NSDR is a relaxation practice that involves pretending to sleep to trigger deep relaxation, with some claims equating one hour of practice to four hours of sleep. The term NSDR is linked to Andrew Huberman, whose claims have been criticized as conservative-coded pseudoscience. Yoga nidra, meaning “yogic sleep,” is described as a guided meditation that activates the parasympathetic nervous system, slowing breathing and reducing muscle tension. A key caveat is that it does not put people into deep or REM sleep, and it is not comparable to real sleep. A psychiatrist and sleep specialist says it is not a replacement for actual sleep but can be a better alternative to lying awake stressed.
