These turn off the melatonin faucet in your brain which allows you to kind of clear the brain fog and wake up. The more consistent you are with it, the more your body can expect when to turn off the melatonin faucet. When it turns off the faucet in your head, it sets a timer for roughly 15 hours later to start melatonin.” “You would actually be considered drunk behind the wheel if you get less than 5 1/2 hours just from a reaction time standpoint.”“Sleep is a lot like love: the less you look for it, the more it shows up.” Connect With Dr. Michael BreusWebsite: https://thesleepdoctor.comInstagram (@thesleepdoctor): https://www.instagram.com/thesleepdoctor/Dr. Breus’ book: Energize!: Go from Dragging Ass to Kicking It in 30 Days Connect With AGEISTNewsletterInstagramWebsiteLinkedInSay hi to the AGEIST team!
