Description
NSDR (Non-Sleep Deep Rest) is a method that allows you to quickly restore energy in 10 to 30 minutes through a semi-awake state. The core of NSDR is guided meditation, which helps you achieve relaxation and recovery through techniques such as deep breathing and body scanning. NSDR can provide effects similar to a nap without actually falling asleep and without affecting nighttime sleep. It has been popularized by Stanford University neuroscientist Andrew Huberman and is widely used in Silicon Valley.
