Skip Breathing Kicks ***

...just not underwater.

Its a great cure for insomnia on dry land though. A couple minutes of shallow breathing and holding my breath for a second after every exhale and I'm out like a light.

I don't know if its just the breath control excersize or if its a physiological effect of CO2 buildup, but it works every time for me.

Some deep breathing exercises might help.

Go ahead, hold your breath. You'll pass out and the brain stem will resume breathing for you.

:11: This should be under NON- scuba related....could be of use to insomniacs. :06: Are you sure you're falling asleep? Or passing out? Have you seen a physician about this? I think it would be a good idea........

I too have insomia and this method works to help me relax some times... but not pass out.

I would only hold my breath for 30secs max and breathe inbetween. I notice my heartrate reduces alot and it is relaxing. However I still cant go to sleep. :crafty:
