  • Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) refers to techniques such as yoga nidra or certain forms of meditation that allow the mind and body to deeply relax without actually sleeping. These methods can help improve focus, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being by promoting restorative relaxation.
    In this video, Andrew & Rhonda cover:
    • How NSDR restores mental & physical vigor
    • The study that found 1 hour of yoga nidra boosts striatal dopamine 60% over baseline
    • Why people who struggle falling asleep would benefit from 10-20 minutes of NSDR done at any time of day or night
    • How NSDR differs from meditation
    • If NSDR can effectively "replace lost sleep"
    • Why Andrew prefers doing NSDR in the morning
    • What happened when Rhonda did NSDR after a night of poor sleep
    • The possible creativity & trauma therapy benefits of NSDR

    When I was in my early 20's I worked in a large machine shop with non stop noise and loud obnoxious machines. Most of the employees where jerks and it was a hard place to work. We were given an hour lunch break and almost everyone gathered in the break room and just continued the noise and chatter. I discovered that I could sneak off to the very quite warehouse, eat my lunch and then recline on pallets of card board boxes. I discovered that in 15-20 minutes of relaxing, clearing my mind I could recharge myself as much as if I was getting on a full nights sleep. I continue to do this 40 years later with the same results. I have always just called it a nap, but I now realize it is something more.

    I can’t speak for Hinduism, but in Buddhism, meditation is supposed to be a relaxed state of letting go where you abandon the process of thinking and doing. In fact the way he describes yoga nidra is exactly how meditation has been taught to me by various monks, and that the idea of using meditation to focus is completely wrong. The goal of meditation is not to focus on the breath. Focusing on the breath or a meditation object of choice is not required, it’s just a useful technique to help you relax if you find your mind is wandering/etc. Another common practice in meditation and very emphasized practice is to have body awareness. Buddha teaches to scan the body and to relax, rest, let go of thoughts and intentions, be in the moment, etc. I’m only commenting this because the pervasive conception of meditation as a concentration practice is the exact opposite of the purpose and essence of meditation

      That is just one form of meditation. I think a meditation practice needs a combination of concentration as well as letting go. I will say I always found concentration practices to be boring/tedious so I have a bias towards letting go practices. Awakening/Realization can happen in many ways and there are many paths. I find it fascinating and sad at the same time how so many people live their whole lives in a subject/object split. Very sad to me that so many people do not realize their true nature that is right in front of their face. We are so wrapped up in our identities and thoughts, that we never stop, turn within and inquire.

      well, maybe for some. ADHD is another cause of restlessness at bedtime. To manage, I pace gently inside my house while watching something educational (its not exciting, so I have to press in with my attention). As I pace, I pass the counter with my postits, so I can trap thoughts, organize plans etc. Then I usually can sleep with a relaxed body and mind after a short prayer.

It was a silent retreat, but still I couldn’t sleep, too weird, so I got about eight hours of sleep in 10 days! but I meditated for about four hours a day and I will tell you i left there so transformed and so energized (though I did release a lot of anger had a major healing) but, I never had to make up the loss of sleep.

    I found the real important part is to lay on the floor on your back, carpet preferably, cuz you need a firm surface to give your body support and set a timer and for that time to do nothing. No phone, calls, texting, talking, nothing.
    The goal I always had was to have my body and mind completely resting, no effort being put towards anything whatsoever for those 10-15min. And ya, I agree, it makes a HUGE difference in my energy level and my ability to feel refreshed enough to be useful for the rest of the evening. Some days work better than others but ya, HIGHLY recommend!

Had a bulging disk in my neck for 10 years. Healed itself but still mindful of how I sit, stand and the position of my head and shoulders. If I could sleep at night & remove the stressors in my life it would lessen that by 90 per cent. I had one $100 CAD massage from a young Asian lady and I felt the benefits for 4 days.

    I practice "Yoganidra" regularly using "Shavasan" (Corpse Pose) & deep breathing and due to my long practice, I can sometimes go beyond one hour. Quite often, after about 30 to 40 minutes, my pulse rate drops to 50 BPM ! It is truly refreshing. I am always fully awake, but my body goes into deep sleep. At the end, I come out of it slowly.
    One should be disciplined enough to really practice total lifelessness without moving any part of your body (except the lungs) even a millimeter. You should learn to resist the urges for small scratching or moving a limb, that you would feel initially. Once you overcome the urge for couple of minutes, it will go away automatically and then will not bother you again. Being truly in Shavasan and breathing deeply is the key. Thoughts in the mind will keep coming and going.

    Meditation is not only focused awareness. In Patangali's 8 limbs of Yoga this is called Dharana. There are two higher levels-, Dhyana and Samadhi. It's certainly not new agie. And intention setting and showing gratitude, you will find, is a very important part of this practice- (which Western science really needs to explore and embrace in a more holistic and contextual way) These three stages of Meditation are the foundations of authentic Yoga and Meditation. Thousands of years of observation and progressive development supports these practices. Western science is just tipping the top of that iceberg.

    This is really interesting. I have recently started using my watch to monitor my sleep with the intention of improving quality. I was doing this type of breathing last night and was surprised that my watch interpreted it as my being asleep when I checked it this morning. Unfortunately the practise never did put me to sleep even when it was part of a daily routine.

    When I was a child my mother would send us to bed early and require us to lay still and and not make noise until we fell asleep. because I often was not tired I did just lay there and really started to develop deep though and this habit continued into my later years and believe this is a key part of understanding yourself and connecting your conscious and subconscious mind.

    We have created a society so separated from our natural state of existence that it needs a research lab to create a protocol for “Resting my eyes”. It is fascinating how the mechanism works but I think what’s most important here is that it works whether we understand it or not. If we could focus our efforts on creating purposeful communities designed around human well being the body will mostly regulate itself. A protocol is not a solution, it’s a treatment for a symptom of a larger illness. We need to focus on curing the disease. We’ve traded life for trinkets

In fact an intelligent person sometimes just becomes a prisoner to their mind and in order to feel less isolated will share their mental anguish/burden with others.

    Yoga / stretching improves balance and flexibility. This is a good place to start before adding weight training.
    Move on to riding a bicycle which helps improve aerobic capacity and balance.
    As these improve add some form of weight / resistance training once or twice a week.
    The key is to improve balance, flexibility, cardio capacity, and strength in a gradual manner without any injury which will set you back and add frustration.
    Quality of life is key. You need balance, flexibility, cardio fitness and strength. Train to improve without injury.

As someone dealing with everything just mentioned, I get very bogged down by my obsessions and suffer from severe mental fatigue. Seems like it's safe to assume that NSDR would at least provide some relief? I actually mediated (in a way that seemed more like NSDR because I didn't focus on anything) once for about 15 minutes before a meeting and felt fantastic/rejuvenated for the next several hours. I'm going to try NSDR with scripts everyday for the next month (for 10-20 minutes each day, maybe 30) and report my results here.
