Summary
In this Episode of The Human Upgrade™...
… Dave talks with George Hanna about how to get better deep sleep.
George says he’s been a health and fitness buff for most of his life. Now in his early 60’s, he’s adopted much of the biohacking lifestyle, including sleep hacks. Yet, deep sleep continues to elude him. He and Dave get into factors that could be messing with his circadian rhythm, like temperature, light, overtraining, heart rate variability, glucose monitoring, blood sugar and more. They also go over potential tweaks to:
- Mushrooms
- Herbs
- Amino Acids
- Testosterone
- Supplements
- Thyroid
- Statins
If you struggle with sleep or simply want to learn to fine-tune the sleep you’re getting, take a listen to this episode for tips and resources.
