How to Train Your Brain to Fall Asleep in 60 Seconds

The most important thing for our optimal health is getting a good night’s sleep.

However, many people deal with insomnia. The major causer of this problem is stress. Continuous stress can cause a plethora of negative ramifications on the body, including muscle fatique, elevated levels of anxiety and impairment.

Luckily for us, there is one technique that has been proved to be effective when it comes to sleeplessness or insomnia.

It’s called the “4-7-8” breathing trick.

How to Perform This Breathing Technique

Start this tecnique by inhaling through your nose for a count of four seconds, hold your breath for seven seconds, and then start exhaling through your mouth for a count of 8 seconds. You can repeat this cycle as many times as you need until you fall asleep.

Maybe you will want to speed your breathing, but the key is to maintain the 4-7-8 brething pattern as long as possible in order for this technique to work. This slows down your heart rate and will have you dozing off in seconds.

Why it Works

According to some studies, stress and anxiety have a great impact on how our bodies function. For example, people who are anxious and stressed, they may be chronically under-breathing, taking qucik, shallow breaths, when they actually need to take slow, deep breaths in order to feel relaxed.

That’s why this 4-7-8 pattern is very good, since when you are inhaling for 4 seconds, you are forcing yourself to take in more oxygen; by holding your breath for 7 seconds, you are allowing the oxygen to spread throughout your bloodstream and finaly, by exhaling for eight seconds, you are expelling carbon dioxide steadily from your lungs.

With this technique, your body is able to relax more fully, because it slows your heart rate while increasing the levels of oxygen in your blood stream.

Making it Work For You

This amazing tecnique is spread from mouth to mouth by anxious bridesmaids in the United States. However, Dr. Andrew Weil, educated in Harward, is one of the foremost proponents of the 4-7-8 breathing tecnique.

Dr. Weil doesn’t promise that this breathing tecnique will work for everyone. However, the next time you are having a sleepless night, you can try this free, all-natural and completely healthy way to put yourself to sleep. Try to avoid  the over-the-counter pills and use some simple breathing exercises and you will see the difference that the 4-7-8 breathing method makes.

What Does Your Birthday Say About Your Love Life

What Does Your Birthday Say About Your Love Life?

If you've always wondered if winter babies were "naughtier" than summer babies or vice versa, look no further. 

Astrologer Suzie KerrWright created this interesting article to find out the real story behind what your birth month has to do with how you like to make love and your love life overall.

Read on for yourself.

January: January-born people are going to be a little more conservative when it comes to actually hooking up with someone. 

But once they like someone, they'll be very persistent in making it happen. Those born in January have one of the kinkiest signs. You wouldn't think so, but they're right up there with November birthdays in terms of being freaky in the bedroom. 

February: February-born people are adventurers. They have a lot of passion, but you have to really work for it. Their heads are focused in causes and the bigger picture, but you really have to try to get them to connect emotionally. It's not that you can't connect emotionally, but you better be prepared to work for it.

March: March-born people love spending time in bed. Love for them is very intense and bonded because they give their partner everything they have and often take love making to new heights of spirituality.

April: April-born people are very independent, so when they get involved with someone, they give their all. Making love with an April-born person is hot, intense, and very passionate because they're ruled by Mars, but once the love making is over, it's really over. Their passion is huge but they often get tired of people really quickly.

May: May-born people make love to be comfortable and sensual and warm. They love the act of love making itself. They want to make love on satin sheets in a gorgeously decorated room or not at all.

June: June-born people will want to try every position under the sun because they want to know everything about everything. They're not as intense as February-born people, but they're still intense. If you want someone to talk dirty to you, they've got you covered. If you try having naughty phone calls or message chats with them, they will love you forever.

July: Making love with July-born people has to have a deep emotional component. They have to feel safe with someone and once they do, they will do anything to please their partner. They love to nurture people and make sure they're satisfied and have everything they need.

August: August-born people can either be extremely selfish or extremely generous. They'll want to make sure their partner has everything, or they'll sleep with someone and leave immediately. They hate being told what to do in the bedroom, and their egos are easily bruised.

September: They're passionate but they're always in control of their emotions, so when it comes to making love, it'll take a lot to really get them to let go. They won't immediately throw themselves into making love with someone, but if they have an emotional component there, there's nothing they won't do.

October: They want to paint a romantic, passionate picture, and tell you how it'll be and how you'll feel. Then once they tell you, they want to go very slow and make the experience last. They'll really take their time and linger and romance someone. October-born people might lack passion, but they make up for that with spot-on courting that leads up to romantic love making.

November: November-born people are the epitome of what passionate love making is. They need to possess their partners and want their partners to possess them and will make that happen. They will try every act imaginable just to say they've done it.

December: December-born people are very creative in bed. They love to create stories and role-play with partners. It's often hard to connect to them in a deeper way, but they'll make love making fun every single time.

3. Lose the chain

A woman is more likely to be mad about you if she thinks she can lose you. Don’t spend all your time around her. Let her miss you and feel your importance. Cancel dates sometimes and don’t always return phone calls. This will make you confident and increase your importance. Show her you are not addicted to her. However don’t overdo this. If you seem to be playing games, this might work the other way for you. Maintain some ego and attitude.

4. Be a romantic pal

6. Compliment her sincerely

Never hesitate to compliment your girl. Women put a lot of effort into their appearance and love to hear compliments. Make sure you are not doing it too frequently, make it feel real and genuine. Complimenting her daily about how beautiful she looks will make her used to it and she will get bored. Compliment her decency, nature, and innocence. Talk about her cuteness and smile.

7. When to say I Love You

This is an important stage of a relationship, these 3 words are heavy and meaningful, they should not be used in the beginning of a relationship. As your relationship goes on, your emotions develop. It is suggested to shoot these three words when your conversation with her is getting emotional or sensual. Tell her how special she has become to you and how happy you are with her. Remember to say these words in an emotional conversation because if you use these words in the beginning, then she won’t be able to feel your love for her. Have patience and wait for the right time. Until then follow the above tricks and make her crave you.
