How to restore your energy
in 10 mins.
Non-Sleep Deep Rest
(backed by science):
Dr. Andrew Huberman is a neuroscientist
and professor at Stanford.
He coined “Non-Sleep Deep Rest” — a
technique to quickly recharge the brain,
also known as Yoga Nidra.
(Google CEO Sundar Pichai swears by it).
You get the benefits of sleep without
actually falling asleep.
The best part?
It only takes 10 minutes…
Step 1:
Find a quiet place where you won’t be
disturbed.
Get into a comfortable position (ideally
lying down).
Step 2:
Listen to an NSDR or Yoga Nidra track.
(I recommend this one):
You’ll be guided through a series of
breathing exercises and body scans.
—Why it works—
The breathing exercises put your body in
a state of deep relaxation (by slowing
your heart rate).
The mental body scans help your brain
waves decrease in frequency. (Your
thoughts can slow from 35 thoughts per
minute to 1-3)!
If done right, a 10-minute session can
equate to 1-2 hours of restorative sleep.
