Box Breathing Before Bed Habit
A box breathing before bed habit uses two to four short equal-count cycles in dim light after screens stop—testing whether squares calm or stimulate your sleep.
A box breathing before bed habit runs two to four equal-count cycles in dim light after screens stop—not as a substitute for caffeine cutoff or cool room setup. Shorter counts like three-three-three-three suit some sleepers better than aggressive four-four holds.
Stop if holds feel stimulating; switch to exhale-only patterns. Pair with the same seat and lamp cue nightly.
