A great way to increase the amount of slow-wave deep sleep (and the associated growth hormone release) in the first hours of sleep is to take a hot shower or bath one hour before going to bed. Afterward, rinse off in temperature-neutral water—not hot, not cold, just neutral. This drives your core body temperature down faster and further, making it easier to fall and stay asleep. Not eating in the two hours prior to sleep will synergize with this as well.

I’ve been doing this for the past month or so and am seeing dramatic increases in the amount of deep, slow-wave sleep I get. Also, heating your sleeping environment in the final two to three hours before waking can lead to dramatic increases in REM sleep. Learned that one from Dr. Matt Walker. Works exceptionally well! Two to 2.5 hours of REM is not uncommon now. Thank you, Matt!

Beware of things that frictionlessly capture your attention. There’s no learning there. At least not the kind you want. It teaches your attention to be a prey animal. Engaging in physical, intellectual, artistic or entrepreneurial pursuits is how you actually rewire for the better.

Of course, it’s important to get enough sleep and to relax regularly, too. Not everything has to be about work, but don’t squander your most valuable resource: your attention.

If you’ve ever had a completely bonkers schedule, then finally got a break and got sick after a few days of rest, congratulations: you learned that cortisol enhances immune system function in the short term. Taper (!) from intense to vacation and keep your mornings active.

In fact, as long as you’re sleeping at night, it’s remarkable how much intense activity we can tolerate in a healthy way.

Question for you. When you have to do 1-3 hours of focused work, do you place your phone:

1. Next to you & on
2. In a drawer, bag, etc
3. In a different room
4. Next to you & off
