Sleep and NMN
Hey Dr.H Curious to understand dosage timings for NMN, Alpha GPC and NR. For example, taking Alpha GPC, NMN, Rhodolia 5x/week in the AM (0600) works great for focus at the gym. I am cautious to take additional in the afternoon in case it keeps me up at night . Has there been any evidence to suggest this is true? Thanks
The scent of stress.
I've noticed that my body emits a distinct odor when stressed. Further, depending on the type of stress, it can be different. For example, what I consider to be very bad stress, like being overworked and sleep deprived, has a distinct scent. Other "better" types of stress, such as backcountry camping with high physical output in harsh conditions, also have a distinct scent, different from normal sweating. The scent produces by "better" stress seem to smell more pleasant and sweeter to me, although this is anecdotal. What are the underlying mechanisms behind the different types of odor, and also if possible please speak to my own perception of them.
Sauna breathold euphoria
Took about a 9-10 week break from regular sauna sessions; this is my second time, with the last one being 2 days ago. I did the following: dry sauna at around 85°C for 23 minutes before holding my breath and counting heartbeats. Felt the pulse fluctuate from high to low and then high again. Experienced a euphoric/internal glow sensation after around 80 heartbeats. Lasted for about 30-60 seconds after exhaling, resumed normal breathing at around 100 heartbeats. Is it dangerous? What's happening? Huge fan, thank you so much Fredrik
