Deep sleep is crucial as it helps improve our brain's ability to recall and collect information. This point of sleep also allows our brain to recover and rest, allowing it to recharge for the coming day. Therefore, it is important to ensure you are getting a deep sleep so your mind and body can get the rest it deserves. What's more, it'll also help you to wake up feeling more alert.
A vast majority of us breathe through our mouths during sleep and this is what often causes us to experience disturbances and fail to achieve a good quality sleep. Sleep apnea, snoring, and waking up are some of the things that can occur as a result of mouth breathing.
Given that, nasal breathing is the best option in achieving a deep sleep but how do we do this? Start by devoting 10 minutes before you go to sleep to switching off and following these breathing exercises to relax your mind and body.

Thank you Patrick. There's a lot we try to do to become less stressed. Always trying to get to the future but this is so simple. I'm beginning to beleive that this is what most people need but maybe not everyone is ready to hear it because, like myself, we don't make the connection how effective this can be.

I downloaded the new OA app yesterday and started the sleep exercise this morning. I was very impressed with it and wanted to thank you for this wonderful tool. It made me feel better about my breath work exercises and look forward to continuing through the program. Thanks Patrick!

To get that extra 35% more, force yourself to drink 3 or 4 plastic bottles in a day

IF you are cutting the amount of air taken in, how do you maintain sufficient oxygen concentration. I tried this and my O2 levels went down.

@OxygenAdvantage 7 месяцев назад

It sounds counter-intuitive @kalliepmill but by learning functional breathing exercises we can improve oxygenation of the blood while breathing a smaller volume of air. We do this by reducing the body's sensitivity to carbon dioxide with things like breath hold exercises. When we nose breathe we keep a small amount of carbon dioxide in our nasal cavity. Carbon dioxide is not just a waste gas. It is the body's signifier to breathe. Also, oxygen binds better to the haemoglobin in our blood in the presence of carbon dioxide (Bohr Effect). So by learning functional breathing exercises, we breathe a smaller volume of air but much more efficiently. This improves breathing, increases oxygenation of the muscles allowing for more endurance and better recovery. We have lots of articles on this if you would like to find out about it in more detail: oxygenadvantage.com/science/ Thanks for the comment.

Can this breathing be done while laying down? Like when I wake up during the night and can't get back to sleep. Or should I be sitting or standing? I will give this a try. Thank you.

How long does it take someone who is a mouth breather to accomplish this ? A few weeks? A couple months? I’ve been trying this - but panic because I “feel” like I’m not getting enough air in as I would through my mouth. Thx

@walthereveline4048 2 года назад

Thank you for your excellent videos. I would like to know if nasal polyps disappear with the nasal breathing , with the exercise to free the nose ..etc Best regards Eveline

@danvelgtr Год назад

Can someone tell me does one have to hold their breath for a few seconds before breathing out ? tia.

@OxygenAdvantage Год назад

Hi @danvelgtr No. In basic terms, when doing a breath hold exercise, all breath holds happen AFTER breathing out. It's a soft and light breath in, a soft, slow and controlled breath out. Then a comfortable breath hold until air hunger is felt.

Starts explaining breathing to stimulate the vagus nerve 3:39 (all of his videos are so full of things that you dont need to hear)

@bmw7828 2 года назад

Vagus nerve is so important. I want to hear more about it.

Open mouth breathing during sleep is by far the biggest disruptor of slee quality. This is mentioned one minute in for that same reason.

@elenastaffy6119 2 года назад

@tanyawieczorek6603 Год назад

Patrick , can you please do a video on adrenal fatigue and low a.m. cortisol and how can breathing help to heal those issues?

@OxygenAdvantage Год назад

Thanks for the suggestion @tanyawieczorek6603 We'll look into doing a video on that.

@Hadipushups Год назад

I think breathing properly is the most important way of falling asleep

@OxygenAdvantage Год назад

We couldn't agree more @Hadipushups

@nijaathdeanismail4884 2 года назад

Will my soring also become better having breathing also pl reply tks

@fb3459 Год назад

The snoring will get better, when you breathe through your nose during the night. The easiest way to achieve nose breathing through the nose, is by taping your mouth.

@leeeames4113 2 года назад

I’m struggling to understand how the breath can be light and deep simultaneously. Could you please clarify the distinction? I have benefited from your teaching to unblock the nose but I’m finding the light breathing exercise difficult to do without creating stressful level of air hunger. Certainly not relaxing… Thanks very much.

@philippemaxwell2821 2 года назад

Deep means low. So slow, light and low

@yogisagar3380 2 года назад

I think deep means long breathing from the diaphragm. Slow, light, long deep breath from the belly or diaphragm.

@mitubogoogle 2 года назад

Excellent question. The author/host has tremendous knowledge, but he is not a great communicator to mortals like us. I find his book hard to read -whereas Mr Nestor (who also wrote a breathing book) is very easy to read and listen to.... He is probably better for people who have already mastered the basics....

@mitubogoogle 2 года назад

I think light means effortless, and deep means all the way down. In other words, breathe effortlessly, slowly, all the way down to the bottom of your lungs (fill up the belly and not the chest)

@maakeklein4073 2 года назад

I'm the same.i usually do deep breathing exercises at night.wim hof which is complete opposite to this.i tried this and it didn't work for me at all.not enough air getting to my lungs like I'm used to. In fact had one of the worst sleeps in a long time. I'll stick with wim hof.

How do people with allergies with stuffy nose breathe then?

@OxygenAdvantage Год назад

Hi @ew6629 Try the nose unblocking exercise before using breathing exercises. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cU4ls5ku4Rg.html and ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LkWbPZbIYX0.html
