Research; it will be carried out Kilis 7 Aralik University Yusuf Serefoglu Health Sciences Faculty, Department of Nursing. The training will take approximately 20 minutes in an empty classroom and will be planned when the students' classes finish. Thus, educational activities in the institution will not be disrupted. Participants will be asked to do the taught exercise in half an hour before going to sleep every evening during the research period (4 weeks). Training will begin when the determined number of samples is reached. The training will be terminated when the 4-week research period determined to see the effect of the application expires.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
4-7-8 Breathing Exercise TrainingBehavioural
Participants in the intervention group will be taught 4-7-8 breathing exercises collectively, and the training will be repeated on specified days (twice a week for a total of 4 weeks). During the training, it will be checked whether each participant in the intervention group can perform the breathing exercise correctly and feedback will be given. Participants who fail to implement the exercise will be excluded from the study. 4-7-8 breathing exercise training, prepared in accordance with the literature, will be given by the assistant researcher who has training and certification in breathing exercises. Training will be planned in an empty classroom, for approximately 20 minutes and at the students' end time. Thus, educational activities in the institution will not be disrupted.
