🌙 Can Breath-Holding Improve Your Sleep? 😴💨 Week 3 - Apnea Training
Welcome back! This week, I’ve discovered a surprising benefit of breath-holding-it’s improving my sleep quality! 😲💤 In week 3 of my breath-holding and martial arts journey, I’m focusing on 45-second breath-holds, but I’ve also noticed deeper, more restorative sleep.
💡 In this video, you’ll learn:
🔹 How breath-holding activates the parasympathetic nervous system (relaxation mode) 🧘♂️
🔹 Why CO2 tolerance helps stabilize breathing during sleep 😌
🔹 How pre-bed breath routines can enhance rest 🛏️
🔹 The connection between better sleep & martial arts performance 🥋
🚀 Try this simple breath routine before bed:
✅ Inhale deeply for 4 seconds 🫁
✅ Hold your breath for 15-30 seconds (or 1 min if comfortable) ⏳
✅ Exhale slowly for 8 seconds 🫨
✅ Repeat 5-10 times and feel your body relax instantly 😌
💬 Have you tried breath-holding to improve sleep? Comment below & share your experience! 🗣️👇
🔥 Next Week: I push for 60-second breath-holds and explore even deeper connections between breath-work & martial arts! Don’t miss it-like, share & subscribe! 🎥🔔

True it really helps
Right!
🇦🇺😎👍I’ve been studying Kung Fu for 2 1/2 years doing 5 hrs per week and I’m 61 . Trust me that will rip you a new ass ole 😳but I’m on the improve
great video! I agree with the benefits of breath holding
Thank you! 🙏 it’s hard work training breath holding, but I’m really seeing and feeling the benefits.
This is a really interesting series!
Thank you, 🙏 I’m glad you enjoyed it!
You know, playing your music in the background is a nice plus!
It’s crazy how NSDR (which is like a guided breathing practice) can help you fall asleep. You have like voluntary control over something seemingly involuntary. Great video!
It has helped me sleep better.
What does NSDR stand for?
Focusing on your breath really does clear your mind!
It’s amazing isn’t it!
Thank you for your content, and it's encouraging.
I guess everything would affect the outcome of breath holding. 5 minutes seems a very challenging goal. I would love to see how you improve. Looking forward to the next week’s video
Thank you! Yea this is very challenging, especially at my age!!!
No sugar
Do you remember the story of Adam and Eve…..
That is pretty impressive Erik, I can barely hold my breath for 8 seconds
Thank you, Karen. I've been working on it for a while now. I think I can hit 1:30 while walking.
Awesome video!
Thank you! So glad you liked it.
Since 2006? That's a long time ago
Yep, that's when I started doing focused breathing.
Having control over breathing is so important for all athletes. Great content!
So True! When I climb, I always focus on my breath, especially when trying to work on very difficult moves.
Breath holding is the best natural way I have found to eliminate acute drowsiness! Just hold your breath as long as you absolutely can and experience alertness like never before - adrenaline I would guess. I guess it’s survival or something but the body is no longer concerned with sleeping after that! Swimming: try swimming a pool length or two underwater. Even if dead ass sleepy you will come to! Doing this I would feel like my body is foregoing sleep to make it to the other side and breathe ASAP!! Also just take a deep breath and dead float a the surface. The air in your lungs keeps your body at the surface. You can lift your head and take a breath indefinitely - “drown proofing” OR Still holding your breath you can let some out and sink to the bottom. It will be easier to hold your breath since you can’t just stick your head up and breathe like in “drown proofing”. This is military training for pilots and special forces. I was able to hold my breath 3+ minutes this way. Also to get through sleepless night workdays. You’re welcome…
Nice. Just remember if you're ever in a pool or body of water practicing breath holding, make sure you have a spotter with you incase you pass out. They will save you from drowning. It's called shallow water blackout, also known as hypoxic blackout, about 20% of deaths from drowning are from shallow water blackouts. About 4,000 people die per year from drowning. I'm personally having fun with practicing holding my breath underwater. They say that you can hold your breath longer due to something called: Mammalian Dive Reflex
I AM SOON TO PROVE that Tom Cruise was given Power from a Master FOR TOM trained to HOLD a LONG Breath and NOW--It will SOON be PROVEN That HIS Breath WAS the Reason FOR His FAME---TOM himself will be Surprised at When that GIFT(for his abilities) was Given Him.. I am the only One whom Knows---as I am the Only One whom told you this story---Only One whom KNOWS--IT was NOT before Dec. 1978 FIND OUT WHEN HE BECAME LUCKY just after Nov 1978
Sounds Cool!
YOU are SO Correct That is WHY it was called WuShu for it is the WHOOOOSE of Ones BREATH that CONTROLS ALL THINGS????
I like that!
Wim Hof?
I met a girl that was a Wim Hof instructor, but never took the class. I did do some ice baths, which was a lot of fun.
Combine different soft or internal martial arts together but try to balance them with hard combat sports, weapon combat sports, and Yoga and Qigong for recovery and dieting.
Sounds like a very good combination! Thanks for sharing.
who is giving that class - I will sign up Spencer too :D
Ready when you are….
@@ErikCalderon send us the time - ill bring Spencer! :D
ok time to go jog and get rid of the bad CO2 :D
Been jogging?🏃
Need to start holding my breath.
It’s amazing what it does…
Can aikido go vs jiu jitsu!?
Aikido actually comes from Daito Ryu Aikijutsu
@ 😀 cool!
i need to train :D are you planning to do 5k chocolate run jan 25th?
That's sounds like a fun run. Where is it?
Can Indians use this technique to obtain free LinkedIn Learning access?
Yea, I don't think so. I only know that it works if you have a library card and to get one you have to live in the area.
It's supposed to be for selfdefence pick one that fights in open tournaments 🥊🥋
What do you mean by open tournaments?
58 and starting Muay Thai! Skål!
Nice!!!
Proud Parents when kids do the dishes
Right!
FunX
Pretty cool, isn't it!
What’s your go to aikido techniques for self defense?
Kokyu-ho
@ can you make a video showing it?
Great insights friend! I really was an eager learner for the full 8.8 min. Thanks for helping me with ideas to avoid a fight.
I happy to hear that you benefited from these ideas. Thank you!
Training Aikido helps me with mobility and energy. I just feel better over all. Training is not easy. It is quite challenging sometimes.
Someone just asked me yesterday if you enjoy Aikido, or if I force you to go....it was an interesting conversation!
Lots of good information
Thank you!
Very good transferable info. I like the setup!
Thank you! Yep, I had a really good time creating this setup. Using the Blackmagic Studio camera. I think I figured out how to color it!
I see a van that need to be completed lol😂
Yes, I got the electrical conduit a few weeks ago, just need to start laying it in the walls!
Vidsummit was life changing for me. You are spot on about so many great content creators. I think i hit 30,000 step every day am still pumped from all the information. You was always on the go. Great video 😁
Thank you! Vidsummit was life changing for me!
Most people that do aikido are very lazy
You know, I want to agree with you, especially since I see so many instructors that are completely out of shape!
I'm intrigued as to what specifics were you practicing exactly. To critique without knowing the whole context of an observation would be bad manners on my part. Let's make love great again 🙌🙏
Yes, we were practicing Aikido, with an Uke that resists being thrown. And really trying to dial down on the movements of Irimi-nage. Going through the movements slowly and trying to generate the power of the technique.
Woah that’s awesome!!
Thank you!
VidSummit is the TH-camr Conference of the Year. TH-camrs from all over the world get together to hear from leading experts on how to make our content better!
This is my second year going! Definitely going to try and go in 2025! Maybe I'll make a better video about it.
Don’t break your hips !!!
Yea, right! Getting old.....
Niiice!
Thank you! 🙏
Woah !!!!😮
Yea, right!
Don’t hurt yourself
What? Of course it hurts….
You guys are getting really old!!!
