Sleep Hacks

I discovered that Phenibut is not just a relaxing hangover-free alternative to booze, it can also be something of a relationship Biohack.

A lot of guys, when dealing with an upset woman bring a knife to a pillow fight, by bombarding their woman with logic when she really just needs a little emotional validation. Thus, I discontinued the conversation about social media and was non-reactive to the air of the awkwardness that swept into our little hotel room by the sea. I did a few things on my computer for a few minutes and then I took the advice of pickup guru extraordinaire RSD Max, I held my girl, kissed her passionately, and whispered a few sweet nothings in her ears.

Biohacker Review: The pure pleasure of pooping compels me!

I have to admit to an odd morning custom that Mrs. Roseland and I have, in the midmorning we chit-chat (for just a little) about our morning movements in the bathroom. And consistently our pooping is pleasantly emptying thanks to the magnesium we took the previous evening. It's become one supplement that we won't go without!

Many Biohackers report a range of experiential benefits from Magnesium like relaxation, better sleep, and brainpower but for me, it mostly just helps in the digestion department, so let's look at the recent science done on Magnesium...

Lifehacker Review: A sleep quantification tool and precision alarm clock

An app that turns your phone into a surprisingly effective sleep optimization device.

I'm a little late to the sleep-hacking party. For some reason, I was a little reluctant to start quantifying my sleep. However, I kept hearing about the sleep cycle app from people like Dave Asprey and Pat Flynn. I finally paid the $2 and downloaded it. I'm glad I tried it! It does improve your sleep. I'm a person that's always kind of had issues with waking up on time. I would just hit the snooze button chronically, this has caused me to fail some classes and lose some jobs.

Stacking sleep supplements and “sleep tech” for serious slumber

As Biohackers, we are perpetually on the hunt for the "thrust" -- that elusive, boundless well of energy and motivation required to kick ass through the day. We obsess over stimulatory molecules, the latest Racetams, and those "limitless" compounds that promise to keep our cognitive engines revving. But any seasoned practitioner of the art of human optimization knows that this high-octane lifestyle requires a counterbalance.

If you aren't prioritizing the quality of your downtime, you are effectively redlining your engine without ever changing the oil. I’ve recently been experimenting with a specific stack of anxiolytic sleep supplements and biohacking tech that has resulted in some seriously solid, restorative slumber. It’s time we acknowledge a fundamental truth often ignored by the "hustle culture" mainstream: Sleep is, in itself, a potent Nootropic.

This is going to be a little bit different than all these pieces of content about sleep hacking - the supplements, the sleep masks, the orange sunglasses, and the self-quantification apps. In this article, I'll address a common sleep issue that people report - which is that they can't get to sleep because they have all these thoughts running through their heads.

I've had a lively mind and an overactive imagination for as long as I can remember; which has led me to lead a life of adventure and novelty-seeking...

Book Review: The Lowest-Hanging Longevity Fruit

Modernity conspires, in ways subtle and not-so-subtle to deprive you of the sleep you desperately need. Taking back the sleep you deserve is (perhaps) the most multiplicative of factors impacting your health, strength of mind, and ultimately longevity.

In this podcast, I thrust a phallus of fascinating factoids from "Why We Sleep" by Matthew Walker and break down the pragmatic takeaways from this book which is more for sleep scientists than sleep hackers.
