🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:02 🌙 *Importance of First Phase of Sleep for Growth Hormone Release*
- Growth hormone release occurs throughout the day, but the first deep slow wave sleep cycle provides a significant bolus of growth hormone.
- Missing the initial 90 minutes of sleep may result in a loss of this substantial growth hormone release.
- Protein synthesis, crucial for memory building, also happens during this phase.
02:27 🛌 *Consistent Bedtimes and Neurological Health*
- Consistent bedtimes, in addition to wake times, are vital for good neurological health, especially as we age.
- The body's circadian clocks play a crucial role in aligning with growth hormone release during sleep.
- Establishing a regular sleep schedule is actionable for optimizing growth hormone benefits.
03:28 🌱 *Sleep Duration in Adolescents and Importance for Development*
- Teenagers and adolescents may need more sleep due to the intensive growth and development occurring in their bodies and brains.
- Sleep is essential for organizing the brain and facilitating proper development.
- Consistent, sufficient sleep is crucial during developmental stages to avoid missing key windows.
04:25 🍷 *Inhibitors of Growth Hormone Release in First Stage of Sleep*
- Alcohol is a significant inhibitor of growth hormone release, especially during the first stage of sleep.
- Alcohol acts as a REM sleep suppressant, impacting the transition to REM and sleep spindles.
- Ingesting alcohol within four to six hours before sleep can negatively affect sleep quality.
05:54 🔄 *Unique Characteristics of Second and Third 90-Minute Sleep Blocks*
- The second and third 90-minute blocks of sleep involve more REM sleep, with changing hormone levels.
- Growth hormone and melatonin decline, while other hormones increase during later stages of sleep.
- Studies suggest that creativity peaks during these phases, influencing dream content and schema-building.

There are two types of consciousness: Soul based conciseness vs Animal based consciousness. consciousness by itself is an innate idea and for any conciseness to exist there must already be consciousness (Allah the most exalted) to begin with because physical matter(atoms) does not just “randomly” transform into thinking human. Long wire like neuronal networks in CNS/PNS that conduct electricity via ions/neurotransmitters have no attribute of life and yet these wire-like neurons that merely conduct electricity have given rise to an attribute(life) completely distinct from it. Thoughts are a distinct quality compared to mere carbon skeleton (How does the carbon skeleton acquire the process of thinking/existence when thoughts and carbon skeleton are distinct entities with atoms having no characteristic of life and yet atoms have miraculously gained life). Heart is a faculty of cognition that all major scriptures (especially Quran) talk about which houses the soul. if the faculty of heart is impaired human being is blind to realities of God therefore descends to the level of lower than animals. you have somebody like Adolf Hitler whose brain is very sharp (able to efficiently process empirical data and make associations between it) but his heart(soul) is impaired therefore cannot process any spiritual data which is based on mercy and love and is purely driven by ego-based consciousness rather than Heart(soul) based consciousness.
Is this ai ??

I’m so glad he asked that question about why we miss it. I had seen a reference to missing a phase of sleep in a different video and didn’t understand how that would be possible-I thought of it like you have to go thru stage 1 to get to stage 2. Super interesting that we skip phases to stay aligned with time
I really LIKE your questions Andrew. Amazing info.
had the same thought watching
Her smile is awesome . She is still young !
thanks for the informatiion
Can you talk about how
Food can affect growth hormone during sleep time ? For example some athletes they train at night for any reason , then they have to have sources of food ! And some believe eating before bed time is not good . So what are the suggestions?
what an amazing content
Thank you!
This does support the 2 cycle day that ancient greeks reference where they take 2 sleep schedules per day where the 1st one they wake up at night and the next one is where they wake up in the morning instead of just going the full sleeping the night away deal. Majority of people still exercise this, especially when it comes to children. Often making them sleep in the afternoon and sleeping again some time just before midnight.

How are we defining this body clock?
Let’s say I grow up and spent 30 years of my life in a one country. Then I moved to another country where the time zone is different. Now how my bodies clock change accordingly to this new time zone?
For past 30 years I may be sleeping at 22:00 GMT. But after moving to another country my 10 PM will be 06:00 GMT. Now how will my body adjust the clock?
Andrew, please do a podcast on exactly how many hours of sleep is optimal over a 7 day period. The literature is not clear as to whether 6 hours or 7.5 is best. Many people would like to know the advantages and disadvantages of the amount of hours and also possibly you could discuss sleep cycles.
this is what I want to hear as well. However here are some of my inputs on this:
1. the duration varies with age group
2. are you active or less active throughout the day
3. how consistent is your sleep regime?
4. I will normally just test it out myself. like a week with 6 hours of sleep at night without any naps throughout the day has been proven to be optimal for me. I am 27 male with fairly active life style. Hope this answers your question partially..
Actually 7.5 hours of sleep is suboptimal even though it is exactly the amount of time needed to complete the sleep cycle. 8-10 hours of sleep is shown to be the best amount of daily sleep you should aim to have or more precisely 8-10 hours of sleep opportunity/ time in bed
Can you clear my doubts regarding my sleep? When I sleep naturally( i.e. don't use alarms to wake up and have continous sleep without any interruptions) I can't sleep more than 7 hrs(7:15 max) .And I function optimally without any fatigue or other sleep related problems. But wherever I see the literature they always recommend at least 8 hrs of sleep. So can you tell if I am doing correctly or not?@@expkarma748
So, does the body uses sun light to synchronize its clock?
I don't understand why we can't capture the first stage of sleep by sleeping after midnight even if we are consistent with that
We still dont know enough about (the many) Circadian Rhythm in the human body, and least of all direct or accurate measurement; there are some solutions but they require lengthy and complicated enzyme and neural scans to measure/track ... we will leap forward in human health when we can combine this yet to be created technology with what we now know about human hormone cycles.
How does one know when is the best time to go to sleep for their clock genes? Can it be altered with routine? Or is it set at a cellular level and not a behavioural?
pretty sure its routinely, if you do it every single day your body will adapt to that schedule, the problem is inconsistency
Is having lucid dreams good or does it have a better affect on you if you do it
One question How can I know that my first stage of sleep starts at this particular time ?? Like how I know that it's time to sleep or not
So Dr Huberman, does the increase in prolactin during a Sauna session offset the increase in growth hormone?
More of this.
I've been applying this for like 2 years, and y health has changed a lot
What have you done?
RIP nightshift worker!
RIP tdjtomas family members.
Is only the consistency important or the time of going to bed as well? What's best time to go to bed, is 12 okay?
Would have been nice if you had provided a peer-reviewed reference for the big statement at 1:31
In that time period good night guyss
Okay how to know what's is ur first phase of sleep?
Is it really necessary for teenagers to sleep as much as they want to? If I was going to sleep as much as I wanted to I would sleep 12+ hours easily, I feel the same with 7h30m, 9h, 10h30m and so on.
What if I would go to sleep earlier then that first phase of sleep when most growth hormones get released?
How do you know your circadian rhythm? I assume it’s subjective.
As a shift worker (emergency doctor) I can just go and cry then
Yes but dont worry you'll catch up on growth hormone during retirement
@@tatewinters5565at that point it’s too late
Wish i knew this during my growing stage i am just 5 feet at 23 years

Hi Dr. Huberman, Thank you for this very important information. I would like to clarify my understanding on this topic for the sake of my childrens’ health.
We live in Asia and my children not only have a longer school day, but also more homework (compared to my own childhood growing up in Vancouver, Canada). My 12yr old used to sleep around 22:00 last school year, but since entering Gr.7, she has been sleeping around 23:00-24:00. I assume she is missing her first hour of sleep that is important for growth. My question is, what is the threshold for a new consistent sleep time to shift that first cycle of growth sleep, since technically 24:00 has become the norm since September for her.
My 2nd question is, since I still try to ensure she sleeps earlier, some nights we manage to sleep around 22:00, but with the importance of consistent sleep patterns, is my daughter better off to maintain a consistent 24:00 bedtime since that is most of the time, rather than having a fluctuating bedtime? I’m wondering if it’s better that she sleeps late and her 1st cycle of sleep is later so she doesn’t miss it?
I would appreciate any information you can provide. Thank you so much!
P.s. My 4th grader also has a fluctuating bedtime (though not as late as my 12yo) as I try to help manage his time to be able to finish homework earlier as often as possible. So my inquiry is for the both of them. ♥️
Wow, working on homework from end of school till midnight!?! That's got to be bad for a kid surely. When do they actually just relax and learn to be or play? 😢 Sorry the school is set up that way, good that you try to think about helping them sleep.
That's something you should ask your doctor.
So what about sleeping earlyer ?
Most people should go to sleep at 10 and wake up at 6.
And dont eat 3 hours before bed ideally.
So what time then??? She didnt specify.
So the body knows whats the best time to sleep? What time is that
So my newborn waking me up soon after I fall asleep is ruining my gains. Hopefully, I can get back to good sleep soon!
Its a Super Tuff time it wil wreck your T levels also
If i have been sleeping at 3am . Does the clock shift it's normal release phase to like 5 or 4 am or does it remain 10pm to 11pm?
Hloo
Can u talk about pitutary gland which helps for height growth
It cant be this simple. I'm constantly trying to improve my deep sleep and track it every day. I typically have deep sleep cycles in the beginning of a sleep session no matter when I go to bed. Whats more, the best deep sleep I've had all year was two consecutive nights going to be bed very late-around 4AM. I got about 4 hours of sleep, with deep cycles totaling about an hour each night. This is way more than usual, especially considering the total sleep duration. They were also nights I drank tequila and vaped hash (moderately). The only way I can make sense of it was the environment-I was camping, it was freezing, and there was no artificial light exposure at all. I didnt take any of my usual supplements either, only used mouth tape.
Did you track with your watch? I think it is inaccurate when it comes to hash and weed, tells you your sleep is good, but in reality its not.
@@skurkepinne8617 I did. And agree the device may be not so accurate in general. But it does work the same way consistently, so the fluctuations are dependable (same with HRV tracking). And cannabis use definitely has nothing to do with the fluctuations on those two nights. Especially since that would've been a constant. Since thinking about it more, I'm also considering fire gazing playing a part. Like I said, there was no artificial light, but a large fire to watch the entire weekend.
Can’t forget the mouth tape!
@@billr8829 average people think it’s crazy. But it’s easily one of the best, cheapest biohacks out there.
Mouth tape can literally kill you lmao
So my long afternoon naps are increasing my gains.

Long as you’re sleeping when it’s dark out and up when the suns out and getting 7 plus hours of good sleep, who the hell cares what time you go to bed or wake up. Doubt your body cares.

I guess that point of the part with teenagers was "if you need - you sleep" ,but when i sleep around 10h i feel like garbage and my day is usualy ruined because of that. What should i do?
just sleep 8 to 9 hours, its the best while growing up
So when should i go to sleep? I mean when will i get this hgh bolus?

Mostly it increases until 21

Huberman, please read and reply to this: Ive been training progressively for strength and hypertrophy following structured optimal diet, naturally without supplements, for 5 months and ive increased 10 lbs of bodyweight while maintainingsame body fat percentage and I’ve grown 1.5-2 inches in arms, chest, forearms, hip, thighs, and calves while maintaining the same waist measurement. Recently i noticed a protruded skin tag in the middle if my back and anither surging in my upper chest. Is this a product of the potential natural hgh increase that my body has been going through for 5 months?
Could be systemic fatigue, I.e. your immune system is going having trouble keeping up with the constant inflammation from hard training for 5 months. You should take a deload week if you haven’t already
@@jakeblackburn178 i have 0 symptoms that indicate that i need to take a break. My training structure prevents overtraining. The skin tag is unrelated to thst for sure. However, ive read that hgh increase can cause skin tags. This also happens to steroid users, which im not but can be related.
😂🤣😂🤣
@@deebee4575 what is so funny?
Arent skin tags associated with insulin resistance? Diabetics often get them...
If I understand well, growth hormone is needed for brain health, not just about being physically taller or growing muscles.
💯
So what about if you work swing shift and are awake at 10pm? I don't go to sleep until about 3am. But I do still get 7 to 8 hours of sleep. Do I still miss out on that bigger GH release?
What are you heght?
at what time we should sleep to get deep slow wave sleep and I am now 22 age old will mine height can be increased by increasing my growth hormone ?
You cannot increase your height at age 22, sorry.
There is no perfect time to go to sleep for anybody. Figure out your schedule the best time to get between seven and nine hours done before you need to wake up and stick with that schedule.
Like the other guy said you can’t increase your growth hormone after 22. However there are ways that you can still “increase” your height. The 2 most common methods are better posture and spine decompressions. Better posture is possible through exercises and having constant awareness of posture itself before it becomes natural, there are videos on RUclips with different methods to achieve better posture. As for spine decompressions, simply hanging a couple minutes a day will grant severe benefits to not just your spine but overall shoulder health/mobility, spine health, longevity, and more. Similar to the posture videos, there’s numerous videos that you can find online that have different hanging exercises and methods.
@@deebee4575Dont misguide
Height growth only depending 2 things let me tell you
In my case i lacking growth hormone in childhood still my growth plate open at age of current 23 age
So doctor recommend use synthetic growth hormone injection (Somatatrophin ) i have only $10000 only need 5000$ than i start
You really think you can increase your height with 22?😂
im 17 5,7 ft i may have stunted my growth due to a lot of stress and bad sleeps during my teenage years idk if my growth plates are still open is there still a chance for me to grow taller because since last year i havent grown maybe a cm but at this point idk
I know a lot of people and myself included who grows after 17 yo. So it's not too late, just try to do better with your sleep and diet(less sugar, more nutritional food) and do some stretches and would be even better if you add 3 times a week HIIT for like 10 minutes or so.
Can you still grow , even if you are 30s?
So I'm 18 I'm 5'4 65kg.
Is it too late for me to grow tall since HGH is important for that?
Nah bro do yoga for 3 weeks you will grow 3 inches it will improve your posture and lengthen your spine I grow 3 inches
And I’m 21
So that means sleeping and getting more deep hour sleep can still lead to growth in height
