ADVICE

Take The Phone Out Of The Room When You Need Focus

Remove phones from the room to reduce cognitive load and restore baseline focus.
Huberman explains having a phone on the table or in the room consumes cognitive resources and makes focus harder even if performance appears similar.

ADVICE

Start Your Day With Morning Sunlight

Get bright natural light in the first hour after waking to spike morning cortisol and set a healthy circadian rhythm.
Huberman says sunlight through a window improves sleep, blood glucose, and daily energy versus dim/artificial mornings.

ADVICE

Dim Evenings To Protect Sleep And Metabolism

Dim lights in the last hour before sleep to allow melatonin release and lower morning blood glucose.
Huberman cites studies where even 100 lux at night raised kids' morning blood glucose, so reduce evening light and consider blue blockers.
