There is so much information that has been sitting with academic and medical communities for decades and Huberman is giving it to the public and changing lives. Incredible work.
This is what boggles my mind. It feels like it's been "locked up" rather than sitting with medical communities. There is hardly anyone who I respect more in this life than Dr. Andrew Huberman!
I think that’s an issue with the medical system and big companies than it is with the scientific community. Same with politicians they don’t really value new scientific research as much as they used to. At least in America idk how it is in other countries
@@LifeFilmz exactly, it's corporations who don't benefit from people educating themselves and governments who want to keep control over their population through all kinds of means and the more educated people are the harder they are to control. It's fucking depressing. We are lucky to still be able to access relatively uncensored YT content because that's absolutely not the case in many countries.
1 I am not a native speaker of English and not much training in science, but these talks are delivered so well that I understand so easily and learn a lot. 2 how come these precious knowledge and interesting talks are all free? It’s a blessing to have access to them. Thank you Andrew. Loving sciences and scientists.
Dr Hubberman changed my life. Because of his teachings I practice yoga nidra everyday, don’t have bright lights at home, get up early each day to absorb the early son rays, and practice intermittent fasting for over 4 years now. I’m 45 looking like 35. I believe my ADHD has been reduced immensely, and my overall demeanor changed favorably. My family and I are deeply impacted by this wonderful man.
Thank you I'm new and I am trying to make serious changes. Just got off anxiety meds and trying to find my own natural balance. Doing a lot of research.
@@nannetteortiz-mulhall574just try practicing more frontal lobe work. Try to be present in the moment. Less tech use. Be mindful. Write journal for racing thoughts n clear your mind. Go for early morning walk. I hope these would help. Practice not to procrastinate and live in clutter free home
For lack of a better term, Gina was an absolutely delightful guest that brings a true passion, insight, and wisdom regarding a rather difficult topic to understand. Thank you so very much for introducing me to such a tremendous source of information. Feel free to geek out as needed - it's much appreciated.
I really wish there was a free sleep study I could sign up for! I’ve struggled to sleep for the past 10 years. I am awake when the rest of the world is sleeping and I am sleeping when everyone else is awake. Trying to switch the sleep schedule on my own is the hardest thing I have ever done and I feel like it’s dangerous
Absolutely! And I truly appreciate her bringing up prayer and the positive effects that can have. This is not talked about enough, and I believe it takes courage so I am grateful she did.
At 1:05 I felt a huge amount of compassion for people suffering from PTSD. The neurological reason supporting/ causing/ setting up the body to have no choice but to emotionally replay the moments after the traumatic experience as though we are back in time (because those neurons are) … wells up my heart to better understand, appreciate, and empathize with the feelings they have no choice but to feel because that’s the neurological pathways they live through. Omg 🤯
Reading this comment knowing there are those that have empathy towards us. Thank you. I've had to cut my family off for not understanding even the basics and keep forcing me to relive trauma even more than my brain does already. Gives me hope for the world that there are people with hearts out there.
I think one of the things I love about Huberman's podcast is that he finds these scientists who are publishing great work, then has them come in and explain the work in a way that the layman can understand them. I'm never going to read all of these academic publications (often because they're behind expensive paywalls which sucks, but I digress), and even if I did, I'm not sure that I would be able to turn the salient points into actionable steps. Thank you Dr. Huberman for being a potent force for good! I would have watched/listened to an interview twice as long with Dr. Poe - both of you are such fascinating speakers.
Thanks a lot Andrew for having such an important aspect of our life explained so beautifully and cogently through Dr.Gina Poe.I am sure millions around the world will benefit from her advice and improve not only their sleep but their life in general.A heartfelt thanks to Dr.Poe, you and your team!
I always enjoy Dr. Andrew’s podcasts. Some of them are truly a life-changer for me. This interview was an eye opener because I used to be a night owl for so many years. I’d stay up until 2:00 am, waking up around 9:00 am or later. I’d been always feeling so lazy, sluggish, tired, low energy level, and feeling depressed but when I decided to change my daily routine and started waking up at 5:00 - 6:00 am in the morning everyday, my entire life has drastically shifted. I have a lot more energy, I feel motivated, positive, and productive everyday. I only sleep about 6 hours but I’ve been perfectly fine for several months now. I realized the importance of following the natural rhythm of the sun & earth if I want to be at optimal health physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Dr. Andrew Huberman, Thank you so much for all that you do. 🙏🏼💗
I'm so glad you were able to move to a better schedule that suited you!!! My only question is "were you really ever a night owl." I am a dedicated night owl, and when I have to change my sleep schedule as we all often do, I am a basket case for days! I can always make oneself wake up (alarm) but it is nearly impossible to make one fall asleep! I don't worry too much about the "natural rhythm of the sun and earth" as that is nearly impossible depending where you are at the moment. I'm a generation older than you would be my guess. News came on at 7 (dinner time) (school didn't start til 9am in those days and if you played a sport you would make it home by 6pm.) and 11pm news followed by Johnny Carson. never mind my 3 hrs of homework in between. I love the peace at night and the chaos in the am not so much. so each of us has our own schedules that work best for us. Times have changed and everything is now two hours earlier. There has been much written that school starting so early is actually detrimental for kids so why so early? two styles and they fit two types of people. again, glad you found you rhythm!
@@jumpeight thanks for your insight, I do see why so many like sleeping through the morning hours. Luckily my morning hours are the most quiet times, so I love my early mornings, watching the sunrise. peace.
I'm in the same process of changing my sleeping patterns. This podcast has also opened my eyes to the benefits of going to bed earlier for optimal health as well. Thanks for your encouraging post!
I'm a chronic night owl who would love to be a morning person. I don't know why I am more alert at night. Mornings have always been a hard time for me. I hate the alarm clock and forcing myself up when I am enjoying my sleep but I never want to go to sleep when I'm fully awake. If I let myself sleep until I wake up naturally I will sleep until noon. I won't feel tired until 4 am. That means I am getting exactly 8 hours of sleep but not at the normal times. I have tried to change because it is not the most efficient time frame to live but I always fall back into this pattern. I am quite miserable when I get up early or force myself to sleep earlier too. Maybe I'm just a miserable maladjusted outlier. It would seem that I just can't fit into the regular pattern of society. Even in kindergarten my mother has to switch me to the afternoon class 🤷
I don’t know whether you will ever know this Andrew but my life has changed completely since I began listening to your podcasts. My life was stuck in between the self help books or motivational videos. When I came across this channel on RU-vid in January this year. I thought that may be these podcasts are specifically designed for me😅 but yes almost everyone is going through the same. Whether it was on dopamine, sleep, memory, stress etc. Every podcast just blew my mind away like I was telling myself that yes this is what I was looking for. Thank you Andrew , thank you.
I agree entirely, and it's transformed my perspective on how toxic I was to myself before. Those motivational videos make you feel inadequate by telling you that you're not achieving your dreams because you just don't want it badly enough, and that you're not waking up at 3am to start the day. After watching them with eye-catching scenery, you might feel a rush before bed but in the morning, it's torture battling against habits. Self-help books have 3 main sections: The first tells you how amazing the book is, and how many people it has helped. "I was poor, then I wrote this book and now I'm rich!" Section 2 is about anecdotal things that worked for them personally. They will list out 10 different things that they recall doing towards a goal but without knowing which ones were actually effective. Section 3 is about their other books. When it comes to the science based approach, I understand now the nutrition required to build the foundations for impulse control and habit keeping. This also applies to the protocols for optimising sleep, exercise and neurotransmitters. Another key thing about this podcast for me is that the information is being given for free so there isn't a suggestion for a particular product and that for me keeps me more open minded to what is being said.
After following ALL of your suggestions and purchasing great blackout curtains, I finally have been getting great sleep. Even after waking up at 3 am for a bathroom break (without turning on the light) I go right back to sleep, something I've been unable to do for 20 years. One odd side effect for the first few weeks were feelings of depression. I can only assume my brain is rewiring after two decades of sleep deprivation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💕. I tell EVERYONE I know about your podcasts.
I don't know what I've been doing until this point, but I take an hour long walk every day, and since I just discovered your channel, I always listen to it on Spotify. The amount of proper scientific information that is explained in such a manner that even a simple guy like myself can understand it and learn from it is simply invaluable! Thank you so much for your content!
Having been a complex trauma sufferer since way before psych 'knew' it existed, my gratitude for how the advances in neuro-science, and your ever increasingly helpful dissemination of its knowledge, grows by the day. Just removing the shame some psych methodologies heap on (treatment resistant, transference/ counter theories, the concept of 'will'') from sufferers ' emotional state and thought processes is huge. All done with your signature deep humility , good humor, and respect. Thank you so much for your work. Each time I listen I learn something freeing that allows me to live a richer, more nuanced, more meaningful life...at 67. Special thanks to Dr. Poe. Even the soothing sound of your voice, positively reinforces the important and life changing message you have to share. Pax +
Great podcast Andrew. It must have been a pleasure to host a woman like Gina who is not only brilliant at what she does but also talks about her work in such a joyful and passionate manner. I rarely see people smile as much as she does and her smiles seem to be spontaneous and genuine.
I LOVE that Dr Poe stated that she is a Christian and uses prayer when yoga was mentioned! Many of us Christians do not practice yoga due to it being part of a religious practice from a non-Christian religion.
As someone who struggles with insomnia I feel absolutely fascinated by sleep podcasts. Thanks you for educating people, we really need the help and understanding of how to help ourself.
I suffered from insomnia for years. I decided to try dry fasting because I was really overweight. By hour 48ish of not eating and drinking, all my body wanted to do was sleep. I lost a good amount of body fat, as expected. But I didn't expect my ability to sleep to be restored, or my arthritic knees to feel stable and new. I need to do another 48hr dry fast to reset my hormones again.
My sleep schedule is upside down and I’m trying to reverse it on my own. I think it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I am used to waking up at night drinking coffee when most people are getting ready to go to bed. I do hit training or do a long distance run And then I’m going to eat my first meal sometime in the morning and I shower and go to sleep during the day. I typically do this while fasting around 16 hours. I feel fine living on the schedule. But I feel terrible when I try reversing my normal schedule by staying up during the day , I am too dizzy and lightheaded. Good workout in. Are used to fasting before working out and it’s so hard when I try to reverse my schedule. I worry that it’s dangerous. What I’m doing without doctor supervision. But of course I don’t have money to have a doctor monitor me. I wish there was a sleep study I could enroll in, or some kind of guidance how to completely reverse an upside down schedule safely.
@@najaahamari4199 i’d have to stay in bed while doing this. I normally fast around 16 hours a day every single day, but I wake up at night and I go to bed during the day. When I try and change my schedule by myself and stay up during the day it is much harder for me to fast I feel weak and tired and I don’t exercise like I normally would when I wake up at night it is the hardest thing I’ve ever done trying to reverse my sleep wake cycle . I wish there was a guide how to do it safely.
@@HH-gv8mx in what way doctors could help you ? The only way is stay awake longer during the day to accumulate tiredness. Just try few hours at a time. You can do it :)
Dr Huberman is using his position and knowledge in the best way possible - This is the kind of content the internet was created for. Real practical information with science based advice. Kudos to you sir!
Hey Andrew, I have a request for a new topic. If you would, could you look into Dyslexia and exactly it functions. I know a big part of it has to do with the distance of your synapses and how the brain is wired. I personally have it and it's been a wild ride learning about it. The newer knowledge and understanding we have is incredible and our schools are unbelievably unprepared for children born with this. I'm 38 years old and only just now able to look back and grasp my past because of how much I know about my present and its effects. My wife is a special education teacher and is pursuing Orton Gillingham training because it is currently the best methods for helping those with dyslexia. Anyways, I figured as a neuroscientist this might send you down an awesome rabbit hole! Hope to see this as a podcast one day. Thank you for everything you do.
@Dee Wilkerson yeah. High IQ is part of what defines dyslexia. We are typically over performing in several areas but significantly struggling with reading. Iv recently done a battery of tests for all of this and my spacial awareness , visual and verbal memory was maxed on the charts. Also, interesting side note, I believe one of the job recruitment websites now offers dyslexia as a searchable feature. More and more businesses are realizing that dyslexic employees over perform in the world of architecture and engineering. It's an amazing gift and adaptation to have, but the brain power required to read is staggering.
@@TeKStaTuS I’m so glad to make this connection. Our 33 year old daughter was diagnosed with dysgraphia by the same John Hopkins doctor. I was working for a medical practice in Baltimore 12 years ago and the lead doctor told me one day that he had dyslexia. I was amazed by that. He is a great surgeon and human being. He recommended the doctor at JH. Both my daughter and son started community college at 16. My son stopped after completing all the Cad and computer classes they offered. If only, schools were equipped to work with brilliant students. Just think how it would help advance so many areas. Thank you for any information. I will pass it on to him. He owns his own business after working a corporate job for 8 yrs.
Please, please do an interview on Eastern Medicine (TCM, specifically). I'm a doctoral researcher adjacent to that field and the connections between epigenetics, mitochondrial chemistry, metabolics, nutrition, etc. are phenomenal. The herbal chemistry and understanding of our connections to the earth, seasons, and circadian cycles is so in line with many of our new scientific knowledge. It is fascinating and should be better understood by all.
Yes！！ I traveled to Asia this year and found out most people, not only in China but also in Japan, trust TCM more than western medicine, they say it has no "secondary effects" and that it is effective. Now I've been trying to learn more, so a Huberman episode on this topic would be great!
As a mental health practitioner this podcast has given me more insight into how the brain and sleep effect trauma in real terms than anything else I have ever heard.. outstanding And thank you both.
WOW! I am so blessed to be listening and watching this video Dr Huberman, been watching for about a year. Making some real changes starting with quitting my anxiety meds and developing more natural healthier lifestyle. Esp. sleep habits. I love Dr Poe she's an angel. I realized the years I spent being an night owl are hurting me now. I also take care of my mom the past ten years, who has Alzheimer's. Real bummer. Its an honor to care for her we've gotten so close in the more recent month. And my dad has Asperges, he's high function and really helps mom a lot. Yeah, keep me in your prayers. thanks so much for letting me share.
All those guests which doing research about sleep impact to our daily basis has so calming voices, listening this pod you can fall asleap easily, just like I did with Matthew Walker's podcast.
I really loved this interview, Dr Gina Poe was wonderful. Would love a part 2 with her. Also interesting to hear more about the differences with women and sleep as it can be impacted by their ester cycle, menopause and PCOS.
I really appreciated that question (towards the end) on sleep and addiction. I’ve been trying to end an eating disorder (bulimia) and one of the hurdles I keep encountering is that if I don’t binge/purge I struggle to fall and stay asleep. This is giving me an added perspective on what the problem might be 🙏
Thank you Dr Huberman for all the amazing information you're sharing with the world. Can you please do an episode about Complex PTSD? That would help a lot of people
Hey Gina Poe you are so amazingly smart, and you are so passionate about sleep science 😴 Way cool 😎 to learn from you! Thank you Andrew for have such a great passionate scientist on your show! Thank you both for sharing your knowledge with the world 🌎
At 33:18 Dr. Huberman mentions how he’s a Dad, and it occurred to me with a smile that not only is he a brilliant scientist and podcaster, but an awesome Dad. Thanks for this great podcast btw! It’s like valuable information gold!
Andrew please do a episode/series on skin health specifically and best protocols for skin health and best forms of moisturisers etc for male/female would be greatly appreciated 🙌🏻
Phenomenal episode, Andy! Thank you for hosting Dr. Gina Poe. She was great to listen to, and the science she shared further cemented the reasons to stay commitment to a regular routine.
I have listened to every single podcast. I really enjoy your podcasts on sleep. I used to have difficulty with sleep and took supplements. Except for B-12 and D-3, I now take no supplements, not even for sleep. What helped me most was the information on exposure to the sun at dawn and at dusk. I now do this every day. I also go out wearing shorts mid-day to get some melatonin absorbed into my skin. My diet is plant-exclusive with no added salt, oil or sugars, including refined carbs. Also, I do not consume alcohol, tobacco or other substances. I think the clean diet (no processed food) along with the light exposure and regular movement/exercise has really helped my sleep and energy levels. I routinely wake before my alarm clock and am sometimes surprised by how much the amount of sleep I need appears to have reduced while my energy levels seem to have increased. I am in my late 40's, so I was surprised to see how much being in sync with the Circadian rhythms and light impacted my sleep quality and overall energy. (The other factors were already in place, so I do attribute the shift to synching with the circadian rhythms and to the consistent exposure to dawn/dusk light.) I liked that this show talked about lucid dreaming. I have had one lucid dream. I knew I was dreaming, and I wanted to get out/wake up. I didn't not like it. I am really not interested in having another one of those experiences. Would you do a show on the liver and the impact of processed foods and supplements on it? I think of Robert Lustig who has said, "protect the liver, feed the gut" and now have concerns about using supplements unnecessarily because of how they could potentially affect the liver and contribute to NAFLD.
I never get enough of learning about sleep! Lack of sleep is what led me to Huberman Lab in the first place. I very much enjoyed learning from Dr Poe! Also her hair is so cool!!!
Just when I thought I've heard everything we know about sleep, I am delighted and excited to learn more. Thanks so much to you and your team for putting out such interesting information on a weekly basis. Love my Mondays!
Just asking for clarification on the matter of regular sleep times and growth hormone release: Does going to sleep EARLIER than usual negatively impact this release in the same way, is it completely fine or something inbetween? Thanks for always putting the most valuable tools imaginable in our hands for free.
One never hear too often how important sleep is, meditation and mindfullness. Thank you for the gift. And thank you for the books list you passed on earlier on another episode. Those books are life changing and are giving me the education I was yearning for.
Really appreciated your carefully inserted PSA about bulldogs, their apnea and the genetic/health disadvantages we have bred into them. This appreciation is in addition to that which already exists for all of your content! Signed, a woeful bulldog-loving veterinarian
The information from the Huberman Lab podcasts is so incredibly useful and this specific one and especially the part about PTSD was mindblowing to me! Having worked as a physician (neurologist) with refugees of whom many suffer from PTSD, I feel like sending this to all my psychiatric colleagues and also psychotherapists I know (who can prescribe antidepressants in clinical settings under supervision in Germany)! It’s still so common practice to prescribe antidepressants for PTSD and we should rethink our treatment strategies asap! Thank you so much 🙏🏻!
It makes no sense to give anxious people antidepressants. They are merely soporific, at best. I'm still baffled that clinicians view anxiety and depression as comorbidities when they are neurologically and physiologically unrelated.
What an amazing interview with a beautiful and insightful human ♥️ Dr Poe is obviously highly intelligent and educated but has such a humble, calming presence. Great experience listening to this podcast, thank you ⚘️
Another great episode, and Dr. Gina Poe is just such a pleasure to listen to - I love her inflection and the way she passes information, it's clear her heart is in her work! As a lifelong terrible sleeper, it's really fascinating to hear the ins and outs of what happens during sleep, what crucial elements there are to sleep and patterns, and to bring in so many other tidbits that you talk about in other podcasts! This may get lost in the comments (and even in this lengthy comment), but I have been diving into epigenetics and genetic predisposition and would love an episode about that.
The quality of this YT channel is absolutely unparalleled. I've been using RU-vid as the main source of information for many years but never has there been anything so high quality as this channel. It's impossible to express in words how much this has helped me and and everyone else. I hope that this channel will be around for as long as possible to keep providing us with the tools to help us make the best decisions.
The information regarding PTSD and sleep has really given me some insight as to why my wife has trouble sleeping. I greatly appreciate you and Gina for this podcast.
This was one of the best episodes so far. Absolutely fascinating the whole way through. Never heard anyone explain the mechanisms present in trauma so well. Thank you Dr. Gina Poe!
YESSS. And the time change still affects us on top of that two months later. Horrible. Both kids are sick now and forced to go until they have fevers otherwise we the parents get in trouble with the school district even if they have doctors notes after so many they question your parenting. It’s insane.
Dr. Huberman! You are a treasure! I have been watching/listening to you for a few months and have learned so much! I know that you don' expect it but I paid for a premium subscription for the year as a way to support your important work and to thank you!
@@hubermanlab the people your helping the most probably don't even comment, I have been to several doctors and been on different medication and still not got a diagnosis for anything. Ive been watching you for around 6 months now and I'm slowly putting all the pieces together and feel better than I ever have about my metal health/well-being..Thankyou so much for sharing your knowledge in such a clear and factual way. Please carry on for along as possible because nobody else is doing it like this.
I’d love to hear more about antidepressants seeing how common they are becoming with my generation. With the rise of anxiety and depression as well would we can do to lower the effects of these conditions and how maybe to substitute for the medication
Andrew, please can we continue to number each podcast for citation purposes. The wealth of information and its effect in my personal life has been amazing and I love referencing your episodes in my writing. Thanks
Absolutely one of the best guests you’ve had. An expert who could really hone in on the most clinically salient applications of an otherwise dense topic. Love to hear from women scientists, Dr. Huberman 👍👍
Sleep is the Foundation of HIgh-Performance and our overall well-being. Take this information into your everyday practice to enhance learning, Focus and state management! Another fantastic Episode! 🎧
Thanks for this doing this podcast. If you have Dr. Poe return to the podcast I would love to hear from her about how persons (such as myself) who are suffering from PTSD can utilise sleep to overcome it or how to improve sleep while suffering PTSD. Thanks again, Dr. Huberman!
Start with guided meditations or even just background sounds of rain or waves- whatever you find relaxing. I started 4yrs ago with that as I was sleeping 3 to 4 hrs a night.....tell yourself that you are safe (if you are ofc)..you can retrain your brain. I now play a rain sounds meditation and I'm asleep in less than 5 minutes and now avg 6 hours a night of sleep.
This is extremely insightful and now makes me want to hear about the correlation between sleep and spirituality. Because there are a number of people that have dreams and such events then happen in real life. Anyway, this episode has nudged me to now hold my sleep more sacred and just value it. Thank you Dr. Huberman and Dr. Joe. You guys rock!
Thank you Dr. Andrew Huberman and Dr. Gina Poe on this topic of "Sleep" and the importance of it. I really learn a lot; it's something so simple but complex at the same time. What a great podcast program you offer to the general public Dr. Huberman! Education and knowledge is power!! Thank you!
I love your videos Prof . I Hope someday you will dedicate an episode on subliminal messages, isochronic tones and binaural beats with your valued expertise on neuroscience.
I LOVED this interview, really beautiful work and fascinating work. I think I smiled more listening/watching this one than any other. Really delightful.
Caveat to teenage sleep. I’m in my 20s and I have sleep apnea. I believe i had it in my teenage years as well. Please make sure your sleep feels restful otherwise there may be an issue.
So much great information! I would love to hear your take on managing stress in the academic/learning environment - so many of my students are overwhelmed and stressed with the pressure they put on themselves, it seems to really impact their learning. It would be a fantastic resource to direct my students to (adult learner at the college/university level).
Thank you so much for all your incredibly enlightening podcasts, Dr. Huberman! I was so glad to see Dr. Poe as one of your guests. I especially appreciated her sharing about transcendental meditation and prayer as a way to help clear the mind.
I keep coming back to this particular practice when I’m off yoga for a bit and I want to gently get back in. Thank you so much for this gentle guidance 🙏
Recently discovered this channel and I’m absolutely hooked! Always such interesting topics! Thank you for helping and educating so many people. I love science 🤓
Such a great episode! Thank you again! You guys came really close to it, but I would love to hear what Gina (and also Andrew) has to say about sleep paralysis.
Great podcast. Only issue I have is saying if someone sleeps a lot or “oversleeps” they could have cancer is a bit much. Shouldn’t scare people like that.
Would have been different if she listed a lot of things, and cancer just happened to be somewhere in the list. But her just blurting that out as the first thing is extremely irresponsible.
I would love to hear an episode on learning disabilities, specifically dyslexia. I myself am dyslexic and I have read that roughly 20-30% of the population is thought to be dyslexic. I think it would be great to learn more about this and the many advantages that dyslexic people have based on the wiring of their brains. Anyways, I have been a huge fan of your podcast for 6MO and share it with many friends. Thanks for the science and data based information on various topics!
I heard that around 10-15% of the population has ADHD too. I wonder if there are evolutionary reasons for both ADHD and dyslexia, among other "disorders" which aren't coveted in the modern world?
Just caught this episode with Dr. Poe. Terrific! My wife and I are in our middle sixties. Several comments in the podcasts triggered our desire to learn more about brain function during sleep for older adults. Like many boring boomers (my wife and I qualify) we now have the time to focus on becoming physically, mentally and spiritually healthier. We have come to understand how important sleep is for our health. We certainly can't be alone in this interest.
Wonderful podcast! Fascinating. Unless I misunderstood, Dr Poe said that as we age, the non-REM deep sleep diminishes and even disappears. I’m wondering if she’s referring to those in their 60’s and beyond, or if it’s a gradual process that starts earlier (eg middle age)? I wonder if a podcast could address typical seniors’ issues with sleep and possible mitigation/adaptations to enhance optimal sleep for general health/cognition specific to that age group.
So Grateful for your hosting Dr.Gina Poe. Absolutely fascinating and the manner in which she delivers her intellect allowed the layman to understand. Thank you Andrew, you are helping so many.. I understand now why my own sleep was so disturbed.
Hi Dr. Huberman, the red pill you took for sleeping should be made of Spine Date Seed/Sour jujube seed/Suan Zao Ren, which is a seed from a type of small and sour date and people in China use it for sleep. It is herb based, all natural, and very effective. Hope it helps!
This is probably the best podcast I’ve ever listened to on sleep. I hope she writes a book to expand on those topics especially on spindles on learning and memories
Really appreciate your hardwork.Andrew could you do a podcast on sleepwalking.I would be immensely grateful if you could touch upon the causes of it and if there's a way to cure it without medicinal intervention.
Could you do a video on natural and synthetic NMDA antagonists and how they can help with certain conditions? Ketamine, Memantine, Amantadine, Agmatine, Magnesium and Zinc come to mind! Thank you.
Andrew, another fascinating podcast idea for one day...what does research on endurance athletes tell us? For example, are marathon runners healthy or is that amount of chronic exercise bad for the human body?
I used conscious dreaming as the doctor described for trauma! And to celebrate in the dream I leapt up and backstroked away from the vanquished trauma. It has become a symbol of positive resolution of something when I remember joyous backstroking from my dreams.
What a wonderful interview! Professor Poe explains complicated info in a very clear and delightful way. If you have her on again, I’d love to hear more about the locus ceruleas, and in particular, why people who are dealing with adrenal insufficiency and therefore are dependent on exogenous corticosteroids so frequently struggle with sleep problems.
Dear Andrew & Gina: thank you so much for this great episode! I learned lot just from the first couple if minutes listening. I have been following the Huberman Lab Podcast since the first day and it has changed may life as I was able to implement so many tools which Andrew has recommended to us over the last years. Sleep is one of my top priorities and I have tried the supplements recommended which help me to fall asleep faster and to have better sleep cycles. So here comes my question: I sometimes am half awake before my alarm but too lazy to get up or sometimes it is a bit too early but I am unable to fall back asleep. Is it recommended to then get up rather than lying around in this state of „half awake“?
