Unlocking Better Sleep and Enhanced Memory Through Yoga Nidra
A pilot study suggests that practicing yoga nidra, a form of mindfulness training, can improve sleep quality and cognitive performance, including learning and memory. Objective measures showed an increase in deep sleep and delta-waves after two weeks of yoga nidra practice. Participants also demonstrated faster and more accurate responses in cognitive tests. The findings support previous research linking delta-wave sleep to improved sleep quality, attention, and memory. Yoga nidra is a low-cost and accessible activity that may benefit many people.
