Abstract in brief
- Insomniacs show reduced vagal activity compared to good sleepers, but practicing slow paced breathing (at 0.1Hz) for 20 minutes before sleep can increase their HRV and improve sleep quality.
- During slow paced breathing, insomnia sufferers experienced shorter sleep onset, fewer awakenings, and higher sleep efficiency, indicating better sleep.
- The study suggests that autonomic dysfunction, particularly related to vagal activity, in insomniacs can be mitigated through controlled breathing exercises, helping to enhance sleep outcomes.
