<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Andrew Huberman, PhD runs a neurobiology lab at Stanford University and talks today with Joe De Sena about the brain science behind many of our moods and behaviors. How can you trigger the chemical releases, naturally with behaviors, that will help you sleep better, control stress, and achieve more?  It turns out napping is great for memory, recovery, and health, that a simple breathing technique can immediately reduce stress, and dopamine can help you achieve your goals.  Dive into what your brain chemicals are actually doing and how to control your internal reward mechanisms. This episode is full of invaluable tips! </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">LESSONS</span></p> <ol> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Biology is a process not an event </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rest is what rewires your brain</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Napping makes you better </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Slow wave sleep = deep recovery </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Nervous system instructs the immune system </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Behavior, diet + supplementation are key </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Get sun in your eyes in the morning </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Avoid bright lights at night </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Exercise early in the day</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Learn what works best for you </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">understand internal reward mechanisms</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Learn how to toggle internal switches </span></li>
