Practices that may help
- Yoga Nidra & NSDR for Recovery
Yoga nidra — popularized in modern form as "non-sleep deep rest" (NSDR) — is a guided practice that puts you in a deeply relaxed, conscious state between waking and sleep, used to recover energy, calm the nervous system, and offset poor sleep. The relaxation mechanism is plausible and small studies are encouraging, but the evidence is still emerging — this is a low-risk recovery practice, not a proven substitute for sleep. - Use non-sleep deep rest (NSDR) for a midday reset
A 10–20 minute NSDR or yoga nidra session restores alertness without the grogginess of a full nap.
