0:00.0 | Welcome to the Huberman Lab Podcast, where we discuss science and science-based tools for everyday life. |
0:06.0 | I'm Andrew Huberman and I'm a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine. |
0:15.1 | Today I have the pleasure of introducing Dr Matthew Walker as our guest on the |
