Box breathing is four equal phases: breathe in for four, hold for four, out for four, hold for four. Because every phase is the same length there is nothing to remember and nothing to get wrong, which is why it holds up when you are under pressure and cannot think clearly.
It is a steadying technique rather than a sedating one. If you want to fall asleep, the extended-exhale patterns work better; if you want to settle before something demanding, this is the one.
The same thing, on your phone
ALISI runs this and five other techniques offline, with haptics so you can close your eyes, and keeps a record of what you have done.
