Wim Hof explains why people fall asleep during his breathwork. He says it's a sign your body needs rest, and you should let yourself sleep. When you're truly stressed, the breathing makes you feel awake and refreshed instead.

Chapters

Why do I fall asleep during the breathing exercise? Because you needed it. You needed to switch off. And relax. Have a nice sleep. Let the Sandman come with his gold dust and— oh. And you have a nice sleep. If you feel really stressed, man, go do this breathing and have a nice sleep. But you will find when you have stress that this breathing exercise will not make you asleep. But will make you awake and fresh and new.
