    @KarynJ, I do a lot of those breathing exercises now.  It really helps me relax, especially at night for getting back to sleep.  The breathing in one nostril is a new one,  so I will give it a try tonight. ;) and let you know

    Dear @KarynJ,
    Thanks for your post. At night if I can't sleep I breathe and say to myself 'In, two three four; out, two three four'. This helps to shut out stupid thoughts which are squirreling around.

    We practice the alternate nostril breathing........Nadi Shodhana........ in yoga. It's meant to have lots of beneficial effects on your health by supplying oxygen to all different parts of the body ............and also gives your nose a good workout !
    There's lots of youtube videos you can practice with .
