Yoga Nidra vs. Sleep?
Hi,
I wanted to know if it is possible to use Yoga Nidra as a sleep substitute? If it can be as effective as deep sleep to the point that you can live solely on Yoga Nidra without the need for traditional sleep?
Thanks!

Our bodies will always need sleep, no matter what, no exceptions.
Some people can go without sleep longer than others because of having excellent health, but no one can go indefinitely without it.
I know this because I went weeks without any sleep and about a year without any quality sleep, and it eventually landed me in the hospital with several very serious health problems.
Plus, what possible reason would anyone have for practicing said behavior?
As a rule of thumb for health and just about anything else in life, replacing natural habits with unnatural ones is a dead end with only temporary benefits at best and severe illnesses or death at the worst.
