Tips to improve REM specifically
I am interested in improving my REM sleep specifically. My sleep at the first half of the night is always good, the second half of the night is however hit or miss. Any techniques to address that? I have used Reveri at times, but have not incorporated it as an everyday practice. Would this improve its efficacy in improving REM sleep?
Pros & Cons of Daily Caffeine Consumption
Hello Dr. Huberman. I am unable to determine if caffeine consumption is having a net positive impact on my life. I understand the benefits (increased dopamine receptor density, increased alertness, etc...) but after a few weeks of consumption, the negatives start to outweigh the positive ones (poor quality sleep, lack of appetite, anxiety, etc...). When I don't consume caffeine, I find it a lot easier to be mindful and my meditation practice is much better, but I am lethargic and less motivated. For years I have been "on and off" caffeine and I can't determine which is better. What is your opinion on the net benefit of daily caffeine consumption and how can someone determine if daily caffeine consumption is right for them?
