Gary Brecka argues sleep is the foundation of everything else. Lack of sleep makes you emotionally reactive and impairs decision-making. His prescription: 7-8 hours, screens off an hour before bed, no food 2-3 hours before sleep, and magnesium glycinate to deepen it.
Sleep deprived individuals also become more emotionally reactive and less able to make rational decisions. 2 massive liabilities for performance. Here's the prescription. Aim for 7 to 8 hours of sleep. Shut down screens an hour before bed. Stop eating 2 to 3 hours before sleep to allow your body to wind down and digest. Use magnesium glycinate or glycine to support deep, restorative sleep. If you're not prioritizing sleep, nothing we talk about today will even matter. It's the foundation for all biological optimization. Most people wake up and reach for the coffee before they do anything else. Big mistake. You're waking up dehydrated, and the caffeine, which is a diuretic, is only making things worse.
