Study Summary
This study is being conducted in order to understand more about how the body responds to a mind/body practice called yoga nidra. Results from this study will be used to inform the design of future studies that investigate the effects of yoga nidra on sleep quality and insomnia. Yoga nidra is a simple guided meditation technique that involves lying still on a mattress while listening to a voice. Participants will follow simple instructions that involve becoming aware of their body and breath, as well as various memories, emotions, and images. This practice is not religious in nature. The investigators do not believe it will conflict with any religious beliefs. The goal of this practice is to help get rid of mental, physical and emotional tensions.
Primary Outcome
Average change in alpha power (from visit 1 to visit 2) will be compared for intervention and control groups. Other frequency bands (delta, beta, and theta) will be measured as well. EEG measurements will be collected from the F3, C3, and O1 locations on the scalp.
