Episode notes
Sleep's Dual Function
- During sleep, our brains not only consolidate memories (learning) but also actively eliminate information (D-learning).
- D-learning prioritizes processing and clearing emotional experiences.
Yoga Nidra for Sleep Learning
- Practice yoga nidra to achieve a state of conscious awareness during deep relaxation, similar to lucid dreaming but with a quieter mind.
- This trance-like state allows you to direct your subconscious mind during sleep.
