Sleep When Sick

I'm fighting off a cold at the moment and spent three hours in the afternoon (2pm-5pm) sleeping. Was that a good idea in terms of getting healthy again, or should I have restrained myself from sleeping after 3pm despite feeling exhausted from being sick? Thanks for answering! :)

Covid and Vision Problems?

Hi Andrew! Wondering if there is any data on Covid causing vision problem? The day I got Covid (back in January) my one telltale symptom was that I couldn’t focus my eyes on moving vehicles in front of me while driving, and my depth perception was way off. The issue persisted and was pronounced for 3 months, and has since improved slightly. I did just have my eyes checked yesterday and while they are healthy, my prescription changed by a full point in each eye which is strange for my age/ in general according to my optometrist. So just curious if you have come across any similar cases and if there’s a way to regain or strengthen one’s vision following an event like Covid. Thank you for all that you do and for offering us devotees a place to ask (/harass) you with our personal questions!

The flip-side of addiction, Dr. Carl Hart

Happy Friday! When I was a kid I took codeine for migraines and didn't like the way it made me feel, so I never experimented with drugs like my friends did. After surgery, I took one vicodin proactively to prevent pain during sleep. While it made me feel great, very positive, I felt that I was on top of the world, I never took another. When I heard that alcohol was actually a poison, I cut back to virtually no alcohol immediately and I fully enjoyed getting drunk. I truly believe that I could try heroin once and never use it again. Therefore, I think it would be interesting to hear you discuss this side of addiction, that it is not what people think it is, with Dr. Carl Hart (https://drcarlhart.com/).

What supplements do you take

What supplements do you take them?When do you take them and why? I have have seen you mention several supplements you take across many podcasts, but have never seen it compiled in one place. Aside from being a smart guy, you have the benefit of access to some of the smartest people in the world regarding supplementation and I think this would be a useful topic.
