man,what should I say...
Your Channel deserve a lot more subscribers
It's growing, slowly but surely :)
finally a straight, to the point , short video ? is this even real ?
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.
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.
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.
ur voice is so calm and fascinaiting
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.
🙏
You’re amazing, thank you!! I’m a HUGE napped and devoted meditator. This now makes sense…
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!
You’re back!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
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 🌤💎🙏🏽
Always had power naps, brain functions so much more after!
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 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.
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...
Man this channel is awesome! Thank you for doing this!
Very cool, thanks Louis!
Thanks for posting these 👍🏼
may fav r the 8 hr powa napas
Your power nap videos are the best
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! :)
10Min works for me so far.Thank you
1:25 20 - 35 minute Theta nap at 2 pm (12 - 4 pm)
Dude you are awesome!!
Can I do it in the morning
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
Thank you sir❤️
So. I have this method to keep you up. I call it caffeine naps. When you’re super tired. Drink a ton of caffeine and immediately take a 15 min nap before the caffeine kicks in. When you wake up you’re amped for a long time. Probably not healthy but it’s extremely effective
Hmm, did you watch the first 30 seconds of the video?
I once read about that technique too. But I am not sure of the conflict vs the info presented in the video. The question is, not about deciding one or the other (nap or coffee) but, what results doing both?
Coffee makes me sleep even
Same here
Sameeeeee
for me.is the 3 hour power.nap
What about MULTIPLE power naps, Jodi? Like maybe two on a particular day when you think you need it? Better to just tough it out and take only one? What have you seen in the studies?
Great question. None of the studies said anything about taking multiple naps. If you feel the need and have the freedom, of course do it! (Just not after 4 PM.)
Ideally I get in the 20 minutes but am so practiced that the 10 hits when I’m tight on time
You've suddenly gotten an influx of viewers, did you recently make a whole bunch of videos public? Cause I've been searching the same category of 15 min power nap music for half a year and suddenly yours pops up but it's over two years old just 2 days back.
I've noticed a big jump in traffic to my website too, I'm really not sure what's up but I'm grateful :)
Interesting
6 minutes power nap... I can't even fall asleep in 6 minutes.
Sounds crazy to me too, but some people really like it!
@@bestbinauralbeats Yeah I do
I love the 6 min power nap, when I am feeling drained out and I don't have time to take a long nap, this really helps me.😁
Does this work if you don’t actually fall asleep?
Doubt it has the full benefits but prolly a bit
look up NSDR (non-sleep Deep Rest). there are assistive vids on youtube also 🤍
Which 🎧 are you using 🤔 👀 i have to buy one
Nothing beats it. Wish I could make it happen. It’s always random
the term Power nap needs its own context. if you eat too much, drink too much, unemployed, on drug, sick, and very old...what is power nap?
I always end up falling asleep around 4-5 pm and not waking even for an alarm until 5-6 am the next morning, how can i quit doing that?
Wow! Sounds like your body needs sleep!
Suggestions...
- get a good dose of bright light (ideally sunshine) in the early morning (at least 30 minutes worth)
- take a 20-minute nap between 12 and 2, but not later.
You could try blue light, since blue light is high in early morning to late afternoon/early evening sunlight your body uses it as an external time reference. Blue light can cause insomnia when viewed up to 3 hours from bedtime, usually from TV, computer, tablet, or cell phone use.
I put my keys in my hand and literally dropped them 3 seconds before the chime.. I feel better but I'll try 10 minutes next time
haha excellent!
for me works 1 whole day of power nap xD
I wonder if genetic night owls should power nap later in the day? Thanks
I sometimes happen to nap from 5pm to 7/8 or even 9 and 10 pm. I feel really heavy and groggy at the start, buy then I am able to accomplish things i could never deeper into the night. It's really marvelous
hey hey, what u think about pholyphasic sleep
I think it's cool! I have a series coming soon to discuss it.
@@bestbinauralbeats hey Jody, i got a problem with ur custom vídeos
I need to sleep about 50 minutes (on the library of my university) everyday, but i didnt find what I need. Its health to make a playlist with 30 minutes nap and 20minutes nap?
@@bestbinauralbeats u could make an app
I would buy and download it
What u think?
An app is in the works but it'll be a few months yet. 50 minutes is kind of a weird sleep length, you'd be woken up during slow-wave sleep and most likely end up feeling groggy for the rest of the day.
30 minute is enough for me
It's always good to know your own ideal nap length!
So. Ich komme um ca 16u von der Arbeit nach Hause und bin richtig münden aber ich musste nach 16ukein powernap mehr machen? Ich hoffe es wurde mir noch ein Abend mit Familie bringen☹️
Leider, mein Deutsch ist unter aller Sau...
Ein Nickerchen nach 16u kann Ihren Schlaf sabotieren.
@@bestbinauralbeats eher mein Deutsch sehe ich gerade🤭
HOW TO DEAL SLEEP INERTIA?
Take shorter naps :)
2 hours
To benefit from a binaural power nap, is it necessary to be groggy and NEEDING to sleep/nap?
Well... if you're having an energetic afternoon (or drank a lot of coffee in the morning) you may find it difficult to fall into a nap. But you could always turn off the lights, close your eyes and see what happens? :)
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!
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'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!
Me watching this at 3AM :
Your chi force 3 am
Instructions unclear, did a powernap during a 2pm meeting.
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.
Your gentle voice and pleasantly delivery of your speech helped for people to truly listen and investigate the benefit of binaural.
Thanks!
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!
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! :)
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!
Man, Thanks you so much for making these tracks in different timings!! They are really good and I really appreciate those! :)
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!
Dude I end up having a fucking 8 hour sleep
You must have needed it!
@@bestbinauralbeats I don't know man. During exam, I feel extra extra sleepy.
A very clever way to positively advertise your very good creations!
Bravo for both
My power naps are SO powerful....they continue for 2 hours....😋
Oops! :)
Same here 😅
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 !!!!
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!
I find 10-15 is excellent… I’m also known to take 5-6 depending on time.
attractive graphic design work !
Love the graphics!
What a great work, simple and clear thanks you for this information
Awesome video great explanation thanks bro
You're awesome.
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!
I can’t believe that just found a beautiful and authentic channel like this.
Thanks for you content ❤️
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!
I love my 20 minute power nap
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.
Your videos are awesome and well edited. Thank you 👍☺
My favourite seems te be 35min, although I tend to use them as cheats, during weekdays I tipically get 4h of sleep wake up to drive my girl to night shift and after arriving home and time being 4:30 am I can't fall asleep right away, so I use a calming music for 45min folowing your 35min binaurals. Seems to work. I used your 90min sleep cycle but the result was not as good. Either is not optimal though. Any advice?
Sounds like your sleep schedule should be conflicting pretty hard with your circadian rhythm! If you aren't able to do anything about the schedule, you'll need to start getting crafty with the use of bright lights and red goggles to simulate the sun rising and falling when you want it to.
Hmmm yes scedule is what it is unfortunatelly, I will look into the gogles
I've tried all your power nap video and learned that 10 or 15 min. works for me the most.
20 minutes nap, at 2 pm / after lunch.
Perfecto!
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!! :)
I have been using your videos for over a year, they are very helpful, thank you so much❤
Your voice is so so so good! Are you a professional VO artist too?
Love it! Direct, simple, clean, soft, great! Gracias
Will try. Thanks
Good video, well explained
You’re a rockstar Jody
Jodyyyyyy Thanking you bushel-fulls for your work. I am a Powernapper and commenter often. Super grateful
That sleepy cozy jazz...
Nice
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.
Great videos man!
For me a ~ 10 min Nap is the best. It makes me concentrated for ~ 2h again.
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!
8 hours nap 😩😩
Hey is back!!!
For me the best is 15 min power nap
Thnxx a lot fr this video
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 :)
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!
I like my power naps to be 2 hours long. Thats because I only get 4 hours sleep a night...
Why do you only get 4 hours?
@@kappa3750 I have insomnia and spinal injuries that hurt when I roll over, so in an 8 hour cycle, I will be woken up so many times that my sleep is like a light nap.~
I get 4 hours sleep if I take 2 sleeping tablets.
Sounds like polyphasic sleep might be the thing for you. Video series coming soon...
@@bestbinauralbeats yessss 🎉🎉🎉
