Does 20 minutes of yoga nidra really equal hours of sleep?

That popular claim is overstated. Yoga nidra is deeply restful and can leave you feeling restored, but it does not replace the biological work your body does during real sleep. What the research more modestly suggests is that it can reduce tiredness, calm the nervous system, and support recovery, which is valuable in its own right. Think of it as excellent rest, not a substitute for a night in bed. StillMind offers yoga nidra as a genuine way to recharge, without overpromising.
