Colder is better. In the summer, my room is around 65-66°F (under covers and a weighted blanket of course), and in the winter, it's basically as cold as it can reasonably get, around 55-58°F or even lower. Anything above 70 even in the dead heat of summer is too hot and stuffy. It does need context that I sleep with multiple layers and a weighted blanket, so I need it that cold to not wake up sweating, but all that weight is key for a comfortable sleep. Fan, A/C fan, and no heat is coming in.

Yo mitch, regarding the THC thing: I've been a user almost every night for the past 5 years and whilst it absolutely does help you get to sleep in the short term, it also has its drawbacks. You get less REM sleep when you're high with your ability to dream greatly diminished (dreams are important) and you become dependent on THC to be able to sleep at all after a while

@@xxx0ox0 Dreaming is not important per se, many people forget their dreams when they wake up or don't dream at all. What is important is REM or deep sleep, when most dreaming happens. Mind and body recovers during this phase and short term memories are "transferred" to long term memory. THC use can disrupt REM sleep phase.

I was addicted to THC for 12 years, and now that I've been off it for about 5 months, I noticed that I've been dreaming every night. When I was high, I NEVER dreamed. Maybe 5-10 dreams in those 12 years. I don't know why, but it tells me that it does have an effect on your REM cycle. It might help you zonk out, but it may also have a detrimental effect on your quality of sleep. Same goes for caffeine; lots of us are able to fall asleep after drinking coffee, but the quality diminishes because of the altered brain chemistry.

Ashley is an amazing human. Good on ya for all the work you do.

Just wanted to say you’re doing a great job with this content. Keep up the great work 👏

Highly recommend all forms of content on sleep from Matthew Walker (Sleep Diplomat). Interestingly, he recommends against THC/CBD for optimizing sleep for various reasons even though people report shorter sleep onset time. Also, most research points to cold exposure being best done in the morning and heat exposure best before bed. A warm shower actually lowers core body temp, which is what you want before sleep. Completely agree sleep is #1 and thank you Ashley!!!

I think it is about time that blinders reach the Americas. So many people come to Spain and they are amazed at such a simple thing that helps so much.

As someone who suffers from Insomia, sleep is incredibly important. For the first 25 years of my life I was running on 3-5 hours of sleep a night. Couldn't function. Medication helps me sleep solid 7-8 hours now and I can absolutely go hard at the gym and just enjoy life in general a lot more.

Blue light can be good from morning until just before sunset. It helps the clock stay centered on cycle. Early evening at home is effectively lit by low yield yellow orange and red lights placed on low tables or near the floor. It harmonizes with the sun going down, again keeping the clock in sync. It feels good, too.

This was super interesting

I'm 100% on sleep. I'll add that was the first indicator that I had a change in my overall health. When I routinely struggled to sleep through the night after a long history of sleeping well I went and got my bloodwork and identified that something had changed in my health. You can't get that initial indicator if you don't have good sleep to begin with.

Ashley is the queen!!!

Thanks Ashley! Mitch, I found THC to initially help my sleep but long term use seemed to lead to limited dreaming for me. That started to bother me and when I take a break, the dreams that come back are wildly vivid.

ty Ashley 🙏

thank you Ashley for help Mitch be the best he can be. if you look at most of what you said it explains why I sleep like the dead when i go camping in the mountains (the rockys in Alberta) cool, dark, a little natural back ground noise and fresh air

Thank you Ashly!! Not for letting Michel sleep. For letting him to the you tub videos 😜

Great video! Also getting some direct sunlight onto your skin and eyes for a while every morning is very important too as it helps regulate your day/night rhythms. And obviously the right mattress is a given, personally i need a firm surface to get the best nights sleep.

I was suffering with low testosterone (I'm 44). I started carnivore, took zinc supplements, got my sleep analyzed and got back into weight training. I found I had sleep apnea and was having waking episodes without realizing it which was causing me to have very little restful sleep. I got a CPAP and once I had diet, supplementation, training and sleep on point, my testosterone increased significantly. I also started supplementing with melatonin which has further increased the quality of my rest. I am on the higher range for testosterone now when previously I was recommended TRT.

I experimented with the room temperature for sleeping this past winter in Scotland. I had my room heater turned completely off and bedroom window opened slightly, every single day. I used a sleeping bag + summer/winter/both duvets depending on how cold the air temperature was that night. One night it got down to -5Celcius outside, still with heaters off and window open I slept like it was a dry run for death. The colder the room the better for me.

Thought it would be number one! Still got a lot from the video though and entertaining as always :-)

Congrats on your Baby ! 🎉

Sleep Nutrition Programming At the end of the day, it’s always the basics.

Taping my mouth shut for sleep has improved my sleep a lot. Something I'd previously never thought about. Mark Bell was the one I learned that trick from.

Thank you for mentioning Night Shift! My schedule of sleep is way different now and i forgot to adjust the timing of that like i had it before (pre-sleep by 2hrs)

Very interesting and would agree that sleep is super important. I started shift work in my mid thirties after never working nights before hand and it is pretty crazy the difference it makes. Im not an athletic competitor at all but do enjoy getting in the gym and lifting. It is pretty unreal the difference a lack of quality sleep can make.

Something I would like to give as "warning" to some folks. I have not smoked dope since the 70s but back then I could not fall asleep at ALL if I was the least bit high. I knew several people like that including a truck driver who would occasionally take a hit to stay awake on long trips. Also I had heard lower temps than mentioned for optimal sleeping.. I keep mine at 65 F

Andrew Huberman is doing a guest series talking about sleep with Dr. Matthew Walker at the moment. They draw the same conclusions except for the THC. THC effects the REM stage which reduces sleep quality.

Great tips! I would also add going to sleep at roughly same time every night also helps a lot. THC is a sedative, similar to alcohol. It helps you fall asleep faster, but that doesn't mean that it's high quality sleep. There is plenty of evidence that THC impacts sleep and specifically REM sleep negatively.

I stopped sleeping under a quilt years ago. I now use blankets, so much easier to regulate heat.

As always Mitch, GREAT insights and learning experiences! First is to thank Ashley for being down the road to be the best version of yourself. Second, felt bad for some to put you names when you are so nice and have an admirable philosophy of life to not just be great at what you do but help others as well. The way I see it is very easy to hide behind the internet to make feel feel bad. Glad you don't pay attention tothat.. Now, if I may and from personal experience, I'd like to add to your great efforts to provide this information that I am used to workout in the evenings (6-7PM, 5-6 times week) and obviously the amount of water, probably BCAA as well, protein shakes (water or milk) makes a big difference in your quality of sleep because you have to wake up and pee way more that you do it in the morning....at least 5 times!. I found that for me it works a lot better in terms of performance, strength and conditioning to do it at this time of the day. So it is not in my plans to change it :) BUT this is definitely a negative factor when it comes to quality of sleep because if I do it in the morning, obviously I don't wake up that much. Also and wasn't mentioned in your video, to me it's been great the use of melatonin instead of taking sleeping pills. Helps me to in 1/2 hr -1hr to feel sleep and go deeper while I am sleep. So I think it is great, I believe it is a supplement and not harmful. I should also say that before my workout, I usually take a nap that helps me to be at my best most of the times. Thanks Mitch for being such a great guy...wishing some day to shake hands with you :)!

Worth noting that even without the blue light phones still produce light and thus work against the dark room requirement. It has been years since i took cognitive psych and i dont remember the exact cerebral mechanisms but i remember any light from any source triggers the brain to assume it is daytime and forcibly adjusts your brain chemistry in a way that encourages wakefulness. And phones are doubly bad for sleep because in addition to generating light simply by being on they're also stimulating your brain through whatever you're actually doing with the phone.
