Overview
Learn to optimize your sleep like a professional biohacker. This guide covers sleep hygiene protocols, supplements, temperature control, and light exposure strategies.
Sleep is the foundation of all health optimization. The most successful biohackers prioritize sleep above any supplement or protocol. The science is clear: 7-9 hours of quality sleep directly impacts cognition, body composition, immune function, and longevity.
Room temperature is one of the most underrated factors in sleep quality. Research shows that sleeping in a cool environment (65-67°F / 18-19°C) can improve deep sleep time by up to 30%. Combine this with morning light exposure protocols and evening blue light restriction to synchronize your circadian rhythm.
Sleep supplements should be used as support, not as the primary solution. Magnesium glycinate (400mg), L-theanine (200mg), and glycine (3g) are the most evidence-backed options. Melatonin should be used in low doses (0.3-0.5mg) and primarily for jet lag or circadian adjustments.
