🧘Wind Down Fast: 4-7-8 Breathing Sound with Cocoon Pro

If racing thoughts are stealing your sleep, a quick breathing meditation may be the reset you need. Meditation can be practiced in many ways, so there is bound to be a collection of techniques that resonate with each individual, and with each person's situation. For example, if you’re a bath person, a tub meditation may be perfect for your next soak; those who like to move may prefer a walking meditation.

If you only have five minutes for meditation, you can still make it work for you. With Cocoon Pro, you can try a guided 4-7-8 breathing exercise—right from your sound machine.

🌬️ What Is 4-7-8 Breathing?

It’s a calming breath technique designed to slow your heart rate and quiet your mind. The rhythm is simple:

• Inhale for 4 seconds

• Hold for 7 seconds

• Exhale for 8 seconds

This breathing pattern helps relax the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and create space for rest.

🔊 Now a Sound in Your Cocoon Pro

Cocoon Pro includes 4-7-8 Breathing in its sound library. A gentle cue sound guides your inhale, hold, and exhale—so you don’t need to count or watch the clock. Just follow the rhythm and let go.

You can find it in the Hotmoon App, then:

• Save it to a Sound Button for quick one-tap access

• Or add it as a step in your Bedtime Routine

Just 1–3 minutes of guided breathing can be enough to shift your state from alert to relaxed.

🌙 Build Your Routine Around It

Using the same steps nightly helps anchor your body’s internal clock and improves sleep quality over time.

Here’s a bedtime routine idea using Cocoon Pro:

1. Flute Music (5 min) — a gentle signal to slow down

2. 4-7-8 Breathing (3 min) — settle your breath and calm your body

3. Brainwave Music (10 min) — prepare your mind for rest

4. Light Rain Sound (Nonstop) — drift into sleep with peaceful background noise
