Yoga Nidra can be listened to first thing in the morning, or later on in the evening, preferably on an empty stomach. Lie down in a room that is dimly lit; not too dark, not too bright, and an ideal temperature. Be free from interruptions to get the best from your Yoga Nidra. Remain awake, yet allowing your Yoga Nidra to prepare you mentally and physically for a wonderful, restful sleep.
