E.010 Saving Lives to Changing Lives | Why Firefighters Need Rest Too
Unlock the power of deep rest and mental resilience in this heartfelt conversation with Ayla Nova and special guest Robert Nebergall, a first responder who opens up about the unseen toll of firefighting and the essential role of sleep and nervous system regulation in staying grounded on and off the job.
In this video, we explore how Yoga Nidra, mental fitness, physical fitness, and nutritional awareness can support firefighters in building lasting mental fitness—even in the face of constant adrenaline, high alert, and emotional intensity.
🔥 What You'll Learn in This Episode • Why sleep deprivation is a silent threat in the firefighting world. • How rest-based practices like Yoga Nidra restore the nervous system. • The difference between mental toughness vs. true mental fitness. • Tools for managing chronic stress and promoting long-term recovery. • How communities can better support the ones who serve them.
