You talked about deep rest for 20 minutes as an effective method after intense learning. After how much learning time should I implement these 20 minute rests for optimal results?
I have suffered from sleep paralysis for more than 20 years. I sort of understand how people get it, but not about the dreams that I have, which many people from around the world also have which are exactly the same. The entity at the bottom of the bed, the footsteps outside my bedroom and the figure outside my house, which I have no idea if I get up and look out my window or if it is part of the dream. Do you know anything about this? Sorry if you have spoke about sleep paralysis, I have just noticed you have started a podcast and haven't watched them yet.
I can count the people with real solutions to today’s problems on one hand. This man is physically making the world a better place on a potentially colossal scale. Thank you.
How would that help the corporations create OBEDIENT WORKERS lol George Carlin would love it, thinking for ourselves and putting our wellbeing first? lol
@@andrewconnor4429 Honestly I believe knowing this stuff would make you a more skilled and motivated worker in the long run if anything. The main problem of schools is that they are built upon an outdated model.
@@GarettChamberlin Well yeah and that was a good model when we only needed a few highy educated people on society. Nowadays we mostly need highly educated people so the education system should help people reach their true potential.

This rephrased some things and misses some key distinctions and key info like how the placement of light at night has key effect etc. Most common flaw of ai is that it is programmed to be lazy and vague (energy saving while appearing to be good) and fdificukt to get it not miss things.
This podcast was life-changing for me, and I mean it. I have been struggling to fix my sleep cycle for years now and I never understood why it was so difficult for me. I tried so hard to sleep and wake up early but I could never be consistent with it. I never felt well rested when I work up early and always thought that maybe I am just a night owl. After listening to this podcast I realized I had incorporated several bad habits into my life like not getting sunlight when I wake up and exposing myself to bright screens and working late in the night, because I would start my day late and inevitably end up staying up late. I do not have many windows in my room and my curtains are always closed which now makes so much sense why I never felt fully awake. I read countless blogs and watched YT videos hoping I'd find a way to fix this bad habit because I could sense that this was starting to affect my lifestyle, work, and even relationships because I'd never wake up on time and make it any place on time in the mornings. I struggled with this for years, and when you explained this, I could connect all the dots and it made me tear up Mr. Andrew, I am so so thankful to you for sharing this. I never comment on YT videos but this right here was life-changing for me and I wanted to let you know that you are a blessing in disguise for people like me. Very grateful! When you said 'it's difficult to change your mind with your mind', it hit me so hard. I had been trying to force myself to change just mentally intending to do it but didn't know how to go about it. But with your advice, I will begin to make positive changes, and live a happy, conscious, and healthy life. Please continue to share your knowledge! Thank you so much! ❤️
So true.. Funny thing about me is that my sleeping and schedule is a disaster and my body's preference (or rather my subconcious) while sleeping is to keep curtains open before sleeping for the morning sunlight but the living situations I've been in (friends, family) never really allowed that to happen. My body has been trying to fix me forever and my mind wouldn't know. Our bodies are incredible works of art and privileged are those who study how our bodies work. Thank you from an engineer.
it's unbelievable that this material is not taught in education. the dissemination of the satanic neo-liberal ideology into Western society should be prosecuted for driving thousands of individuals to suicide, and significantly decreasing the quality of life for thousands. its pathetic what reagan and Thatcher have done to society. thank god for guys like huberman for balancing the scale.
This was such a great, informative episode. I took lots of notes to help incorporate this new info into my life to build a healthier lifestyle. Sharing my notes here, hope they are helpful :) Sleep resets the ability to be focused, alert and emotionally stable in the wakeful period. There are 2 forces that determines sleep. Chemical forces which are adenosine, cortisol, epinephrine and adrenaline and Melatonin. And the Circadian Force which is the clock that exists in our brains that determines when we want to be sleepy or awake. Light exposure is the key driving force to setting our circadian rhythm & driving the right chemical/hormonal forces at the right times of day. Best Waking Practices 1. Get outside upon waking (ideally within 1-2 hours of sunrise) and get light exposure to the eyes & body. (Don’t look at light if it hurts your eyes). Early in the day, your retina is not sensitive which will need a lot of photons coming from sunlight to set clock mechanisms. 2. Sunrise light intensity & color temperature (from sun being low in the sky) is ideal to set our circadian and hormonal rhythm. 3. Getting outside is ideal because the intensity of outdoor light is so much greater than indoor or screen light. (Outdoors Sunny day: 100,000 lux, Outdoors Cloudy Day: 10,000-50,000 lux and Inside Bright lights: 500 - 1,000 lux) 4. Time needed in outdoor morning light to set our body clock (Outside Sunny Day: 30-60 seconds and Outside Cloudy Day: ~5 minutes) 5. Important to be outside, viewing sunlight through a window will take 50x as long for your brain to get the necessary light information. 6. We want blue light during day, don’t wear blue light blocking glasses during the day.
Best Evening Practices 1. Get outside to see the sunset. Sun is at low solar angle and close to the horizon, drives melanopsin which signals the circadian clock that it’s the end of the day 2. Use night mode screen on your device screens (my note: F.lux program for computer) 3. Dim lights, using warmer color temperature. (my note: Philips hue) 4. Candles / Fireplace wont causing wakefulness signals (Don’t burn down house) 5. The cells in our eyes that signals the central clock resides mostly in the bottom half of our retina which means it’s viewing our upper visual field. To avoid improper activation of neurons, place light low in your physical environment, on desktops or floor. 6. It is absolutely crucial to avoid light exposure between 11pm and 4am. It will disrupt many important physiological processes that help us rest and repair. Provide consistent powerful light anchors during the day and avoiding light at night, you get a tremendous number of positive effects on your wellbeing. Control your sleep environment 1. Get the right light exposure at the right times 2. Have dim, low lights at night 3. Get the proper sleep surface & pillow for spine alignment (my note: organic natural material) 4. Set the right sleep temperature (my note: ~65F (18.3 degrees Celsius) ) 5. Set your exercise timing to a regular period throughout the week, ideally in the morning. Non-Sleep Deep Rest are practices that activate cells in your body that promotes the parasympathetic or calming system. 1. Yoga Nidra/Yoga Sleep (Dr. Huberman's favorite) 2. Meditation 3. Hypnosis Recommended Sleep Drugs & Supplements 1. Magnesium - Huberman takes 300-400 mg, 30 mins before sleep (Consult doctor about appropriate dosing for you.) 2. Theanine - Take 100-200mg of theanine 30-60 minutes before bed 3. Apigenin (Can lower estrogen, women use caution) - Taking 50mg of apigenin can support the creation of sleepiness and you help fall asleep faster.
I don't know how to express with words how amazing it is to have private tuition from such a guy and from your own home. I heard you talking about a teacher you had who used to smoke in the lab but had this spirit to make you want to learn. I believe you're that guy for many of us, thank you.
Yes! 👏 Andrew Huberman is unique and inspirational! This reminds me of an info graphic that I made for my 𝐸𝓼𝓼𝓮𝓵𝓽𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷 Facebook Group. The title is “Who Knows What About Medical Data”. And, in keeping with that type of evaluation = Andrew would be considered a genius + worthy of following.
I started to listen and learn only from people that really deserve my time and are actually specialists in their field. You are the one of the them. Thank you Andrew 🍀
@@michelezanirato8281 Matthew Walker, Rhonda Patrick, Brian Greene. Brian Greene especially. He takes complex ideas and surmises in a way that doesn't make you feel stupid haha.
Officially will be putting time in my schedule to watch these as soon as they come out. Wish I was 20 years younger I would go back to school to study neuroscience...so fascinating. Thanks for having a mission to help educate people.
Why don't you? Both my parents went to college in their late 50's. Or you could do your research/learning by accessing the information on the internet. That's what I do when I find a subject that draws me in. I also take classes at our local college. I am in my 70th decade.
@@roxannaweaver2155 Whoah, with a trick to live for 700 years, you might be able to start your own podcast 😉 But seriously good for you to keep learning, your family's story is inspiring!
@@withnail-and-i 70th decade, not century! 😃😃😃😃 So I am in my 70's. I plan to live until I'm 151. Ice cream and cake first then go to sleep for the last time and off to a new adventure! Lots left to do yet.
I'm impressed by your impeccable diction and would love to learn how you learned the craft of public speaking, since you excel at sharing complex ideas with clarity, while not compromising the content. And your speaking skills allow you to be understood by those who don't speak English as a first language, since the pronunciation is clear. Maybe something for a random video, but it's an important skill for any scientist.
Would definitely love to see such a video too. Being a non-native speaker, I often have trouble understanding English speech and even much more when trying to say something myself. But Andrew Huberman's pronunciation is perfectly clear, and his skills in delivering information are impressive. I would be glad to get some tips or recommendations from him on better diction and public speaking in general.
Thank you so much Mr. Huberman. I was born into poverty and I’m afraid of going into crippling debt so I avoid schools/universities. I’ve always been interested in science and biology but I never had a solid way of acquiring new information. Tuning into your podcast has become the first and the last thing I do on a regular basis and I frequently replay a lot of different episodes. The science behind addiction and depression spoke to me a lot and made me feel hopeful. I even began summarizing each episode into notes for myself and younger brothers who I know are also intrigued by your topics. Thank you again for giving me something to look forward to and the tools to improve my wellbeing. Once I can afford it I’ll be more than happy supporting you on patreon or simply checking out some of your sponsors because I am truly grateful for your existence.
What a lovely comment! If Dr. Huberman reads comments, I’m sure he would find yours very gratifying. As a teacher, I am impressed. You are the kind of student we all want. I don’t know where in the world you are, but you may find ways to have college paid for if you really want to go. Best wishes!
As a result of discovering I have one copy of the APOE4 gene I bought an Apple Watch to track my sleep- I was horrified by the VERY low results of my stage 4 sleep. After watching this podcast and applying most of the tools (including the suggested supplements) I am SO pleased to report that my average time spent in Stage 4 has increased over the past four months from an initial low of 3% to a more steady and acceptable 10%. I’m certain (given my age) this will set me up for another few years of more optimal cognitive function at least. Thank you so much Dr. Huberman for your time and knowledge!!
I want to testify that Dr. Andrew's podcast made me finally understand what happened to me. A year and a half ago I moved to another apartment and, a few days later, without having done anything special, I found myself waking up and sleeping earlier. Until then, I thought I was an owl: I slept late and woke up late. I only woke up early in extreme need and it was terrible. It turns out that now everything makes sense: in the new apartment, I see the morning sun and sunset every day. I could never imagine that the sun changed my life!
He is your LORD, Who designed Human & your Lord Blessed you with the earth the sun & the moon & And He Taught Human Being with Qolam. & Your Lord Loves Human Being So Your Lord Sent Down His Own Recitation for us so that we might understand how our Lord Created us & why He Gifted us the sun & the moon.
I am a 17 year old, so currently I have to start my day with online classes(laptop). After watching this podcast I started keeping my laptop on the window pane while attending the classes for sunlight.
Congratulations on applying the knowledge you gained! but you still need to get out for at least 1-2mins for natural light :) after sunrise and before sunset. Being a mom of a 17-year-old teenager I can say that most teenagers are in depressive mode since they don't get enough sleep, they go to bed late get up late and with covid, they don't even get out of the house!
The funny thing happened to me that I actually fell asleep only after listening 20 minutes 😂😂.Had a good sleep though 😅😅. I am continuing this podcast after waking up from a good sleep.Thanks Huberman for that .His voice is so soothing ❤
I would say "binge-learning" is edutainment. You entertain yourself by giving yourself the impression that you are being educated, but you are not if you don't retain most of the information. Consolidation over quantity!
@@zeldamage001 yea lol binge learning is worst than wasting time, it just builds up our ego. When i watch podcasts or learn stuff im sitting with book or laptop to take constant notes and then will condense it to as little as possible.
You are an amazing teacher....very thorough, very easy to understand, and I love your humility. If people aren't hearing you it's because they're not listening. It's so obvious that teaching is your profession and that you are not here to self promote but to educate. OBVIOUS!!
1. Is there a difference between tiredness and sleepiness? Sometimes I feel very very tired, but not sleepy at all. 2. I hope you'll cover waking up during the night. Usually, I wake up after one and a half hour, and can't sleep straight all night. I wake up about 3 times a night, and last sleep interval is always the longer. Thank you very much for what you are doing. God bless you!
@@timom9833 yes, good answer! I believe you are right, although in my case it wouldn't be low sugar. I would like to know what other causes exist for tiredness.
For 2, I think it’s not a problem if you are waking up naturally at the end of a cycle. I find that the same thing happens to me around 3-4 hours into sleep, and I usually fall asleep again quite easily. I also have an app that tracks my sleep phases and I find that I’m always waking up in a phase of light sleep.
@@Jacob-ib4zx thank for your answer. I feel my sleep is good, and i wake up in the morning, rested, repaired, and energetic. I was worried because all the talking about importance of sleep, quality of sleep, etc, by experts, makes you feel that if you don't sleep according their ideal model, you are doing it wrong, damaging your health, and will premature die.
So true about the night owls. I´ve struggled getting up early and going to bed early for almost my entire life. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn´t force myself into a more typical schedule. 3 am to 11 am or so would be my preferred sleep schedule. I had given up hope of ever being able to consistently get up early and feel refreshed throughout the day. Until I started getting that morning light. A week in and there´s no going back for me. It really is night and day difference for me, no pun intended.
Now that I've been waking up early, another unexpected problem started to happen. There's this time in the afternoon my body asks for a nap around 2 or 3PM, okay no big deal. The problem is: my "naps" end up being 5 or 6 hours. Is there a way for me to limit nap time somehow? That's when my entire sleep schedule goes to the trash bin and the cycle starts from zero
And this has been happening for years now, I was never able to sleep at night as well as my afternoon sleep. It's the perfect sleep but it happens at the worst possible hour of the day.
You’re one of the first people, even in the neurosciences I’ve heard that has confidently assert the role of sleep and sleep cycles in behavior. 25 years ago, I was writing papers on this exact subject as a neuropsych undergrad but had to read through experimental papers in the literature. I’ve always been blown away that over the last 25 years this discussion has never made it to the general social consciousness. Bravo! The one has come

I noticed some absolutely amazing changes after listening to this program. I just woke up at 5:30 a.m. after 6 hours of sleep last night and 1 1/2 hour before my alarm goes off. I feel rested and alert. This happens very rarely for me (once a year at best). I am a 60 y/o single male and I have had sleep trouble my whole life. My circadian rhythm seemed to be out of sync and irratic all the time. I am very excited to repeat this video to see if I can repeat or improve upon last night.
I just went on here because I’m really trying to find motivation and change my life and you uploaded this 22 seconds ago when I happened to open RUclips up. I needed this. Thank you man, I’m a former street skater too (enough said) and your story and information is invaluable to me. Thank you, I’ll be stickin around.
Dr. Huberman's personal story is really inspiring (let alone the amazing science he has publically educated us on for the last few years). Wish you the best Nick!
I had a terrible sleep. I stay up late, woke up early, sleep time hardly exceeded 5 hours, I had an anxiety disorder and a depression. Until I get a couple of budgerigars. They are very demanding for a regular schedule. And thanks to these two lovely birds I started to get up in the same time every day, and tend to get to bed pretty much consistently in the same time. A year after - no anxiety attacks since then, and depression fall back to the mild cyclothymia.
I'm so extremely grateful for you making this podcast. I think I've watched and rewatched every single interview with you on RUclips and been waiting for your book so much! What a gift to see you doing this long format on RUclips. Thank you so much for your work, Andrew!
Hi, Andrew. I just wanted to express my condolences for your loss of Costelo. He sounded like an awesome dog. Thanks for everything you're doing with this podcast!
We really live in a fascinating time. Not only do we as humans possess such deep understanding of suvh niche subjects, but we are also able to condense it so well into a such an approachable format. It took lifetimes to understand every minute of information shared in this podcast.
I have always struggled with my sleep, usually wanting to sleep around 3-4AM and thought that's was how my body was wired. After taking your advice to manipulate the lighting in my environment to mimic the natural day cycle, I was able to fix my sleeping pattern. The best part is that IT FELT NATURAL.
Dr. Andrew I want to thank you from the city of Cyrene in Libya, you're changing my perceptions, which means you're changing my life. Your impact is worldwide.
@@jeriesnasr well I'd like to hear it from Dr. Huberman at least. And probably I'd try to learn it anyways. You don't need speed reading as much as you need speed writing, because in all your anger and dumbness you can't even spell fuck properly
I am a middle-aged guy who was always a sound sleeper, until a few years ago when I suffered occasional difficulty in falling asleep or going back to sleep after waking in the middle of the night. My lifestyle hadn't really changed and I was healthy and feeling good, just struggling with sleep more often than I could accept. So I started the morning sunlight routine several weeks ago. My sleep has improved dramatically. Thank you, Dr. Haberman!
This literally saved my life. Never slept well since I remembered. Now I don't need to be afraid when I get on the bed and thinking how can I fall asleep faster and longer. Thank you Dr. Huberman for releasing such valuable information!
I have suffered with sleep like my father before me since I was twelve. I now sleep .... thank you. I am glad I never stopped looking for answers because you had them. I do the supplements and the light and it has been life changing.
This is life-changing information. I simply cannot thank you enough for making this podcast. I’ve been struggling with sleep my whole life and nothing has ever helped. I’m so used to the typical, INFURIATING advice of “Just go to sleep earlier!”
Could you please talk about the importance of breathing properly when we're sleeping? And how we can improve our breathing. I personally have trouble breathing through my nose when I sleep. This is definitely my new favorite podcast, thank you Andrew.
I have been taping my mouth before sleeping for some time now and it works wonders, just a little piece of tape will do. You might also be interested in Mewing, or tongue posture, if done properly it keeps your mouth closed at all times and with practice it becomes instinctive.
I find this to be very useful and Andrew really helped me realize the importance of releasing dopamine BEFORE you reach your end goal , while working TOWARDS a goal . But the KEY is you need solid evidence that you’re on the right path to reaching your goal . At this stage , the more dopamine you release the easier it will be to keep grinding in the face of any adversity that will come in your way while trying to reach your goal ..
I've just found this channel recently and I've went back to podcast 1 and working my way through. Absolutely fascinated so far and grateful to Andrew for all the content he is putting out. 🙏
Thank you so much Andrew, I appreciate and love all your posts, you have the most amazing voice and could listen to you(and do) for hours, such an awesome subject on sleep,. my question is I do all the things but take anti deppression just changed, but been taking Rivatrol for 7 years and am totally addicted, have tried to take one but doesn't help me, need 2,take mag theronate
When you have struggled for more than a decade to have energy, and you realise that just being exposed to sunlight at the right time is a big part of the solution🤯
Science, specifially biology, should be taught in a way that relates to self-development, where possible. Makes the subject at hand 100x more interesting, 'cause most people strive for better.
Not only science or biology. Practically every knowledge when viewed through the lense of application to one's life and self-development makes it way more engaging and interesting. (talk about a dopamine release!)
As far as I agree with most of that statement, the last part isn't necessarily true. Most people look mostly for easy ways out and entertainment, not self-development.
I am so hooked. these teachings are everything . I am trying not to binge watch so I can comprehend. watched Episode 1 again and took notes as it sets the foundation. Thank you for putting these out. Please show Costello!
There are videos here on youtube that you desperately want to like multiple times because of the quality of the content and the method of delivery. This is one of those videos.
35:10 Please repeat as much as you want, I'm really loving the extreme amount of detail you give, wish my doctor was as enthusiastic about educating her patients.
I just came back from my Dr. appointment. Lasted less than 5 minutes and wouldnt answer some questions i had. Go on RUclips, tons of credible doctors offering free information and advice. What a time to be alive. Thank you Dr. Whoburrman!!
Been trying out these tools for about four weeks now. Always was a difficult sleeper, but had a good night sleep every single night since I started using these tools. I can't really describe what a relief it's been to finally get a hold on this after all this years. Thank you Andrew! This channel is absolute gold and I hope you'll continue to share content for a long time to come!
Thank you Andrew. My sleep has been inconsistent for a few years now. After listening to your first podcast, I decided to focus on improving it. For two weeks now I have followed your suggested behavioral protocols and my sleep has improved significantly. Love the podcast (and your appearances on Clubhouse) and I’m spreading the word...
lmaooooo then he's like "lets not focus on that" and i think umm yee kinda needed to hear that cause im already heading that way, i can feel it, let's see if i'm ever going to wake up before 3pm ...
Thank you for your podcasts, I've come to this one late in the day after discovering you in Jan 2022!. I wanted to share my sleep experience when travelling. Basically between 2012-2019 I traveled alot, staying in hotels and frankly couldn't sleep. However I learnt to rest so if I slept it was a bonus. I relaxed, used meditation and accepted I probably wasn't going to sleep but I could rest. It was a solution born of despair. That in the end enabled me to deal with the fact I don't sleep away from home and helped me do my job. I don't sleep well in other beds so I apply it to whenever I travel. It's more than a power nap, I think the acceptance that I'm not going to sleep but need to rest is a key factor.
Reviewing the talks again and again I am always touched by generosity of Dr. Andrew Huberman to open a deep knowlege for his audience and for his ability to explain the complex topic in simple, understandable way. He is the Mr.Hyperman. Thank you!
Making notes of all these beautiful pieces of information no one introduced me to in the past 21 yrs of my life. Will definitely be using and telling them to all around me. Thank you professor.
Man... I appreciate this knowledge soo much. I was always reading on my phone before I sleep and I kept feeling tired and depressed over a longer period of time. The part about bad light really helped, thank you so much.
I did exactly what Andrew said and I swear I woke up way sooner, ( as In actually feel awake). I usually feel like a zombie until 1pm, and I have an immense amount of school work. This is going to help tremendously for time management. Go outside people! Worked immediately.
Andrew, you are more than brilliant in communicating information, people just don't want to change their lifes and get up early in the morning and go outside for 10 minutes, that's it) thank you very much for all your work!
I listening to Jesus over and over and every time I listen I'm learning something new. A little detail. I've been using this ideas and is being very helpful for me to sleep better and by sleeping better. I've been getting away from anxiety and also I'm not tired during the day. There's sunlight is also another thing that I've been doing and is amazing how this has been changing the clock on my body really great. Thank you, Andrew
I like your approach on how to conquer sleep problems, direct to the point, scientifically detailed & you don't have to scare your viewers by emphasizing on the ill effects of having no sleep at all. Really very good job & highly commendable!
Question for Office Hours: In Episode 1 you explained that our quality of focus changes throughout a 90 minute cycle. Can you discuss how much the length of that cycle varies between individuals? I have ADHD and my focus cycles seem to be much longer with a period of struggle that often lasts for upwards of 45 minutes and the ability to hyper focus for hours at a time.
I would love to dive a little deeper on how the exercise affects the sleep or falling asleep. Apart from that, I love the podcast, easily one of my favorites! Can't wait for the upcoming episodes!
I am so thankful for your Podcasts. I use to sleep so good and now I too have a hard time sleeping. I don’t know what changed. I will follow your suggestions. I was seating next to this gentlemen that was having a difficult time with flying. I suggested him to listen to your Podcasts in regard anxiety. I gave him your name and I hope that he does! I try to listen to you at least twice a day instead of wasting my time watching TV (sports)😊. You deliver your message so eloquently that I take notes just to remember what I need to do. I am so interested in what you have to say that I want to take Neuroscience classes. This should be a prerequisite in college. Again, thank you Dr. Huberman 🤗
I'm not sure how we're supposed to implement these light timings with the seasonal changes in day & night lengths. Currently if I were to wake up as close to the sunrise it would be around 8am, and then I'd have to start shutting off at 4pm. In summer this would be waking up at 4am and going to sleep at like 11pm, which would be 5 hours of sleep. Can you elaborate? In Why We Sleep Matthew mentioned that it's vital to always go to sleep and wake up at the same times.
I don’t think it’s as simple as sunlight determining your exact times of wakefulness and sleepiness. From what I can tell from what Andrew said in this episode is that your clock is set when you first have light exposure in the morning (that initial boost in cortisol), and that doesn’t necessarily have to be sunrise, just blue/yellow light. And perceiving sunset light doesn’t make you sleepy, it simply aids in reducing the negative effects that artificial light late in the evening has on your melatonin production.
He iterates over and over again that the exposure to bright, blue light does not have to be immediately as the sun rises, and can be hours after, as long as the sun isn't overhead.
@@ykcirodd That doesn't change the fact that if there's a difference of 4-5 hours between sunrises on different seasons I can't seem to grasp how we're supposed to do that. I'm waking at 4.30 am every day (works perfectly well for the summer) and in winter it's simply not plausible for me to switch my entire schedule to 8.30am solely to watch the sunrise, not even considering it being later than that. Dr Matthew Walker speaks volumes to setting your schedule in stone so that you sleep roughly at the same hours every day, as even 1 hour shift in regular schedule may be damaging. That's why I'm confused here.
He likewise says that if you wake up before sunrise, you can use artificial light, although it's not the most recommended, but you've got to get a certain amount of lux and blue light. And also said if you wake up well ahead of the sun rising, to at least make sure you get some when it does rise. He provides a lot of flexibility, and makes mention of night workers and a whole plethora of other variables. I don't see what he isn't addressing.
I wanted to thank you for this content. Thank you for a very clear, detailed, relevant, and extremely helpful explanation. Holding off on drinking caffeine until 10 helps me a lot. I am so greatful for any teaching content, but especially greatful of more detailed and lengthy content. Thank you for taking the time to create such a clear content.
@Allergic To Hypocrisy for me reading notes allows me to commit things to memory and understand them better even if they're just temporarily used, its easier to read a page or two of notes then to watch an hour podcast
If my uni professors would present the knowledge as Andrew does I would be a genius. What a gem, so much knowledge and passion put together in an interesting way using simple language. I’m speechless. Thank you so much!
Dr. Huberman, I have two questions I have thought deeply about. I love the podcast, thanks: 1. What is the time window one should view the natural outside sunlight (safely) in the morning to trigger these neurons, ultimately influencing the CR? Just sunrise? Or can a 10am viewing time also work? 2. If a consistent sleep schedule is obtainable 5 out of 7 days of the week only, is it more beneficial on the days lacking consistency to wake up at one's normal same time despite lack of quality sleep, or to stay asleep, past the normal wake up time, in order to accumulate more hours slept? Could one activate the neurons in the eye and then go back to sleep to maintain the circadian rhythm?
25 July,2023. thank you Universe to make me stumble upon this amazing channel. Dr Huberman, I have decided to listen to everything you have to say on your channel from the beginning and understand and make patterns with different subjects and take detail notes!

This podcast was life-changing for me, and I mean it.
I have been struggling to fix my sleep cycle for years now and I never understood why it was so difficult for me. I tried so hard to sleep and wake up early but I could never be consistent with it. I never felt well rested when I work up early and always thought that maybe I am just a night owl. After listening to this podcast I realized I had incorporated several bad habits into my life like not getting sunlight when I wake up and exposing myself to bright screens and working late in the night, because I would start my day late and inevitably end up staying up late.
I do not have many windows in my room and my curtains are always closed which now makes so much sense why I never felt fully awake.
I read countless blogs and watched YT videos hoping I'd find a way to fix this bad habit because I could sense that this was starting to affect my lifestyle, work, and even relationships because I'd never wake up on time and make it any place on time in the mornings.
I struggled with this for years, and when you explained this, I could connect all the dots and it made me tear up Mr. Andrew, I am so so thankful to you for sharing this. I never comment on YT videos but this right here was life-changing for me and I wanted to let you know that you are a blessing in disguise for people like me. Very grateful!
When you said 'it's difficult to change your mind with your mind', it hit me so hard. I had been trying to force myself to change just mentally intending to do it but didn't know how to go about it. But with your advice, I will begin to make positive changes, and live a happy, conscious, and healthy life. Please continue to share your knowledge!
Thank you so much! ❤️
So how are you doing now after a year? I hope your sleep is better!
So true..
Funny thing about me is that my sleeping and schedule is a disaster and my body's preference (or rather my subconcious) while sleeping is to keep curtains open before sleeping for the morning sunlight but the living situations I've been in (friends, family) never really allowed that to happen.
My body has been trying to fix me forever and my mind wouldn't know.
Our bodies are incredible works of art and privileged are those who study how our bodies work.
Thank you from an engineer.
@@MumbamumbaI want to know too!
This is me to the “t”!!

This was such a great, informative episode. I took lots of notes to help incorporate this new info into my life to build a healthier lifestyle.
Sharing my notes here, hope they are helpful :)
Sleep resets the ability to be focused, alert and emotionally stable in the wakeful period.
There are 2 forces that determines sleep. Chemical forces which are adenosine, cortisol, epinephrine and adrenaline and Melatonin. And the Circadian Force which is the clock that exists in our brains that determines when we want to be sleepy or awake. Light exposure is the key driving force to setting our circadian rhythm & driving the right chemical/hormonal forces at the right times of day.
Best Waking Practices
1. Get outside upon waking (ideally within 1-2 hours of sunrise) and get light exposure to the eyes & body. (Don’t look at light if it hurts your eyes). Early in the day, your retina is not sensitive which will need a lot of photons coming from sunlight to set clock mechanisms.
2. Sunrise light intensity & color temperature (from sun being low in the sky) is ideal to set our circadian and hormonal rhythm.
3. Getting outside is ideal because the intensity of outdoor light is so much greater than indoor or screen light. (Outdoors Sunny day: 100,000 lux, Outdoors Cloudy Day: 10,000-50,000 lux and Inside Bright lights: 500 - 1,000 lux)
4. Time needed in outdoor morning light to set our body clock (Outside Sunny Day: 30-60 seconds and Outside Cloudy Day: ~5 minutes)
5. Important to be outside, viewing sunlight through a window will take 50x as long for your brain to get the necessary light information.
6. We want blue light during day, don’t wear blue light blocking glasses during the day.
Best Evening Practices
1. Get outside to see the sunset. Sun is at low solar angle and close to the horizon, drives melanopsin which signals the circadian clock that it’s the end of the day
2. Use night mode screen on your device screens (my note: F.lux program for computer)
3. Dim lights, using warmer color temperature. (my note: Philips hue)
4. Candles / Fireplace wont causing wakefulness signals (Don’t burn down house)
5. The cells in our eyes that signals the central clock resides mostly in the bottom half of our retina which means it’s viewing our upper visual field. To avoid improper activation of neurons, place light low in your physical environment, on desktops or floor.
6. It is absolutely crucial to avoid light exposure between 11pm and 4am. It will disrupt many important physiological processes that help us rest and repair.
Provide consistent powerful light anchors during the day and avoiding light at night, you get a tremendous number of positive effects on your wellbeing.
Control your sleep environment
1. Get the right light exposure at the right times
2. Have dim, low lights at night
3. Get the proper sleep surface & pillow for spine alignment (my note: organic natural material)
4. Set the right sleep temperature (my note: ~65F (18.3 degrees Celsius) )
5. Set your exercise timing to a regular period throughout the week, ideally in the morning.
Non-Sleep Deep Rest are practices that activate cells in your body that promotes the parasympathetic or calming system.
1. Yoga Nidra/Yoga Sleep (Dr. Huberman's favorite)
2. Meditation
3. Hypnosis
Recommended Sleep Drugs & Supplements
1. Magnesium - Huberman takes 300-400 mg, 30 mins before sleep (Consult doctor about appropriate dosing for you.)
2. Theanine - Take 100-200mg of theanine 30-60 minutes before bed
3. Apigenin (Can lower estrogen, women use caution) - Taking 50mg of apigenin can support the creation of sleepiness and you help fall asleep faster.

Thank you so much Mr. Huberman. I was born into poverty and I’m afraid of going into crippling debt so I avoid schools/universities. I’ve always been interested in science and biology but I never had a solid way of acquiring new information. Tuning into your podcast has become the first and the last thing I do on a regular basis and I frequently replay a lot of different episodes.

I’m certain (given my age) this will set me up for another few years of more optimal cognitive function at least. Thank you so much Dr. Huberman for your time and knowledge!!

I want to testify that Dr. Andrew's podcast made me finally understand what happened to me. A year and a half ago I moved to another apartment and, a few days later, without having done anything special, I found myself waking up and sleeping earlier. Until then, I thought I was an owl: I slept late and woke up late. I only woke up early in extreme need and it was terrible. It turns out that now everything makes sense: in the new apartment, I see the morning sun and sunset every day. I could never imagine that the sun changed my life!

Congratulations on applying the knowledge you gained! but you still need to get out for at least 1-2mins for natural light :) after sunrise and before sunset.

1. Is there a difference between tiredness and sleepiness? Sometimes I feel very very tired, but not sleepy at all.
2. I hope you'll cover waking up during the night. Usually, I wake up after one and a half hour, and can't sleep straight all night. I wake up about 3 times a night, and last sleep interval is always the longer.
Thank you very much for what you are doing. God bless you!
Well, sleepiness is controlled by melatonin and circadiam rythm while tiredness could be low blood sugar for example
@@timom9833 yes, good answer! I believe you are right, although in my case it wouldn't be low sugar.
I would like to know what other causes exist for tiredness.
For 2, I think it’s not a problem if you are waking up naturally at the end of a cycle. I find that the same thing happens to me around 3-4 hours into sleep, and I usually fall asleep again quite easily. I also have an app that tracks my sleep phases and I find that I’m always waking up in a phase of light sleep.
@@Jacob-ib4zx thank for your answer. I feel my sleep is good, and i wake up in the morning, rested, repaired, and energetic.
I was worried because all the talking about importance of sleep, quality of sleep, etc, by experts, makes you feel that if you don't sleep according their ideal model, you are doing it wrong, damaging your health, and will premature die.
So true about the night owls. I´ve struggled getting up early and going to bed early for almost my entire life. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn´t force myself into a more typical schedule. 3 am to 11 am or so would be my preferred sleep schedule. I had given up hope of ever being able to consistently get up early and feel refreshed throughout the day. Until I started getting that morning light. A week in and there´s no going back for me. It really is night and day difference for me, no pun intended.
That is awesome!! Well done!! What are your wake and sleep times now?
Now that I've been waking up early, another unexpected problem started to happen. There's this time in the afternoon my body asks for a nap around 2 or 3PM, okay no big deal. The problem is: my "naps" end up being 5 or 6 hours. Is there a way for me to limit nap time somehow? That's when my entire sleep schedule goes to the trash bin and the cycle starts from zero
And this has been happening for years now, I was never able to sleep at night as well as my afternoon sleep. It's the perfect sleep but it happens at the worst possible hour of the day.
@@FeelingShredwhy don't u set an alarm for your nap

You’re one of the first people, even in the neurosciences I’ve heard that has confidently assert the role of sleep and sleep cycles in behavior. 25 years ago, I was writing papers on this exact subject as a neuropsych undergrad but had to read through experimental papers in the literature. I’ve always been blown away that over the last 25 years this discussion has never made it to the general social consciousness. Bravo! The one has come

Thanks 🙏🏻 ☺️
I noticed some absolutely amazing changes after listening to this program. I just woke up at 5:30 a.m. after 6 hours of sleep last night and 1 1/2 hour before my alarm goes off. I feel rested and alert. This happens very rarely for me (once a year at best). I am a 60 y/o single male and I have had sleep trouble my whole life. My circadian rhythm seemed to be out of sync and irratic all the time.
I am very excited to repeat this video to see if I can repeat or improve upon last night.
I recommend Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker. Gave me a lot of knowledge and inspiration to take care of myself better this past year

I'm a colllege librarian (retired) and LOVE your emphasis on peer-reviewed studies. A+!
I just went on here because I’m really trying to find motivation and change my life and you uploaded this 22 seconds ago when I happened to open RUclips up. I needed this. Thank you man, I’m a former street skater too (enough said) and your story and information is invaluable to me. Thank you, I’ll be stickin around.
Stay strong, Nick!!
Nick, you've got this!!
Be disciplined mate, I am also trying so hard to be disciplined, following my new year resolution so far, daily routines and fitness too
Dr. Huberman's personal story is really inspiring (let alone the amazing science he has publically educated us on for the last few years). Wish you the best Nick!
@Nick Carter go watch Jordan Peterson on his RUclips channel. He’s helped me through my life a lot.
I had a terrible sleep. I stay up late, woke up early, sleep time hardly exceeded 5 hours, I had an anxiety disorder and a depression. Until I get a couple of budgerigars. They are very demanding for a regular schedule. And thanks to these two lovely birds I started to get up in the same time every day, and tend to get to bed pretty much consistently in the same time. A year after - no anxiety attacks since then, and depression fall back to the mild cyclothymia.
I'm so extremely grateful for you making this podcast. I think I've watched and rewatched every
single interview with you on RUclips and been waiting for your book so much! What a gift to see you doing this long format on RUclips. Thank you so much for your work, Andrew!

I’ve been learning English with this podcasts , I really love it 🥰 I’m obsessed with your podcasts Huberman 😍😍😍😍😍😇
Hi, Andrew. I just wanted to express my condolences for your loss of Costelo. He sounded like an awesome dog. Thanks for everything you're doing with this podcast!
We really live in a fascinating time. Not only do we as humans possess such deep understanding of suvh niche subjects, but we are also able to condense it so well into a such an approachable format. It took lifetimes to understand every minute of information shared in this podcast.
I have always struggled with my sleep, usually wanting to sleep around 3-4AM and thought that's was how my body was wired. After taking your advice to manipulate the lighting in my environment to mimic the natural day cycle, I was able to fix my sleeping pattern. The best part is that IT FELT NATURAL.
Dr. Andrew I want to thank you from the city of Cyrene in Libya, you're changing my perceptions, which means you're changing my life. Your impact is worldwide.
Topics:
-Drugs, psychedelics and brain
-Speed reading and learning
-Sleep
fuk speed reading, you idiot
Speed reading is a good one lol we all do that
@@jeriesnasr well I'd like to hear it from Dr. Huberman at least. And probably I'd try to learn it anyways. You don't need speed reading as much as you need speed writing, because in all your anger and dumbness you can't even spell fuck properly
@@michelezanirato8281 don't mind him,very angry, pathetic man
Not sure if you've heard of MAPS before but they're all about psychedelic research and the brain!
I am a middle-aged guy who was always a sound sleeper, until a few years ago when I suffered occasional difficulty in falling asleep or going back to sleep after waking in the middle of the night. My lifestyle hadn't really changed and I was healthy and feeling good, just struggling with sleep more often than I could accept. So I started the morning sunlight routine several weeks ago. My sleep has improved dramatically. Thank you, Dr. Haberman!
Please, turn this into a book and take my money. What an absolute gem of a podcast.
It’s the first channel which I don’t feel annoyed when sponsors are read out：D
I guess sponsors are what we pay to access this knowledge. Hopefully in time supporters will grow enough to finance the podcast 🤞
I feel the same way. Actually, I was thinking I would probably have more confidence is someone he is promoting.
I found it very annoying, especially that concerning the Yoga nonsense.
I'm glad we have someone who can explain things so complicated in such a simple way!
This literally saved my life. Never slept well since I remembered. Now I don't need to be afraid when I get on the bed and thinking how can I fall asleep faster and longer. Thank you Dr. Huberman for releasing such valuable information!
What did u do?
I went for a quick walk last the evening and had the best sleep that I have had in 3 months. Thank you Dr. Huberman, you are a life saver

I have suffered with sleep like my father before me since I was twelve. I now sleep .... thank you. I am glad I never stopped looking for answers because you had them. I do the supplements and the light and it has been life changing.
How do you time it with lights ? what does your routine look like ? and in what climate do you reside
This is life-changing information. I simply cannot thank you enough for making this podcast. I’ve been struggling with sleep my whole life and nothing has ever helped. I’m so used to the typical, INFURIATING advice of “Just go to sleep earlier!”
@zam Fr💯
Ik it’s not very good for you but cannabis or thc can help you fall asleep
Were you able to employ any of these tips?
Could you please talk about the importance of breathing properly when we're sleeping? And how we can improve our breathing. I personally have trouble breathing through my nose when I sleep.
This is definitely my new favorite podcast, thank you Andrew.
yes...snoring...asking for a friend
Get nasal inserts for snoring
I have been taping my mouth before sleeping for some time now and it works wonders, just a little piece of tape will do. You might also be interested in Mewing, or tongue posture, if done properly it keeps your mouth closed at all times and with practice it becomes instinctive.
Please watch Paul Chek's videos.
You mentioned that you can trigger dopamine release on command to reinforce actions. Can you just do a whole video on that? Need a demonstration.
Second that motion.
Third!
I find this to be very useful and Andrew really helped me realize the importance of releasing dopamine BEFORE you reach your end goal , while working TOWARDS a goal . But the KEY is you need solid evidence that you’re on the right path to reaching your goal . At this stage , the more dopamine you release the easier it will be to keep grinding in the face of any adversity that will come in your way while trying to reach your goal ..
Great shout Sam, would love to see this
Don't positive actions reinforce themselves in the form of dopamine?
I've just found this channel recently and I've went back to podcast 1 and working my way through. Absolutely fascinated so far and grateful to Andrew for all the content he is putting out. 🙏
Thank you so much Andrew, I appreciate and love all your posts, you have the most amazing voice and could listen to you(and do) for hours, such an awesome subject on sleep,. my question is I do all the things but take anti deppression just changed, but been taking Rivatrol for 7 years and am totally addicted, have tried to take one but doesn't help me, need 2,take mag theronate
Moi aussi je viens de découvrir cette chaîne et j'ai beaucoup appris. 🇨🇮
When you have struggled for more than a decade to have energy, and you realise that just being exposed to sunlight at the right time is a big part of the solution🤯
did it work out for you?
Im gonna have to try this
Results?
Switching to reading by candlelight before bed (in my early years of university) made a big difference in my sleep!
Science, specifially biology, should be taught in a way that relates to self-development, where possible. Makes the subject at hand 100x more interesting, 'cause most people strive for better.
Very true ..! And it should be combined with psychology that should also be re-defined as the study of evolution of human potential ..!
That should be done with every subject i think :)
Biology strives to survive so do mind
Not only science or biology. Practically every knowledge when viewed through the lense of application to one's life and self-development makes it way more engaging and interesting. (talk about a dopamine release!)
As far as I agree with most of that statement, the last part isn't necessarily true. Most people look mostly for easy ways out and entertainment, not self-development.
I am so hooked. these teachings are everything . I am trying not to binge watch so I can comprehend. watched Episode 1 again and took notes as it sets the foundation. Thank you for putting these out. Please show Costello!
Hands-down my favorite podcast. Thanks for educating the humanity. It means the world! 😍
There are videos here on youtube that you desperately want to like multiple times because of the quality of the content and the method of delivery.
This is one of those videos.
35:10 Please repeat as much as you want, I'm really loving the extreme amount of detail you give, wish my doctor was as enthusiastic about educating her patients.
I just came back from my Dr. appointment. Lasted less than 5 minutes and wouldnt answer some questions i had.
Go on RUclips, tons of credible doctors offering free information and advice. What a time to be alive. Thank you Dr. Whoburrman!!
Been trying out these tools for about four weeks now. Always was a difficult sleeper, but had a good night sleep every single night since I started using these tools. I can't really describe what a relief it's been to finally get a hold on this after all this years. Thank you Andrew! This channel is absolute gold and I hope you'll continue to share content for a long time to come!
Thank you Andrew. My sleep has been inconsistent for a few years now. After listening to your first podcast, I decided to focus on improving it. For two weeks now I have followed your suggested behavioral protocols and my sleep has improved significantly. Love the podcast (and your appearances on Clubhouse) and I’m spreading the word...

@@misa-olive Care to elaborate
Thank you for your podcasts, I've come to this one late in the day after discovering you in Jan 2022!. I wanted to share my sleep experience when travelling. Basically between 2012-2019 I traveled alot, staying in hotels and frankly couldn't sleep. However I learnt to rest so if I slept it was a bonus. I relaxed, used meditation and accepted I probably wasn't going to sleep but I could rest. It was a solution born of despair. That in the end enabled me to deal with the fact I don't sleep away from home and helped me do my job. I don't sleep well in other beds so I apply it to whenever I travel. It's more than a power nap, I think the acceptance that I'm not going to sleep but need to rest is a key factor.
Reviewing the talks again and again I am always touched by generosity of Dr. Andrew Huberman to open a deep knowlege for his audience and for his ability to explain the complex topic in simple, understandable way. He is the Mr.Hyperman. Thank you!
Making notes of all these beautiful pieces of information no one introduced me to in the past 21 yrs of my life. Will definitely be using and telling them to all around me. Thank you professor.
Man... I appreciate this knowledge soo much.
I was always reading on my phone before I sleep and I kept feeling tired and depressed over a longer period of time. The part about bad light really helped, thank you so much.
I did exactly what Andrew said and I swear I woke up way sooner, ( as In actually feel awake). I usually feel like a zombie until 1pm, and I have an immense amount of school work. This is going to help tremendously for time management. Go outside people! Worked immediately.
Fr man my schedule is changed from sleeping at 3-4-5-6 am to 10-11pm to 12/am latest and waking at 7-8am instead of the Pms. Just genius
I did it too today! Feeling a lot more energy and alertness.

I've been using this ideas and is being very helpful for me to sleep better and by sleeping better. I've been getting away from anxiety and also I'm not tired during the day. There's sunlight is also another thing that I've been doing and is amazing how this has been changing the clock on my body really great. Thank you, Andrew
I like your approach on how to conquer sleep problems, direct to the point, scientifically detailed & you don't have to scare your viewers by emphasizing on the ill effects of having no sleep at all. Really very good job & highly commendable!
Question for Office Hours:
In Episode 1 you explained that our quality of focus changes throughout a 90 minute cycle. Can you discuss how much the length of that cycle varies between individuals?
I have ADHD and my focus cycles seem to be much longer with a period of struggle that often lasts for upwards of 45 minutes and the ability to hyper focus for hours at a time.
Yes, would love for Dr. Huberman to cover the spectrum on focus and how it relates to the ultradian rhythm.
Dr Huberman is precious. Every podcast is a gem.

I am so thankful for your Podcasts. I use to sleep so good and now I too have a hard time sleeping. I don’t know what changed. I will follow your suggestions. I was seating next to this gentlemen that was having a difficult time with flying. I suggested him to listen to your Podcasts in regard anxiety. I gave him your name and I hope that he does! I try to listen to you at least twice a day instead of wasting my time watching TV (sports)😊. You deliver your message so eloquently that I take notes just to remember what I need to do. I am so interested in what you have to say that I want to take Neuroscience classes. This should be a prerequisite in college. Again, thank you Dr. Huberman 🤗
I'm not sure how we're supposed to implement these light timings with the seasonal changes in day & night lengths. Currently if I were to wake up as close to the sunrise it would be around 8am, and then I'd have to start shutting off at 4pm. In summer this would be waking up at 4am and going to sleep at like 11pm, which would be 5 hours of sleep. Can you elaborate?
In Why We Sleep Matthew mentioned that it's vital to always go to sleep and wake up at the same times.
Yes would love the answer to this one as well
I don’t think it’s as simple as sunlight determining your exact times of wakefulness and sleepiness. From what I can tell from what Andrew said in this episode is that your clock is set when you first have light exposure in the morning (that initial boost in cortisol), and that doesn’t necessarily have to be sunrise, just blue/yellow light. And perceiving sunset light doesn’t make you sleepy, it simply aids in reducing the negative effects that artificial light late in the evening has on your melatonin production.
He iterates over and over again that the exposure to bright, blue light does not have to be immediately as the sun rises, and can be hours after, as long as the sun isn't overhead.
@@ykcirodd That doesn't change the fact that if there's a difference of 4-5 hours between sunrises on different seasons I can't seem to grasp how we're supposed to do that. I'm waking at 4.30 am every day (works perfectly well for the summer) and in winter it's simply not plausible for me to switch my entire schedule to 8.30am solely to watch the sunrise, not even considering it being later than that. Dr Matthew Walker speaks volumes to setting your schedule in stone so that you sleep roughly at the same hours every day, as even 1 hour shift in regular schedule may be damaging. That's why I'm confused here.
He likewise says that if you wake up before sunrise, you can use artificial light, although it's not the most recommended, but you've got to get a certain amount of lux and blue light. And also said if you wake up well ahead of the sun rising, to at least make sure you get some when it does rise. He provides a lot of flexibility, and makes mention of night workers and a whole plethora of other variables. I don't see what he isn't addressing.
What a pleasure it is to hear someone talk about circadian rhythms who actually understands circadian rhythms! Thank you MW!

I would always get so excited seeing you as a guest of Lex's podcast. Thank you for starting your own channel/podcast!
Dr. Huberman, I have two questions I have thought deeply about. I love the podcast, thanks:
1. What is the time window one should view the natural outside sunlight (safely) in the morning to trigger these neurons, ultimately influencing the CR? Just sunrise? Or can a 10am viewing time also work?
2. If a consistent sleep schedule is obtainable 5 out of 7 days of the week only, is it more beneficial on the days lacking consistency to wake up at one's normal same time despite lack of quality sleep, or to stay asleep, past the normal wake up time, in order to accumulate more hours slept? Could one activate the neurons in the eye and then go back to sleep to maintain the circadian rhythm?
25 July,2023. thank you Universe to make me stumble upon this amazing channel. Dr Huberman, I have decided to listen to everything you have to say on your channel from the beginning and understand and make patterns with different subjects and take detail notes!

Amazingly Effective recommendations. I have had very bad night sleep for many months now. I tried all the sleeping pills on Amazon and nothing worked. I began doing the recommendations. I pray in the mornings and nights, See the Sun in the mornings and significantly reduced the caffeine. Right now my sleep is one of the best I ever had.
