Arnold Schwarzenegger is back with his newsletter, and this time he tackles the issue of getting better sleep.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is concerned about three topics, and these are “The Ted Lasso sleep method”, “A life-changing question”, and “Can you freeze away fat?” The first topic is what Schwarzenegger dives into, to help alleviate the sleeping problems of countless people.

Schwarzenegger wrote in the newsletter, “If you’re struggling to get better rest — or simply relax at the end of the day — steal a page from Ted Lasso’s therapist. A simple breathing exercise can not only improve your rest, but it also can reduce anxiety, fight cravings, and improve your health. The popular show shared the 4-7-8 method to help Lasso deal with panic attacks. But the breathing technique, which is based on pranayama yoga and popularized by Dr. Andrew Weil, is incredibly effective at improving sleep”.

For the unversed, in Ted Lasso, Dr. Sharon Fieldstone (played by Sarah Niles), a sports psychologist is hired by the AFC Richmond team to help players cope with the mental health issues that result from being a footballer amidst high pressure. She takes up Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) as her client, who after initially refusing to open up to her, finally shares about his panic attacks. It eventually turns out that it has been linked to his dad’s passing. During those sections, Dr. Fieldstone suggests the 4-7-8 method and other ways to help Ted Lasso better deal with his anxiety attacks.

It is not just the Austrian Oak but his ex-wife and million others who want to steal a page from the award-winning show. Maria Shriver explains it really well. Take a look!

How Ted Lasso is changing lives?

Citing the same method and linking it with a research-backed study, Schwarzenegger adds that the method helps calm the body and mind, improves heart rate, lowers anxiety and blood pressure, etc. All of these issues, if solved, can tremendously help in getting better quality sleep.

Maria shared an Instagram reel dedicated to appreciate the show. She wrote, “Ted Lasso is one of my favorite shows, and there is a reason why (besides getting to watch it with my son, @c1lotsoffun). I love it because it helps show the realities of mental health. It helps take away the stigma of asking for help, of leaning on others, of being vulnerable. It shows people in all walks of life, from all parts of the world, being a team. It shows them believing in a common good, something I truly believe we can achieve if we come together.”
