Improving Sleep
Going outside when you first wake up for about 2-10 minutes as well as in the evening for a few minutes will greatly improve sleep, mood, and energy as well as other things.
- This is because the light (or lack of it) acts as cues to your body, telling it that this is the time to be awake (achieved due to the effect of the sun), and in the evening, that this is the time to settle down
-is also the case when inside your home. You should be increasing your exposure to (natural) light in the morning, but in the evening you should be decreasing light exposure(including the blue light from our devices)

Reducing Stress
Huberman notes many simple (but effective) ways of reducing/ preventing feelings of stress in our daily lives. These include:
- Expanding vison: This method can be used wherever you are and involves consciously increasing your field of vision so you are using your peripheral vision instead of being focused on a small area
- Double Breathing: Double breathing is achieved by inhaling deeply through the nose and then quickly following that with a second short and sharp inhale (without exhaling). Then a long exhale.
This alone has been proven to greatly reduce stress even after the first breath

Hydration
Hydration plays a very important role in maintaining a high-functioning brain and body. Ensuring you are sufficiently hydrated throughout the day is the first step, however, Huberman mentions a hydration strategy for performing physically or mentally taxing work at a high standard. here it is:
- Your body weight (in pounds) divided by 30 is the amount of water (in ounces) you should drink about every 20 mins when performing physical/ mental tasks.

Other Tips & Tricks
- Aim for some kind of social interaction when you wake up (could be with your pet)
- 50mg of Apigenin, 300-400 mg of Magnesium Threonate or Magnesium Bisglycinate, and 200 - 400 mg of Theanine. (Hubermans 'sleep cocktail')
(Speak with relevant health professional before trying)

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
