Improving deep sleep

To improve deep sleep, Dr. Huberman recommends the following tips:

1. Practice non-sleep deep rest (NSDR) or yoga nidra during the day to self-direct relaxation, which can also be used if you wake up in the middle of the night 1.
2. Ensure your sleeping environment has low light and low temperature, as these conditions support deep sleep 2.
3. Consider a wind-down routine before bed like stretching or meditating and avoid activities like watching TV in bed 3.
