We sigh when we're relaxed because it helps us feel calm inside. When your body feels tired, a big breath comes in, and then you let it out with a sigh. This makes your chest feel light and gives your brain a little break, just like taking a nap after playing too long.
Examples
- After finishing your favorite snack, you let out a big sigh and feel relaxed.
- You sigh when you finally sit down after walking all day.
- Your friend lets out a sigh after laughing at a joke, it makes them look more relaxed.
