The One Rule for Optimising Sleep That Applies to Everyone
Neuroscientist Andrew Huberman swears by it.
Experts say most of the advice on the Internet on areas like nutrition and exercise is useless.

Andrew Huberman, neuroscientist and professor at Stanford School of Medicine, devotes the entire episode 2 of his popular podcast talking about this one piece of advice. He also mentions it in every interview I’ve heard him on, from the Tim Ferriss Show to My First Million.
