At the beginning of the year I started going for 30-40 minute walks every morning in the nearby forest and fields. Have kept it up mostly throughout the year. It is absolutely fantastic - I get plenty of light, I get exercise, I kickstart my metabolism, it wakes me up, and I feel like I have a more consistent energy throughout the day. It has reduced post-lunch slumps massively. It's like a biohack for modern life.

As a Norwegian I wake up in darkness, go to work in darkness, and go home from work in darkness lol

I wake up with anxiety. I started going outside and sitting in the sun a few months ago. I see the light, hear the birds, and feel so much better all day. I highly recommend getting outside early for anxiety relief. I also sleep better.

On the occasion of Teacher's Day here in India, I wish a life-changing teacher like you goes on educating and making thousands of lives a lot better. You inspire me to study hard for a good life. I'm in 9th grade now. Happy Teacher's Day Sir - 5-9-2023.

You have helped me so much you can't even imagine. My circadian rhythm was so bad that i could say that i had the worst sleep cycle in all of the human beings i have ever encountered. And these steps have really helped me, now i sleep at 12am and wake up at 8am . I needed this information for the past decade but i am so grateful that i got em now .

Several years ago, during the summer time, I started waking up at 5am to walk my dog. I have never felt so good in my entire life and didn’t even realize it was due to getting outside to walk so early. I felt happier and had a ton of energy. I couldn’t wait to wake up every morning! I can definitely tell a huge difference now it’s winter, so cold early on and many times just too icy to walk far.

This practice has had such a huge impact on my quality of life, it's hard to believe. For decades I have struggled to fall asleep and then struggled to wake up, hitting snooze until the absolute last minute and starting my day in misery. Now I actually get sleepy at night and I naturally wake up an hour and a half earlier than I need to and I love it. Thank you so much for sharing this!

I have had difficulty falling asleep and getting up in the morning for years. I have been following Dr. Huberman's advice, and I am thrilled with the results. I actually enjoy mornings now!

Clear day = 5 mins Cloudy = 10 mins Overcast / Rainy = 20/30 mins DO NOT try to get it through window or windshield!

I absolutely love your shorter videos! The longer ones a great too but my attention span doesn't last as long or I just get overwhelmed with the amount of information. These short ones go perfectly with my morning coffee! Thank you!

I have fixed my sleep schedule for the first time since I was a kid thanks to this tip. I am less depressed and I got energy to do exercise now. My mental health is improving drastically thanks to this podcast.

I start my coffee, make my bed up, and grab my cup of coffee, and watch the sun come up 75% of the time. Stay and pray 10-15 minutes. Afterwards, the sun comes through the big picture window. I keep the door open and the screen closed. Then I start my bible study. At this time in Spring, by 6:30 I start my day. I did not know it benefit me at this level. Thank you Andrew for sharing.

Love these clips. When I don't have time for a full podcast episode. Perfect.

Super-awesome idea to have this separate channel. Thank you so much for all the value you add to our lives Dr. Huberman.

The morning activity he shared is such a simple yet powerful way to boost energy levels and improve sleep quality. I've struggled with feeling groggy in the mornings and restless sleep, but after trying this activity, I've noticed a significant positive difference. Dr. Huberman's scientific explanations behind the technique make it even more convincing and motivating to incorporate it into my daily routine. Thank you for sharing this valuable information! Can't wait to see the long-term benefits of this morning practice.

This man has taught me so much. I really appreciate Andrew teaching us all for free.

Great information! I usually wake up before the sun is up, so it's good to know that I can use the lights in my home to wake myself up a little bit until the sun comes up.

You're truly improving lives. Thank you!
