> With yoga nidra, you stay awake

Huh I precisely use yoga nidra TO help me fall asleep.

It's so powerful as a sleep aid that I resurrected an old iPod to hold a single yoga nidra track and I keep it plugged into a speaker on my nightstand. Of the maybe 200+ listens in the past few years I've heard the end of of this 20min track less than 10 times!

Nice! And good point. It works for both sleep and non-sleep power "nap."

There are different scripts for sleep vs mid-day rest. The main difference seems to be whether or not you set the intention to stay awake or fall asleep at the start of it.

Interesting, I shall try this for rest as I hate naps - they leave me miserable.
