How to restore your energy in

10 minutes.

Non-Sleep Deep Rest


(backed by science):
Dr. Andrew Huberman is a neuroscientist
and professor at Stanford.

He coined “Non-Sleep Deep Rest” — a


technique to quickly recharge the brain,
also known as Yoga Nidra.

(Google CEO Sundar Pichai swears by it).

You get the benefits of sleep without


actually falling asleep.

The best part?

It only takes 10 minutes…


NAME NAME

Step 1:

Find a quiet place where you won’t be


disturbed.

Get into a comfortable position (ideally


lying down).
NAME NAME

Step 2:

Listen to a Yoga Nidra or NSDR track.


(I’ve used this one):

You’ll be guided through a series of


breathing exercises and body scans.
NAME NAME

—Why it works—

The breathing exercises put your body in


a state of deep relaxation (by slowing
your heart rate).

The mental body scans help your brain


waves decrease in frequency. (Your
thoughts can slow from 35 thoughts per
minute to 1-3)!

If done right, a 10-minute session can


equate to 1-2 hours of restorative sleep.

which can promote learning
● Relieves stress
● Improves cognitive function
● Improves sleep quality
● Enhances focus and mental clarity
● Can help with pain management

Your energy is your most precious
