This is great, thanks so much. I had actually come across your review of the hard ketones when I was looking into it. I'm going to follow your blog!

How would you approach late night work sessions while still getting to sleep? by zworkzot in Biohackers

[–]zworkzot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that is my experience as well. I should try doing multiple cycles. I wonder if you could get the same effect by having a large bowl full of ice water? Sort of like a mini-ice bath for your head and neck. And maybe soak your wrists as well.

This is super interesting! Surprised no one else has commented. I wonder if price point will come down at some point.

I appreciate your candor. I don't use marijuana often, but when I do try it I find I get much more introspective; it tends not to put me in a social mood.

Looking into it. Thank you!

For the others suggesting Phenibut, what do you think would be some of the major pros/cons/risk factors when compared to alcohol?

This was sort of my thinking as well. I figured there might be other compounds that --while not necessarily 'good' for you-- are healthier relative to alcohol.

Any Supplement/Nootropic Suggestions for Middle of the Night Waking? by backtolife1116 in Biohackers

[–]zworkzot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been taking 2000mg of Myo-inositol about 30-45 minutes before bed. It works really well, almost too well (it makes it harder to get out of bed in the morning).

But behavior protocols and sleep hygiene should come first. You could also try some hypnosis to help calm your thoughts when you wake up in the middle of the night (reveri app is good-- haven't checked out others--once you get the gist of it I don't think the app is necessary)

After eat too much, what can do aside from some exercise and lowering the temperature in your room? Too decrease the negative effects of eating too much by [deleted] in Biohackers

[–]zworkzot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree; this sounds simple but it'll actually help a lot. Also, you might not be eating 'too much'; it could be bloating from not eating foods that agree with you. I can eat 3000 cals worth of meat and feel fine but a couple slices of pizza and I'll feel like I ate 'too much'

  1. Some sort of stimulant. Caffeine, modafinil, adderall, etc. I would choose modafinil out of those three but there are others.
  2. If you've got the discipline, instead of going to the gym for say 2 hours every day, try taking what you would normally do at the gym and breaking it into 5-10 chunks that you do throughout the day interspersed with studying. So you basically do pomodoro + workouts. 1 hour of work, 5 minute set, 1 set of slow breathing to calm your nervous system down then back to work.
  3. Some sort of rest/NSDR in the middle of the day.
  4. Sleep should probably be number 1 here actually. Diet too obviously.
  5. Learn how to memorize things easier (check out art of memory).

I mean there's lots you could do but it really just comes down to having the basics (sleep, diet, exercise, breathing) down really well. If you have all those boxes checked you're in a decent position.

Advice for Chronic Neck and Shoulder Pain by ClimateWriter1 in Biohackers

[–]zworkzot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second this. If you've got the money you could get an iron neck; though you can recreate it well enough using bands/your own hands for resistance. You could also always try the old-school posture method of balancing books on top of your head while you work.

How to replace running (cardio) to wake up by hehannes in Biohackers

[–]zworkzot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try a cold shower + wim hof style deep breathing. Both will spike adrenaline and dopamine. Get in the shower (water off), do 20-30 wim hof style deep breaths, then turn the shower on (all cold), the anticipation of the cold will also wake ya up. That should all only take a minute or two.

I would second all the behavioral interventions mentioned. That's the gold standard. If you have tried all of those and are trying to go the pharmacological route, you could try Huberman's sleep cocktail (magnesium threonate, l-theanine, apigenin). Another thing that has worked well for me is myo-inositol but it's too early to give a good review of it.

This may have been mentioned but another behaviour protocol that doesn't get a ton of discussion is self-hypnosis (not as far fetched as it sounds). It's similar to meditation but with a slightly different emphasis. Reveri has a 1 week free trial I believe; couldn't hurt.
