Protocols

by Andrew Huberman · Published 2025

A practical collection of advice on sleep, focus, exercise and daily performance. Useful for turning scientific concepts into workable habits — though its recommendations are best weighed against the quality of the underlying evidence rather than taken as settled prescription.

What works

  • Highly practical.
  • Connects behavior with neuroscience and physiology.
  • Useful for experimenting with routines.
  • Organized around actionable protocols.

What doesn't

  • Not every recommendation has equally strong evidence.
  • Can encourage an overly optimized approach to everyday life.
  • Scientific nuance can get lost when translated into protocols.
  • Better viewed as a starting point than a medical authority.

Daily behaviors involving sleep, light exposure, exercise, nutrition and routines can influence physiological and cognitive performance.
