Reduce Anxiety & Stress with the Physiological Sigh | Huberman Lab Quantal Clip

Summary

The physiological sigh is a pattern of breathing that involves two inhales followed by an extended exhale. It occurs spontaneously in sleep when CO2 levels get too high, but can also be done deliberately to reduce anxiety and induce calmness. Inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth, this breathing pattern helps release carbon dioxide and promote a sense of calm. Just a few physiological sighs are usually enough to achieve this effect.
