The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett

Key Takeaways
  • Light is the signal our brain uses as a master clock, regulating our circadian rhythm – we have to sleep at the right time, view light at the right time, and be in darkness at the right time
    • “Our relationship to light will directly influence the trajectory of our health. There’s just no question about that.” ­– Kristen Holmes
  • “Sleep is the greatest natural performance enhancer we have on this planet.” – Kristen Holmes
  • Tips for deeper sleep: view bright light within 20 minutes of waking; dim all lights and avoid light viewing as much as possible after the sun sets; avoid eating 3 hours before bed; sleep in a dark, cold room; manage stress throughout the day as much as possible
  • There is a lot we can control to reduce vulnerability to disease
  • Align your behaviors with the things you say you care about– if you’re struggling to adopt healthier behaviors, you need to find clarity on what you care about; this could mean cutting people or things out of your life who do not support who you want to be
    • Your behaviors send you closer or further from the person you want to be
    • Do the work to figure out who you want to be in the world: what do you value, who do you want to be, how do you want to spend your time
  • Working out for one hour per day does not give you a license to sit the rest of the day!
    • Exercise to optimize HRV:(1) Zone 5 (max heart rate) 2-3 times per week; (2) 200-300 minutes of zone 2 per week
  • Top tips for better health today: (1) prioritize consistent sleep-wake cycle; (2) consume all calories within a 10-hour timeframe, ideally ending 3 hours before bed
    • Just these two will have a significant downstream effect and regulate your relationship with light
