Andrew Huberman and Matt Walker are both scientists and podcasters.<\/p>\n

When they get together<\/a> they like to talk sleep.<\/p>\n

If you don’t think you have a spare 15 hours to watch all those conversations, you might get some sleep improving wisdom from recent Huberman Neural Network Newsletters.<\/p>\n

I’ve packaged them up as a PDF<\/a> for easy access.<\/p>\n

I consider sleep (alongside movement and nutrition) as core contributors to physical and mental health (and in turn, academic success).<\/p>\n

Now does that mean if you improve your sleep, that you’ll become a study ninja?<\/p>\n

To be honest, I haven’t seen really strong evidence to suggest that is the case. But interventions to improve sleep (e.g. light and dark, temperature, food and meal timing, caffeine intake, routines, sleep hygiene<\/a>) are basically free.<\/p>\n

And if you are falling short of the recommended 7-9 hours per night, or your sleep quality is poor, experimenting to see if improving your sleep could improve your health and wellbeing seems like a no-brainer.<\/p>\n

For me, simple interventions to improve my sleep (early morning light exposure and physical activity, wind-down evening routine) have improved my mood and energy levels. So I guess I am a convert (or particularly susceptible to placebos) \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n
