Bryan Johnson argues that lowering your resting heart rate before bed triggers better sleep, which then drives exercise and healthy eating. His checklist: no caffeine after midday, finish eating four hours before bed, screens off an hour before sleep, then read, walk, meditate, and use warm lighting.
Hey, friends, it's me again. The healthiest unk in the Milky Way. Want to see something cool? This was my resting heart rate last night. You're probably saying, damn monk. How do I get my resting heart rate that low? Let's discuss Rip Pan. This is normally the part of the video where I yell and try to throw some Santa to you. Not today, friends. Just look at what all that yelling did to my resting heart rate. Wow. 77 beats per minute. Outrageous. Slow pan. Lowering your resting heart rate before bed is the single most effective thing you can do for your health. When your resting heart rate is low, you sleep well. When you sleep well, you're more likely to exercise and eat well. When you exercise and eat well, you're more likely to do other positive things for your health. Now let me teach you how to lower your resting heart rate. Cut the caffeine. Stop intake around midday. Eat your final meal of the day at least four hours before bed. Turn off all screens at least one hour before bed. Read a book. Go for a walk. Meditate. Use warm light. Avoid blue light because it raises your cortisol and resting heart rate. Finally, no fights after 5pm Save those for the morning when you're well rested. There you have it, friends. Try this out and let me know how you do in the comments. Now go lower your heart rate.
