How can a double inhale and exhale help with stress, as explained in the episode The Science of Small Change | Andrew Huberman | Knowledge Project and the clip Breathing for Calm?
What is the neurological mechanism that calms one down when breathing with long exhales, as discussed in the Huberman Lab Podcast episode "How to Breathe Correctly for Optimal Health, Mood, Learning & Performance" and the clip "Breathing Techniques"?
Is this correct: The physiological sigh is a natural breathing pattern that occurs in humans and animals to regulate stress and enhance calmness. It involves taking a deep inhale, followed by a brief second inhale (through the nose), and then a long exhale (preferably through the mouth). This double inhale inflates the alveoli, ensuring they remain open and can rebalance the ratio of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body.
