Fall asleep faster with Yoga Nidra and NSDR: guided deep rest for racing thoughts, 3am wakeups, anxiety, and nights when sleep feels impossible.
Yoga Nidra is a guided rest and sleep meditation app for the moments when you want to slow down. Listen before bed, after a middle-of-the-night wake-up, or during a daytime pause. Choose a short reset or settle in for a longer practice, then follow a calm voice through breath awareness, body scans, and gentle attention.
You do not need to know how to meditate. Get comfortable lying down or sitting, press play, and follow the guidance at your own pace. You can use a session to prepare for sleep or take a quiet break while staying awake. There is no right way to feel at the end.

The library has more than 50 guided sessions, from about three to 42 minutes. Some practices are brief enough to fit between meetings; others give you time to settle without watching the clock. The app groups sessions by the kind of rest you are looking for, so you can browse by category or return to a favorite.
WHAT A SESSION IS LIKE
Yoga Nidra is a guided rest practice. A session may invite you to notice the breath, bring attention to different parts of the body, or rest with a simple intention. The words give you something gentle to follow; you do not have to control your breathing or clear your mind. If your attention wanders, you can simply return to the voice.
Some listeners use these practices at bedtime. Others use them as a non-sleep deep rest (NSDR) break during the day. You can listen with your eyes closed, let a session finish, or use the sleep timer when you want the audio to stop later. Choose what fits your day rather than trying to complete a perfect routine.
MAKE THE APP YOURS
• Save sessions to Favorites and find recently played practices again.
• Build playlists for a bedtime routine or a few short daytime resets.
• Download available sessions for offline listening when you travel or have an unreliable connection.
• Set a sleep timer from the player.
• See your completed sessions, listening time, and practice streak in Progress.
• Set a reminder to make space for rest.
• Add a Home Screen widget for a quick way back into the app.
