A minute to follow your breath.
Five seconds in, five seconds out, without holding. Follow only while comfortable; pause to return to your natural breath.

Choose a rhythm
Open Breathing in Sleepi and choose a pattern. Balanced breathing uses equal five-second inhalations and exhalations without a hold. Box breathing adds pauses between the four phases. The 4–7–8 option uses a four-second inhale, seven-second hold and eight-second exhale. Choose what feels comfortable; you can stop a session at any time.
Set the session
The app offers session lengths of one, three, five or ten minutes, with optional voice cues and haptic feedback. Pick a background you enjoy and start the visual guide. The preview on this page demonstrates a simple one-minute rhythm; the app provides the pattern and session controls.
Keep it gentle
Breathe gently rather than trying to force a deep breath or complete a hold. If the timing feels uncomfortable, pause and return to your normal breathing. This is a relaxation feature, not a treatment. The NHS guide linked below describes comfortable, unforced breathing.
