Can’t Focus After a Bad Night? Huberman Has a Fix
We’ve all been there—you toss and turn, wake up exhausted, and your brain feels like mush. Neuroscientist Andrew Huberman has a science-backed way to undo the damage—and it doesn’t involve coffee.

The Neuroscience Behind Huberman’s Trick
Instead of forcing wakefulness with caffeine, Huberman recommends one simple habit that resets your brain and restores focus:

2-Minute Forward Ambulation in Sunlight
(aka: Go for a quick outdoor walk first thing in the morning)

Why It Works:

Sunlight exposure signals your circadian rhythm to “wake up” faster
Light & movement trigger dopamine & cortisol in the right amounts
Flushes sleep inertia from your system without relying on stimulants

How to Do It in 5 Minutes
1️⃣ Wake up and go outside IMMEDIATELY (no phone scrolling).
2️⃣ Walk at least 2 minutes in direct sunlight—even if it’s cloudy.
3️⃣ If no sun, use a bright 10,000-lux light source indoors.
