Seconded. For reference, Wim Hof is derivative of Tummo, which is quite an old technique and it's easy to find examples of how to practice. But like you said it is pretty easy to get the basics of Wim Hof free online without subscribing to his program.

You can also download the Wim Hof app for free, which has a feature to guide you through the breathing exercise in a more personalized way.

I felt the same, so I eased into it. Personally I didn't find it a magical cure.

If I said anything has a pronounced effect on sleep restfulness or concentration it's been whole plant based food which I tried incorporating in my diet more after watching Forks over Knives.

I still eat the occasional meat and cheese, but I found especially useful to replace dinner with WPBF. I naturally, i.e. without alarm, wake up after 6-7h of sleep instead of 9-10h, and I feel much more awake during the day.

I think it's mostly that if you eat heavy (greasy, meaty, cheesy) food in the evening your digestive system is so busy you can't sleep properly.

I would say the effect is much larger than cutting out alcohol, even though that's of course also helpful.
