The stress hack better than a nap

Good morning friends,

We’re all looking for ways to switch off stress quickly.
Most people turn to coffee, naps, or even medication.
But what if the answer was hidden in something your body already knows how to do?

The science of humming
A recent study compared humming to medication and even sleep-and humming came out on top for stress relief.

Here’s why:

• Humming activates your parasympathetic nervous system, the body’s built-in “chill mode.”

• It triggers endorphins, easing pain and boosting mood.

• It increases oxytocin-the “bonding hormone” that makes you feel warm and connected.

• It spikes nitric oxide production in your airways by up to 15,000%, opening circulation and clearing your respiratory system.

No wonder ancient yogic practices like Bhramari Pranayama have used humming for centuries.

My personal discovery
Last year, during the most stressful period of my wife’s health challenges, I found myself humming without even realizing it. Washing dishes, stuck in traffic, walking the dog-my body naturally reached for this tool.

When I started doing it intentionally, the change was immediate. Stress didn’t vanish overnight, but it became manageable. I felt sharper, calmer, and—honestly—unstoppable.

How to try it today

• Pick a tune you love (doesn’t matter what).

• Hum gently for 2–5 minutes.

• Breathe through your nose, stay relaxed, and notice how your body shifts.

No pills, no fuss-just your own built-in reset button.

The stress won’t disappear, but your ability to handle it will skyrocket.
