3. Laugh loud. It is a great way to make us laugh to relive the past, or to read a comic book, or to re-watch comedy movie. When we laugh from the heart, our immunity will strengthen with the decline of pressure-causing hormone -- cortisone. Its effect can last for 24 hours. Interestingly, it begins to work when you're feeling funny. You can also try to release your stress by shouting or crying loud instead.

That is to say, do six breathing cycles every minute: inhale and hold for 5 seconds, then exhale and hold for 5 seconds. The breathing rhythm of 5-second exhale and 5-second inhale keeps pace with the natural 10-second fluctuation of blood pressure. This synchronization is beneficial to tranquilizing one quickly and the health of cardiovascular system.

Lack of sleep will result in poor memory, irritability, anger, and declined attention, even a variety of physiological diseases.
