Summary

This trial compares two yogic breathing techniques—Simha Pranayama (Lion's Breath) and Bhramari Pranayama (Humming Bee Breath)—to see if they can improve sleep and quality of life in healthy, working adults. Participants practice one of the two techniques daily for one month. Sleep quality is measured with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and quality of life with the SF-36 questionnaire.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
two yogic breathing techniques: Simha Pranayama (Lion's Breath) and Bhramari Pranayama (Humming Bee Breath)
What this could lead to
If one technique proves more effective, it could offer a simple, drug-free way to improve sleep and daily well-being for healthy adults.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 68 participants, and the results may not apply to everyone. The techniques require correct practice, and benefits may be modest.
