Cyclic Sighing Protocol
Cyclic sighing protocol repeats double-inhale sighs with long exhales for roughly five minutes daily—a short habit linked to mood and autonomic calm in research.
Cyclic sighing protocol repeats physiological sighs—double inhale through the nose, extended exhale—for about five minutes daily, often outperforming mindfulness-only blocks for mood and autonomic calm in short research trials. Keep effort gentle; dizziness means slow down.
It complements box or resonance breathing rather than replacing sleep and training recovery.

How long should a cyclic sighing session last?
About five minutes of gentle repeats is the common research dose. Stop early if lightheaded; consistency five days weekly beats occasional long marathons.
