube videos (which is bad bc you're not supposed to stare at bright artificial lights if you're trying to get sleepy) OR I lay down and count in x2 (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 etc) until I reach ridiculous numbers and if I mess up/forget my place I just start again and actually fall asleep v quickly!

thank u so much !!

---------------------------------

breath in for 4 seconds

hold your breath for 7 seconds

exhale breath for 8 seconds

repeat once or twice more.

This causes an autonomic nervous system shift from a sympathetic(fight or flight reaction) state to a parasympathetic response.

Use this for panic/anxiety attacks, exams, presentations.
