Slow, deep belly breathing — like the 4-7-8 method in which you inhale for four seconds, hold your breath for seven seconds and exhale for eight seconds ― is known to increase relaxation and bring on sleep.
Furthermore, simply focusing on your breath can take the mind off other concerns and worries and bring you to the present moment. Taking your focus away from the environment and placing it on something entirely in your control (the breath) helps the mind to settle and become calm.
