How to sleep less and better naturally? Do sleep duration in hours relates to breathing rates in breaths per minute? Can one sleep only 4 or even 2 hours? The answers are in this video: Breathing and duration of sleep.
You can find the Sleep Table on this

The Spanish version of this page is
“Duerma menos (solo 4.5 horas) y trabaje mejor naturalmente” -
Factores de estilo de vida a corto plazo para tener menor tiempo de
dormir
Dr. Artour Rakhimov gives his personal
example of his previous sleep patterns. He started practicing the
Buteyko method about 15 years ago. His results for the body oxygen
test or CP (control pause) was about 8 to 10 seconds. While his
sleep quality was horrible and he would regularly sleep over 10
hours. Artour would wake up a few times during the night with
nightmares and it would be difficult to fall back asleep.
With a higher CP, sleep duration
shortens and the quality of sleep improves. When the CP gets over
20, sleep starts to shorten to 7 and a half hours. With over 30
seconds for the CP, sleep gets down to about 6 hours. This CP allows
more time for physical exercise and in turn a higher CP. When you
get over 50 to 60 CP, there are no chronic diseases and you sleep
from 4 to 4 and a half hours (with maybe a 5 to 10-minute nap).
These higher CPs are considered the golden standard by Dr. Buteyko.
Dr. Buteyko had his sleep shortened to 2 hours per nigh with
breathing retraining.
That also allows to treat sleep apnea
naturally, eliminate any signs or symptoms of snoring or bruxism
(tooth grinding). Sleep paralysis and sleep walking also disappear
completely.
In yoga books written 60 to 70 years
ago, yoga masters would only have 2 hours of sleep. During this time
period, yogis had a proper understanding of pranayama or breath
control. Soviet doctors studying the Buteyko Method came to the same
conclusion about only needing 2 hours of sleep for practitioners.
Other factors that affect sleep duration include controlling your
thermoregulation at night, grounding and having sufficient nutrients.
Dr. Artour Rakhimov teaches groups of
students and Buteyko practitioners when traveling to New York City
and Los Angeles. These classes include the standard NormalBreathing
course (about 12-15 hours), as well as lessons for future
practitioners. His method includes all the essential elements of the
classical (original) Buteyko technique as well as additional elements
such as using breathing devices.
A fundamental part of the
NormalBreathing teaching is the CP test or body oxygen test. The
first requirement for the test is to take it on an empty stomach.
You simply sit for about 5-7 minutes. After this time has passed
wait for the next natural exhale, pinch your nose and count how many
seconds pass until the natural feeling to inhale occurs. The desire
to inhale will be felt coming from the diaphragm or throat. The
breath holding time should not be extended for as long as possible.
Be sensitive to stop breathing when the body desires to breathe. The
CP is most significant when measured first thing in the morning.
Since at this time, most people's CP has a tendency to drop. This is
mainly due to sleep positions and many other lifestyle factors as
mentioned in the previous videos.
Along with a higher CP comes greater
health and specific benefits for each stage. Over 50 seconds for the
CP allows one to breath without any effort through the nose. There
is a strong desire to exercise and it is enjoyable to do so. The
mind is focused and able to clearly concentrate on tasks. The desire
to eat unhealthy foods is eliminated and in particular foods with a
high sugar content. Likewise, addictions to smoking, drugs and
alcohol disappear. While a natural tendency to eat raw foods
develops. Additionally, proper posture starts to happen naturally
and the duration of sleep greatly shortens.
