- If you struggle to sleep, you know that a restless night can mean increased anxiety, lack of focus, and decreased memory. Patrick McKeown’s advice for better sleep and less anxiety? Functional breathing.
Patrick first started experimenting with breathwork while at university. He was suffering from an inability to sleep which resulted in high anxiety, increased stress, and failure to focus. Patrick found the solution to a good night’s sleep in functional breathing. He has since dedicated his life to studying breathing and sleep disorders.
Join Suzanne and Patrick as they talk about how breathing impacts your health and life, why nose breathing is the foundation of healthy breathing patterns, how to reduce the risk of sleep disorders, how to stimulate the vagus nerve, and more.
Topics Include:
Patrick McKeown's backstory. Understanding the fundamentals of breathing. Proper breathing technique. Simple tricks to fix snoring. The proper way to take a deep breath. Signs of dysfunctional breathing in infants and adults. A simple test to identify dysfunctional breathing. Breathing exercises for COVID and anxiety patients. How to decongest your nose in five minutes. And other topics...
Patrick McKeown is a graduate of Trinity College Dublin. In 2002, Patrick completed his clinical training in the Buteyko Breathing Method at the Buteyko Clinic, Moscow, Russia. This training was accredited by Professor Konstantin Buteyko.
Having suffered from asthma, rhinitis, and sleep-disordered breathing for over 20 years, Patrick offers both theoretical knowledge and his own experiences to help clients to overcome similar challenges.
To date, Patrick has written seven books and produced four DVD sets about the Buteyko Method, including three Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk category bestsellers: Close Your Mouth, Asthma-Free Naturally, and Anxiety Free: Stop Worrying and Quieten your Mind. His latest book, titled "The Oxygen Advantage", enhances sports performance by improving functional breathing patterns and applying unique breath-hold exercises to simulate altitude training at sea level.

Thank you Patrick!! I've listened to this a few times and it gives me hope that by breathing correctly I can overcome my problems, insomnia, anxiety etc.
He seems to always bring new information in each podcast. Thanks!
Thank you Suzanne . Thank you generous Patrick❣. In addition to improved sleep, (on back with few extra pillows), taping my mouth has also imposed my dental care! 🙏🙏
Great session! I’ve known Patrick for several years, been certified directly with him for 2.5 yrs and this is a very ON session he gave. Thorough and potent! Thank you

So informative. Thank you from bringing this knowledge to us. A lot of people struggle without hope for a solution. Your research and sharing of your knowledge is greatly appreciated 🙌🏽
Awesome! Thanks a lot.
I had covid and Patrick’s exercises were invaluable, thank you Patrick for all you do.
yes! finally at least somebody recognized the broad value of this breathing exercise! 👍 It should be recommended from doctors to do it as prevention for many diseases.
I had the same experience when I had Covid. It (Covid) got into my chest but I focused on the breathing exercises. My family just tells people I "didn’t get it that bad”. When I’m present I explain the breathing exercises. I had/have predisposing factors due to radiation damage to my lungs from radiation therapy. I believe these exercises were a big factor in coming through so 'easily'
they can't make any money with this@
Thanks!
This was fantastic! Thank you so much for this interview
Thanks for the upload with Patt
Thanks Patrick🙏🏼
very interesting ! thanks
Hello Patrick. My son and daughter in law were in Trinity in the chemistry section in the 90s. As far as I know i always breath through the nose though i have my doubts about when asleep. Im going to follow your advice. Slán leat.
I just want to comment that I have readjusted my breathing to natural nasal breathing and have also had chronic fatigue for 20 years. I haven't noticed any difference in the quality of my sleep nor my mental clarity nor energy levels
Very good discussion. Suzanne have you thought about a voice coach? The strangulated squeaky quality is stressful to hear and listen to. It needs opening up and softening.. Offered with best wishes.
Thanks so much
He breathed the breath of life into the man's nostrils,and the man became a living person. Genesis 2:7
Praise God who created breath!
Grow up🤦♂️
Correct if u don't believe read Genesis 1 and 2 and 3 CHAPTERS
Excelente. Gratidão 🙏
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
03:04 🛌 *Proper breathing, especially through the nose, is crucial for addressing sleep disorders and improving sleep quality.*
08:51 🌬️ *Dysfunctional breathing is common and can be influenced by factors like stress, trauma, and lifestyle choices. The foundation of good breathing is in and out through the nose.*
11:09 💤 *Breathing through the nose during sleep can help reduce the risk of sleep disorders, including insomnia, snoring, and obstructive sleep apnea.*
19:32 🧠 *Different phenotypes in sleep apnea, such as anatomical and non-anatomical factors, can impact breathing during sleep. Understanding and addressing these factors can contribute to better sleep.*
23:37 🌙 *Deep sleep is a vital component of mental health, and addressing breathing patterns is crucial for achieving quality sleep, contributing to overall well-being.*
24:33 🛌 *Nasal breathing during sleep is crucial for overall health, as emphasized by Dr. Christian Gimeneau, a founding father of sleep medicine.*
25:31 🗣️ *About 50% of the adult population wakes up with a dry mouth, indicating the importance of addressing breathing patterns during sleep for better health.*
28:16 🍼 *Anatomically compromised airways in children, tongue tie issues, and modern dietary changes contribute to altered facial development affecting breathing.*
32:44 🤔 *Talking extensively can lead to faster and harder breathing, affecting carbon dioxide levels and oxygen delivery to the brain.*
34:20 ⏱️ *Using breath-hold time measurement can indicate dysfunctional breathing, with a breath-hold time greater than 25 seconds suggesting healthy breathing patterns.*
49:51 🛌 *When addressing obstructive sleep apnea, lying on the back may not be the best posture, as it can lead to the soft palate or tongue collapsing against the airway.*
50:35 🧘♂️ *Maintaining proper posture during sleep involves keeping the mouth closed, the tongue against the palate, and avoiding head tilt, ensuring total alignment of the airway.*
51:05 👃 *Postural changes during sleep are normal, often influenced by the nasal cycle every two hours, leading people to switch sides for optimal breathing.*
51:46 🌬️ *Occasional deep breaths are not harmful, but the focus should be on establishing daily breathing habits, especially avoiding frequent sighing, yawning, or mouth breathing.*
53:11 ⚠️ *Be cautious with stress-inducing breathing exercises like hyperventilation, understanding their potential impact and emphasizing the importance of recovery with light breathing afterward.*

Can nose breathing can be use for people with COPD?
Hi Patrick, where can I buy the mouth tape?
What about inhaling through the nose and then exhaling through the same most of the breath, and at the very end, opening the mouth and putting the tongue to the floor and pushing out the breath with your abdomen through the mouth?
There is a deep focus and high enery after hyperventilation
What if you had your adenoids removed- would that compromise proper breathing techniques?
I breathe through my nose - no dry mouth - but I still don’t sleep.
Which book specifically was Patrick referring to at 46mins in to the video please?
What does Patrick mean by breathing LIGHT yet DEEPLY?
You breath in quietly instead of noisily
just a test of adding a comment
A physical demonstration would have been better.
Interesting, my comment got removed👎
what was it! some accounts have auto delete for certain words/ if it was a positive question it should be here... i am seeing this one / maybe type it here...
Can people with Copd can use the the method of nose breathing too?
SKIP ALL THE INTRO- GET TO THE POINT!!!
