Nasal Breathing for Focused Work

During focused work sessions that don’t require speaking, eating, or drinking, keep breathing through your nose rather than switching to mouth or mixed breathing. This simple protocol is associated with better learning and concentration, likely because nasal breathing supports steadier airflow and a calmer physiological state.

Well, you could imagine, and I think this would be beneficial for most people, to focus on nasal breathing while doing any kind of focused work that doesn't require that you speak or eat or ingest something.
