science when you hit snooze you're
0:56
forcing your brain into a fragmented
0:58
sleep cycle called sleep inertia this

your body tries to start a new 90minute
1:05
sleep cycle but gets yanked out of it

Clinical Sleep Medicine show snoozers
1:11
report lower alertness and worse mood

five minutes okay picture this you wake

1:28
breath slow deep deliberate inhales and

exhales this tiny habit rewires your
1:33
brain like magic but why does this work
1:36
let's dive deeper mindful breathing
1:38
isn't just about filling your lungs it's
1:40
a direct line to your autonomic nervous
1:42
system when you're stressed your body
1:45
defaults to fight orflight mode flooding
1:47
with cortisol and adrenaline but slow
1:50
diaphragmatic breathing flips the switch
1:52
to rest and digest activating the
1:55
parasympathetic nervous system studies

on your chest and one on your belly
