Andrew Huberman

Here is his Wikipedia.

I feel being inspired by Huberman is almost cliche at this point. Everybody interested in neuroscience has either listened to his podcast or knows who he is, and for good reason, he knows his stuff. Plus, he is the best fit for this headline regarding this week’s post.

Here is a link to Huberman’s sleep tool kit. You will probably notice a correlation between Dr. Hubermans tool kit and my own, and that is because there is. I took a lot of inspiration from Huberman in fixing my sleep.

That said, Huberman’s knowledge expands sleep science. Here is an episode on how to use failure to enhance cognitive learning.

After listening to this episode, I started implementing a strategy discussed before entering a learning bout. Huberman acknowledged how repetitive failure enhances focus. He used the example of practicing free throws and missing consecutively. I tried this in a different form. I have the privilege of having a piano in my room, so, on occasion, immediately before entering a period of cognition, I would attempt to play a piece of music that I found difficult over and over, raising my level of focus throughout the process.
