Find a free NSDR script, put on some good quality headphones and follow the track. The good thing about these scripts is that unlike meditation, they don't require a whole lot of focus - and this is the point. Trying it out is simple, scroll to the top or head to YouTube/Google.
Non sleep deep rest is a behavioural tool that can be used in a range of different ways. Although the name suggests no-sleep - NSDR can be used to help fall asleep faster/get back to sleep. It can also be used to 'supplement' a bad nights sleep. Huberman uses NSDR the morning after a bad nights sleep. During the day, scripts can be used to increase focus and increase energy/motivation. Other forms of NSDR have a wider range of applications. All in all, NSDR doesn't need a specific application and can be used throughout the day.
Two papers in iterations of Cell Reports journal showed that a 20 minute NSDR protocol after an intense period of focused learning accelerates plasticity by 50%. This helps learn faster and the retention of new learnings is stronger. All in all, NSDR has been scientifically shown to accelerate learning.
A study out of Denmark, using brain imaging, showed that a 30 minute NSDR/Yoga Nidra script, increased dopamine resting levels in the brain area called the striatum by 65%. Putting people into a state where they're ready for action when they come out.
There's a few key times in the day you can do an NSDR script. Firstly, if you haven't had a good sleep the night before - maybe a couple hours less than usual, it's reported that an NSDR track first thing in the morning can improve the way you're feeling - even considering the rough night. Later on in the day, NSDR tracks have been shown to really help re-grain focus. NSDR tracks increase dopamine, and dopamine can help motivation/focus. Lastly, in the evening is a good time to practice non sleep deep rest. To relax before you head to bed for the evening, or if you're struggling to get off to sleep - or it's taking a while, you can put on an NSDR, do some breathwork and body scanning - and it may do the trick.
