Breathing Exercises for Morning Anxiety 晨间焦虑呼吸法
The cortisol awakening response (CAR) spikes cortisol 50–100% within 30 minutes of waking. Extended-exhale breathing (4-6) before getting out of bed blunts this spike and sets a calmer hormonal tone for the day.
皮质醇觉醒反应（CAR）在醒来30分钟内使皮质醇飙升50–100%。起床前的延长呼气（4-6）可钝化这一高峰，为全天设定更平静的激素基调。
