Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR): A Science Supported Tool for De-Stress and Relaxation
Ғылым және технология
Certain forms of experience put us into powerfully restorative states, similar to sleep.
Non-Sleep Deep Rest is supported by such studies and can be done any time of day or night to rapidly reset our ability to calm, focus, and, when needed, ease the transition to sleep.
Please post comments or questions below about your experience with NSDR.

Where do you think the research comes from? Medical Doctors couldn’t be medical doctors without PhD doctors/scientists. Also if you ever actually went to college you would realize that there are many forms of doctors. Not all doctors practice medicine And most higher level professors posses a doctorate degree. They are addressed as Dr. that is their credential. A medical doctor is an MD. Those aren’t the only doctors.

Currently studying at university and I literally do this at least 3 times a day between my studies. At this point I can’t go into a class without being refreshed from NSDR. It’s the perfect reboot for my mind and body, I no longer feel the drag of the day catching up to me! Thank you for this godsend

I’ve been using this video for several months and only today I realized I never heard it till the end because I fall asleep about 3/4 into it. Awesome! Thanks for not running ads too. Edit: unfortunate there are now adds in this video. Defeats the purpose of falling asleep to only be woken up in the end of the video by an ad. If you have to run them, do it in the beginning of the video but not in the end.
Dr Huberman is a real gem. How could i ever repay you ?
Had a headache from not enough sleep last night, this has completely reset my mood and brain! God I’m grateful for this and to think it’s all just the power of the mind. 🤯
Dr. Huberman sent us and I appreciate he did that! Easily the most well done “Yoga Nidra” script out there! Plus it’s also less than 25min which strikes the perfect balance!

NSDR has been a game changer for my racing mind. Thank you so much! Andrew Huberman brought me here and I'm grateful for both your channels 🙌

When focusing on the body I felt a tingling sensation. When it brought me to full body it was surreal! This was amazing. Recommended by my counselor months ago and really wish I would’ve tried it sooner.
I felt very anxious with the long breathing and body part exercises. I had to stop. I almost felt like I was going to stop breathing or suffocate. I'll try again tomorrow. I'm grateful for the awareness that this brought to deeper feelings ❤

It worked! I had been trying to go to sleep for 2 hours - I put this on (after some trouble getting the voice to be the right volume so that it didn't keep me awake and didn't become too low to understand the speaker) I felt connected to the universe, the world, the city, the home, my room, my body - and fell asleep connected. That's the way to fall asleep. Thank you. Warmest regards Jennie
Thanks for this! It's so nicely put together. I appreciate it being not whacky at all, unlike so many other videos coming up when searching non sleep deep rest.

The tingling is because your muscles aren't getting adequate oxygen, since slow breathing out techniques increase carbon dioxide in the body. The tingling will gradually stop as you practice nsdr more, plus you'll have greater breath control.

I was feeling extremely anxious due to lack of sleep and stress and this was like hitting reset.

I just had a weird experience. I've been struggling with insomnia and anxiety for the past three months; most nights I sleep for 4 hours and then I'm awake and there's no getting back to sleep. Tonight, I tried this for the very first time. By the time I was mentally repeating the names of the various body parts, I started having visions and hearing things - just as if I was having a dream WHILE being conscious and doing the exercise. Afterwards, I fell asleep and got a nice one and a half hours in - which was like the sweetest nap I've had in a while! THANKS!!
Does anyone else get goosebumps when he says “the WHOLE body”?
I used it before sleeping and I was awake all night. So I am defenitly using it during the day
