@sudarkoff I ran into Huberman's description of #NSDR a while ago. It describes a state I get into when my naps "fail", i.e. when I do not actually fall asleep but do get into a state of deep relaxation of body and mind, and the result feels the same as a power nap: restored focus, anxiety gone etc...

Had a chat earlyer today about Non-Sleep Deep Rest ( #NSDR ), how I understand it to work (it has to do with Default Mode Network or #DMN), and it's benefits to #adhd.

Sharing here, in case it helps somebody else to connect the dots. See the thread.
