      Have read many different sleep disorder blogs during my sleepless journey and tried many ideas and medications.
      I am looking to be medication free and have noticed that deep breathing and meditation helps with the related anxiety.
      Has anyone had good results with this technique?

        Hey @Juliana!

        Welcome to the forum. Meditation and deep breathing are wonderful tools to relax our mind. A common behavior for those who experience poor sleep is to conduct these breathing activities around bedtime with the intent of generating sleep. Our attempts to force sleep often makes the situation worse since sleep doesn’t respond positively to our attempts. Building a strong sleep drive during the day – consistently getting out of bed at the same time each morning, not taking any naps, continue participating in life events and only going to bed when you’re sleepy – is vital in overcoming insomnia. Since you’re looking for natural solutions, have you experimented with cognitive and behavioral therapy for insomnia yet?
