Deepak Chopra: 4 tricks to help you fall asleep when your mind is racing via CNBCMakeIt
Being well-rested is important to your health, mood and productivity. So wellness guru Deepak Chopra recommends everyone get eight hours of sleep each night. In fact, Chopra tells CNBC Make It that when he has"an early schedule the next day," he will sometimes go to bed as early as 8 p.m. to wake up at 4 a.m.
The best way to do this is to count to four as you breathe in and then count to six as you breathe out."This slows your breathing from an average of 14 [breaths] to an average of eight [breaths] per minute," Chopra says, which can help you relax. Say"so" as you inhale and then say the word"hum" as you exhale, Chopra says, describing the"So Hum" mantra that is derived from Sanskrit and often used in yoga and other forms of meditation. Much like mindful breathing, this meditative mantra is meant to help calm your mind."[It can] put you to sleep very fast," Chopra claims.
"On the screen of your consciousness, you see yourself as if you were on a video screen," Chopra says."Observe the day, without judging it, and then let it go.
