Below s a text I received from a reader on the topic of sleep. He is an inspiring retired physician who has been a great mentor since I was a first year medical student. (Stay tuned on how he inspired my views on pharmaceuticals advertising/rep influence on physician drug prescribing in future posts).

He says to "use bedroom only for sleep or sex. No TV, books, computers or cellphones in bedroom. Go to bed only when you’re sleepy. If you don’t fall asleep in 10-15 minutes, leave bedroom and sit in a minimally lighted room, do something relaxing until you’re sleepy again, then return to bed. Tossing and turning is unhelpful."

Thanks Dr. Sierles!

Huberman is a sage, and humble too. Love his podcast and all of the knowledge shared. Thanks for the other tips about sanctuary. I can be mindful of my flow states too when they are happening, and appreciate them after the fact.

Thanks Chris! Yes, Huberman podcasts are incredible. I love that they have timestamps so you can go to the parts that interest you if you don't have time for the whole thing. They can be very scientific in some parts (which i love) but also very accessible for the public. I am a big fan and will be weaving his insights throughout. Re flow states, tell us more about yours or what you know about it! A few readers are already asking for more info on this topic so I will share on later posts but want to hear others experience.
