Non-sleep deep rest (NSDR) is a deep relaxation technique named by neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman, but it is based on the guided meditation practice yoga nidra (sleep), which originated many centuries ago in ancient India. NSDR aims to transport an individual to the relaxed state of mind typically experienced right before falling asleep — without actually sleeping. NSDR uses classic relaxation techniques like focused breathing and body scanning to promote calmness, allowing the mind to rest in between sleep and active wakefulness. It gives you control over awareness, perception, and above all, rest.NSDR is a relaxation exercise, not meditation. It regulates your nervous system and teaches the brain how to relax.One key goal of NSDR is to calm the mind by slowing down cognitive processes like thinking. In fact, NSDR aims to reduce the brain’s operational frequency to a rate of only 1-3 thoughts per minute compared to the average of 35 during everyday wakefulness. This lower frequency range is consistent with delta brain waves, which typically only occur during the deepest stages of sleep and are associated with restorative and relaxed brain function. Once these delta brainwave patterns are tapped into, the parasympathetic nervous system, also known as the rest-and-digest system, is activated.
