I explain how to increase energy and alertness in the morning, optimize your workspace and work sessions for maximum focus, and structure your day for sustained productivity. I also discuss the roles of fasting, meal and caffeine timing, and key nutrients, as well as how to leverage exercise to sharpen alertness and cognitive performance. Additionally, I describe evening practices and supplements that help you fall asleep quickly and promote quality sleep.

I want to know how effective fasting is for woman bc of hormones and cortisol levels. I would assume men benefit from fasting more than woman do.

I wish there was a woman version for this. These statement seem based off of studies done for only men
@sokooulare42437:00 ¿¿let's do lithium instead of caffeine!! AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE TO ALL LANGUAGES: simplify locate and return Keely's brother, children, grandchildren, vehicle, house, equipment, supplies, keepsakes, plants, animals, money, and careers to rescue this planet and propagate the next. 36:02 why do we have both or either? Is it a 50/50 split?
@keelyevans7692Waking up 5 am and first thing he does is walk in sunlight. Really? It's June 10 and the sun was rising at 6:29 AM in Miami and in winter time it rises after 7 AM...but you wake up at 5 AM and first thing you do is walk on the sun?
@Jozsef.A.PSmall changes, big impact. These protocols are the perfect key to mastering my daily rhythm. Thank you, Dr. Huberman, for sharing such impactful science!
@Better_English_YTحد مصري هنا 🇪🇬
@uuuhmokkfhBut i dont agree on taking about half a tea spoon of sea salt (06: 03 minutes )early in the morning Dr. huberman. Because thats almost dangerous level of sodium intake nevertheless we will take salt in some or the other form as the day goes on.
@nikhiljoyappa687Thank you Doctor, for your advice and insights. I've realized that i've been overlooking many things in my daily life because so much of my time and attention have been taken up by other things without me even noticing.
@YosuaArisandi29:22 Dang, Thank you doctor. I think this is my biggest takeaway 😂
@AkhiAwais936thank you Dr.Andrew always high quality delivery
@scp710Only 90 minutes of work in the whole day?
@KhadijaK-s8ethis video had a smooth flow and kept the vibe interesting till the end 🔥
@paaankajtiwari14this video has that rare “easy to keep watching” flow 😭
nothing feels forced, the pacing is clean and it doesn’t bombard your brain with edits every half second like modern attention-span warfare lol
this has that dangerous youtube energy where you say “just one quick video” and suddenly it’s been 40 minutes 😭
the pacing is actually solid tho, keeps things interesting without trying way too hard lol
Insightful! 😊
@SeeTrueSelfEstatesWhat a fortunate time to live! You can have your own personal Professor whenever you want! Thank you Prof. Huberman! You've impacted my entire life greatly!
@harisawan1577“Pure talent right here 💯”
@JohnDuran-r1zThank you. Greatly appreciate your clips
@florence647Thank you Dr Andrew
@VisionStackHQThis episode is gold!!He explains exactly how to align your habits with your body's natural 24hour rhythm. Super practical and easy to follow🤩🤩
@HealthPodcast_ClipsBest advice by you !! Look down when you are on bed and you are trying to sleep .
@princeojha9818Hey Andrew, I am a big admirer of your work. Could you please do some reseach on afternoon crash specially post lunch. Thanks!
@Personal_Life_JournalIn this modern world, health is gradually neglected, and when it hits you, health bills will beat the heck out of you, unless you're rich, obviously.
@meraki1-01You say the temperature minimum is about two hours before your average wake up time. I'm curious if that is based on your wake up naturally or if you're waking up via alarm clock if this changes things. If I let my body wake up on its own I'd say around 8/830 am is a natural wake up for me. But if I use my alarm clock then 630/7 am is my wake up. Is the best way to finding the temp minimum by calculating the avg wake up time over say a span of two weeks? What's a good baseline to calculate this so I can work on finding the most efficient work bout time?
@hubermanlab I love your videos! Very insightful and have picked up lots of new habits!
Amazing as always
@MejorTúYTI am aging gracefully, yet slightly uncomfortably. Please address the brains aging true issues, not pharmaceutical treatments. How can we prepare ourselves?
@PhilBedel-b1iMy question to you is: why did you change your mind or view on red light glasses!!!
And please take a minute to answer, thankyou
What I love about Huberman is he doesn't just say what to do — he explains the mechanism behind it. That's the difference between following advice and actually trusting it.
@Rising2beOH WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR WORK!
@human_arch.itectureMy work schedule requires me to wake at 4 am. NO LIGHT for hrs. Plus dangerous to be alone outdoors. I leave for work in 1 hr 40 minutes. I’m at work before light in a whse. So frustrating that I can’t even attempt this routine. I have 10 months till retirement, then I plan to seriously work at this. Love walking. Don’t know what else to do until then. Thoughts?
@christinawarrington3192You are an encyclopedia who has absorbed the information brilliantly in its application. I will watch this again and take notes. I’m traversing through late diagnosis ADHD with my son, and in finding he is a little treatment resistant, the thyroid was put on my radar in the last National Geographic that you are quoted in on ADHD. This episode resonates, as ADHDers, like my college aged son, stay up late. We are currently helping him course correct and adopt behaviors that will contribute and align with his goals. It’s a wholistic approach, while he is also on medication.
@everydaysarah524017:16 "one of the best things you can do for your brain is to not eat". what are you talking about. the brain relies mostly on glucose...
@yishadnggThat 80/20 rule actually makes the idea of exercise less intimidating. I have it stuck in my mind sometimes that unless I work out so hard I feel like I'm going to throw up that the workout "didn't count" (sounds silly when I write it down). I tend to push too hard so the 80/20 rule is a good reminder for me
@davidmeyer5118I can't improve my productivity in entire day i just made things very hard i overthinking more i dont work on my goals i just stuck in loop
@KrishPrajapati-m3mThank you so much for your hard work ❤️ appreciate that in the deepest of my heart... From Brazil❤
