finally a straight, to the point , short video ? is this even real ?
Me watching this video: "Hmm, interesting..." *sips coffee*
😂😂same
Sip coffee and take a 15 minute nap..... coffee starts to affect after 30 minutes so you'll get up energised.
LOL
😹
Drinking patented concoction of mint flavor hot cocoa, coffee, and vanilla milk as I watch this. Overkill, but I limit myself to less than 20 ounces.
apart from all the information in this video I am impressed by the sharp script. Not even a single word wasted and everything is sequenced perfectly
hehe, nice. Thanks!
Jody, I have become addicted to your 20 min power nap. I usually take one between 1:30 to 4:00 pm. Unbelievable results. Furthermore, some mornings, after waking, I still feel groggy and listen to the 15 min PN. Occasionally, I want to be more alert and aware after having 3 or 4 beers. The 20 min PN does miracles. Thanks for your dedicated work/postings.
Age 60.
I've used all of your various timed naps, and usually base the choice on how much time I have to reboot. 20-30 mins are my standard. I use them daily, and just settle in right away and escape!
And then, per your suggestion, I'm ready to take on the world again 😁
Love your work and thankyou ❤
hehe, excellent! Thanks for sharing, Wendi!
man,what should I say...
Your Channel deserve a lot more subscribers
It's growing, slowly but surely :)
I actually love listening to Jody’s voice- he sounds so happy and optimistic. I have only recently started taking power naps- call it the unexpected happy side effect of WFH. I really find it helpful. I usually do 1/2 hour.
The 20-minute power nap has become the perfect power nap for me. The 25 minute PN is also good but can result in some grogginess upon waking. The 6 minute is a good, quick, re-boot -but usually does carry the same effect as the 20. Thank YOU for posting these. I listen to your 20-minute nap every single day now -between 3 pm and 4:30 pm. Wow!
Awesome! Perfect! Thanks, Carl!
6 min is perfect for that sweet boost of energy. Feels like I just woke up from a deep sleep refreshed and energized. More focused… man it’s like a brain pill for performance. Going into the military so this technique will help a ton! Cheers! :)
I have been power napping for years after reading about it in a book called Quantum Fitness. It recommended a nap from 15 to 45 mins b/w noon and 3 pm only. I have found a 30 min nap to be best for me (I'm now a septuagenarian), and like Jody says, if you can get to that just dozed off moment, you are refreshed.
Awesome!
When I power nap, it's best for me to do it in an inclined position (on hard lounger that has a wavey shape seen from the side) and I set my mind to make a nap, not sleep... then I feel when it's the right time to get up... maybe now it's around 20 minutes...
Don't take your videos down, Jody, they're the only real deal without all the subliminals and music... thank you so much !!!!
35 mins works best for me.
I'm glad I found the magic (power?) of Binaural Beats. Hats off to you for creating all the tracks. I've tried almost all and I always wake up feeling recharged.
Your gentle voice and pleasantly delivery of your speech helped for people to truly listen and investigate the benefit of binaural.
Thanks!
I always RAVE about your 6 minute Power Nap track, it works wonders. But people are always in disbelief. I feel so grateful that I stumbled across your content!
Some countries/cultures maintain the afternoon break or "siesta" when they have their nap after lunch. Shops and most everything shuts down until 3 or 4, but then they stay open later into the night, like 9pm.
I've tried all your power nap video and learned that 10 or 15 min. works for me the most.
A very clever way to positively advertise your very good creations!
Bravo for both
I just tried 20 I was still awake after 8 min so I started my timer over. 30 min was perfect. We shall see how I sleep tonight to be sure. Before my nap I was so exhausted 😩 now I feel alert but not too alert!
12 hrs power nap🙂
ha! That'll do it 😆
Kind of the same problem I sleep from 1am to 1pm mostly and I have messed up my sleep schedule. It's a pain and I don't know how to fix it.
Push through it and through the exhaustion; force yourself to sleep in short cycles (like 30 minutes),if consistent, your brain will eventually fall into a routine of short cycles in which you will fall asleep within a minute and always have some REM , so your brain will start getting recovery benefits even from these short naps. But you gotta FORCE yourself to GET UP; no snoozing or you will just end up with your circadian rhythms even more fucked than now.
I find 10-15 is excellent… I’m also known to take 5-6 depending on time.
Man, Thanks you so much for making these tracks in different timings!! They are really good and I really appreciate those! :)
I don't nap all the time, but more than most people. My job is demanding of attention to detail and deadlines. I cannot afford mistakes, so some days I will take a 15 mins nap and feel AMAZING. Btw I don't ever nap like this without your 15 min binaural video. It helps me get into the state and accomplish what I need. Without it sometimes the 15 minute nap turns into much longer. Some days I just haven't gotten enough sleep because of my toddler, and those are the days when I can go 20 to 30 minutes. Either way I don't want to waste too much time napping, sometimes I don't even have that kind of time with my toddler around. Your videos are the best!
Love your videos. They're short when they need to be. I like the fact the to print to research. It inspires confidence.
I try! Short videos are almost the hardest kind to make!
I can’t believe that just found a beautiful and authentic channel like this.
Thanks for you content ❤️
Instructions unclear, did a powernap during a 2pm meeting.
I vote 20 for me. Very cool to have all the extra options too. 6 better than 0, and 35 when a 90 wont fit. Thank you.
🙏
I love 20-minute power napping because I'm a really vivid dreamer, so once I dip into that brief Theta state I have these little "dreams" that come between sleeping and waking.
Me too!! :)
You’re amazing, thank you!! I’m a HUGE napped and devoted meditator. This now makes sense…
ur voice is so calm and fascinaiting
That sleepy cozy jazz...
Nice
You’re back!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Me watching this at 3AM :
Your chi force 3 am
Love it! Direct, simple, clean, soft, great! Gracias
Jodyyyyyy Thanking you bushel-fulls for your work. I am a Powernapper and commenter often. Super grateful
I love my 20 minute power nap
What a great work, simple and clear thanks you for this information
Great videos man!
For me a ~ 10 min Nap is the best. It makes me concentrated for ~ 2h again.
Your videos are awesome and well edited. Thank you 👍☺
Good explanation. Love the calm guitar in it to calmly hear you out.
Thanks for posting these 👍🏼
Love the graphics!
Your power nap videos are the best
Thank you for uploading this video! Much appreciated...
There is enough going on in my life with sleep care--and it is important to me to listen to my body . My body says , every day,....nap. And the research is right on in that the greatest need is somewhere around 2. I am ready to go prone and zonk out while watching a half hour TV show. Its always the commercial at the end that wakes me..as they are always louder than the program. After that ..I am up ..finishing chores...cooking and getting things prepared for the next day. Now I will skip the television and make a conscious effort (if I am at home.).to plug in my headset and listen to your Power Nap video on my Iphone. Another step closer to having full control on my sleep needs and healthier lifestyle! I'll ket you know where I land...If 20 works...cool. If I need more I will shoot for 30. Thanks again!
Awesome :)
Awesome video great explanation thanks bro
10Min works for me so far.Thank you
Dude you are awesome!!
attractive graphic design work !
After years of power napping there is something powerful about 21 minute naps. That is my sweet spot
Man this channel is awesome! Thank you for doing this!
Very cool, thanks Louis!
Awesome, thank you 💫 works everytime
Will try. Thanks
25 minutes works well for me. I bought your sleep package a while back and usually use one of the nap ones daily. I also like the delta tracks at night. Keep up the great work! I am looking forward to the polyphasic material too.
Awesome, thanks for your support! :)
I like the 30-minute one. I wake up with no grogginess at all! Thank you this tutorial!! 🤓
Good video, well explained
I have mild to moderate narcolepsy, no cataplexy. I sometimes hear the beginning of a sentence, fall asleep in the middle, and wake up in time to hear the end. I like to wake up early in the morning and stay up late at night--just not so late that I require a 90-minute nap the next afternoon. So I like two naps a day--one around 3 or 4 hours after I wake up in the morning, and another after 2 pm--if I can hold out till 3 or 4, that's even better. Your tapes are great because they don't distract me with music I would listen too, or some mood thing like rain, and because the frequencies are fairly low, more like a cat's purr than artsy stuff (which has its own place, just not here). Without music to think about or noise to be annoyed about, I can just watch the movie, which usually turns into a dream. The length of the one I choose depends. Which tones I prefer depends. I'm amassing a collection whose effects I can sort of predict. The 20-30 minute ones are good for when I had forgotten to take my ritalin and, having taken it, need to nap until it kicks in.
Cool, thank you for sharing!
Today’s trip was weird. I use this video a lot, but today I was dreaming almost immediately and then I had a moment when woke, completely disoriented (disorientated?). Ten seconds later, I was asleep again, and then 10 seconds after that the video ended. I can only describe it as a wild trip. However it sounds, I loved every minute of it, as usual. 😊
hehe! Yeah, sometimes naps are like that. It truly just takes one little moment of "brain off" to feel rebooted. Cheers!
Your voice is so so so good! Are you a professional VO artist too?
My power naps are SO powerful....they continue for 2 hours....😋
Oops! :)
Same here 😅
Nicely done 😴
28 minutes was IDEAL when my lunch break used to be 30 minutes. I used to sit down, close my eyes, and fall into a dream state right away.
...i was probably over-worked...
Today I had the 35-minute power nap between 2:20 and 2:55, and I did notice a few minutes of grogginess upon waking up. Last time I took the 20-minute nap around the same time, and as you describe, I didn't feel any grogginess upon waking up but I also felt it was too short. So I'm gonna try the 30- and 25-minute ones next and see if I can figure out which one's best for me! I think this stuff is fun.
haha awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience!
Thnxx a lot fr this video
Thank you for the useful info and video. Great to see you back Jody, I hope you've been well.
Member of the Tribe you have not even watched it
@@bobbobesen3863 go take a power nap Bob, I watched the whole thing.
haha! Awesome, thanks man! :D
@@bestbinauralbeats no thank you, your binaural beats have been more effective than melatonin.
Well done Jody! Great explanation.
Thanks David!
Hey is back!!!
I think 30- 35 minutes works best for me.
I have used the " sleep how you want " for 1.5 hrs once in a while .
Ten to fifteen minutes is enough. And watching UA-cam is the trigger to powernap.
Always had power naps, brain functions so much more after!
I get benefits from all but the 20 min is my go to if I have the time to take; the 10 min one is my 2nd and 6 min never fails to jolt me and keep elevated for the next few hours
The 20 min keeps me more even for longer, where the shorter ones are like little shots of energy!
You’re a rockstar Jody
I want to thank you in the comments for your vids which really are a help to many❤🌷🌼much love and respect
Awesome, thanks Mosi!
45 min to 1 hour. I am groggy for a moment. Less than that I am still focusing on sleeping hours later. I love my 2 hour naps.
Well, if you can still get to sleep at night, good stuff!
I think I'm gonna try the 20 minute one because I will still have a bit of time to join the next lesson.
(I thought about this before you said in you video that 20 minutes work best for you. What a coincidence.)
It all depends on energy output and what time one wakes... Plus if you want to be enlightened then Sol food is a bright idea 🌤💎🙏🏽
it depends on how tired I am and what part of the day. I sort of feel the amount of time I need. Due to my personal circumstances, it's 30 minutes at the moment.
I can use headphones when I'm reading but how use if watching online training? Play beats in background at lower volume and watch/listen to training?
Thank you sir❤️
Your 35 minute one works wonders for me.
For me the best is 15 min power nap
Thank you so much for you explanatory videos. They are very helpful to understand the science of sleeping. One more question: What program do you use to create those wonderful videos? I would really appreciate the info
Hey, Facundo! I create all my videos (and binaural beats) with Adobe After Effects.
@@bestbinauralbeats that's great to know. Thank you very much again for your videos. I enjoy then so much that now my girlfriend is using them to sleep 👏
Excellent! :)
Finally a well made video about this topic!
I actually kinda love this😂
20 minutes nap, at 2 pm / after lunch.
Perfecto!
Can I do it in the morning
I might have to use delta to nap, theta just give me nice dreamy thoughts / images & puts me into a comfortable but drowsy state. Or maybe just deeper theta.
Neat awareness! I'll add "deeper nap" to my queue. 😎
Hi, first of all great work 👍
Can you please do a video on the difference between binaural sounds and Solfeggio sounds. Also, what are isochronic sounds?
And yes, thank you for all your efforts. You could've kept it for yourself, but you didn't. You chose to share. Thank you! I greatly appreciate your thought process.
Thank you! I certainly plan to make that video -- it's currently #17 in my queue! ;)
I nap most days and strangely enough I wake up refreshed without an alarm most of the time after exactly 17min. Which is why I wish you had a 17min one. Right now I just fast forward the 20min by 3min and start there. Not sure that’s recommended though.
hehe, nice! That's a very specific number. I think it'd drive people crazy if I had 30 power nap tracks though (every minute from 6 to 35 minutes)... 😅
Play the 20min power nap at 1.25 speed? Turns out to be 16 mins but, I'm not sure if it works the same as the "wobble" is sped up.
If I feel very sleepy it's easy to use the timer in the mobile so I don't over sleep. So I usually set the timer on 15-20min.
I get a serious 3pm dip and when at work it can actually be really horrible. I'm trying to think about ways to circumvent it as it obliterates my concentration! This is very interesting. Stay connected interesting channel.
Well, it's your body's natural rhythm! I don't know what kind of job you have, but if there's any way you could negotiate a 15-minute break at 3 PM with your boss to take even a 10-minute nap, it'd do wonders.
Is there a way to customize power naps for my comfort?
I find those days I have a nap for 2-4 hours, I end up also sleeping 10-12 hours that night.
Which 🎧 are you using 🤔 👀 i have to buy one
1:25 20 - 35 minute Theta nap at 2 pm (12 - 4 pm)
Hi Jody. Just discovered your channel. Excellent condensed information! Great videos!! Thank you!! My question: for the power naps, study/work (and other activities) with binaural beats we need to wear headphones otherwise they won't work?
Correct! If you listen with speakers, you get an acoustic (or monaural) beat. Headphones are required for the binaural effect.
@@bestbinauralbeats what about earphones
may fav r the 8 hr powa napas
Weirdly I sleep for 1 hr as a nap
And I am totally revived I don't feel groggy but of I sleep less that or morr I feel dizzy
10 min nap works best 👍👍
Atleast for me!!
Ideally I get in the 20 minutes but am so practiced that the 10 hits when I’m tight on time
How important is to wear the correct side of the earphones? I mean R and L. Thanks for your videos! I bought some audios from Morry Zelcovich but I lost them. Yours are awesome!!
Switching R and L doesn't really matter, the effect is the same.
@@bestbinauralbeats Thank you!
