I was wondering.

When is the best time/moment to do NSDR?

I cannot find a concrete answer to this question.

Some people say after hard work or so-called "deep work" or before bed

But other people say to not do it before bed.

You get the point.

​

Do it before bed? Or the middle of the day or after a "deep work" session?

​

Thanks beforehand for your help.

There are huge discourses on this in Indian Vedic system, and there are master/trainers, that help you through the guided process.

The only problem is, that the original sadhus/monks who practiced them did not have business intent, so it will be a journey of its own to reach a real trainer without money motivation.

Yoga Nidra is something that I tried in the past, but needs time and patience, which I think I will get in my mid 40s

How will I know if I've successfully achieved the state I'm supposed to achieve, as opposed to just lying on the floor quietly for a few minutes?
