Knowing what side is right or left

Are there any neurological reasons why some people cannot at once tell which side is right and which is left? In my case I simply don't know intuitively - I have to think and deduce side basing on things I usually do with right or left hand (what's more funny I only know this is right or left hand because I learned before that I do this things only with this hand :))

TMS Coil and Restless Leg Syndrome

Is there anyone doing research using TMS Coil technology for RLS?

Exercise benefits are damped by cold exposure, but what if combined with sauna?

You have spoken to great length about avoiding cold exposure after exercise to harvest the adaptation benefits. I fail to remember if you have spoken about how these exercise adaptions are amplified/damped in context to the combination of cold exposure AND sauna. From what you've said about sauna alone, I would always assume that going to sauna after exercise can only speed up the recovery (not sure if it amplifies the degree of physical/neural adaptation) PS: I am not sure if you truly appreciate how much good you do in this world for mental health

Compression socks and tights

What does the scientific literature say about compression socks and tights? Can they really boost athletic performance and recovery time? Are they indeed helpful for circulation. Can they be helpful for people with varicose or spider veins?

Is it good to use stimulants as short-term reinforcement when establishing habits?

Say I want to establish a habit of going to the gym right after waking up every day. Is it worth taking stimulants (such as preworkout) in order to reinforce that behavior, say every day for the first 30 days?
