Portable Practice
The practice is intended to be simple enough for bedtime or nighttime awakenings and should avoid unnecessary reading or performance pressure.
Diaphragmatic Breathing
Diaphragmatic Breathing is a CBT-I relaxation-practice tool for practitioners and insomnia clients. It helps the client practice slow abdominal or diaphragmatic breathing with attention to pace, belly movement, and relaxed exhalation so they can use a portable arousal-reduction skill at bedtime or during nighttime awakenings.
