I tried Andrew Huberman's Morning Routine for 100 DAYS and became LIMITLESS...
What if you had a limitless pill? The perfect morning routine that could set you up for success, but not be so intense that you have to plan your whole life around it? Andrew Huberman's morning routine does exactly that.
This video breaks down Andrew Huberman's perfect morning routine step-by-step in a digestible format, so you too can optimize your morning, day, and life.
Throughout this video I'll also share my experience with this routine, which I've been following for the better part of 4 months now.
In this routine, you'll find ways to increase dopamine levels for increased performance, focus and drive. Sleep best practices, NSDR meditations, the benefits of light on your energy levels, and how to do cold exposure, plunges, or cold showers.
Another key point of this routine delaying your caffeine intake by 60-90 minutes in order to avoid an afternoon crash or dip in energy. All of these factors added up impact your biology, hormone levels (testosterone, cortisol, dopamine, adenosine), which all help you feel great and perform well throughout the day.
It's also about balance, and integrating these science-backed techniques into your lifestyle. Try one or two of these, and see how the align with your unique life. It's made a major impact on my life for the better and I hope it can help you as well.

🌞 Morning Routine - Set the tone by getting light into your eyes and drinking salt water. - Take a cold shower or cold plunge to increase dopamine levels. - Delay caffeine intake to offset cortisol levels. - Engage in light exercise to support dopamine levels. ⏰ Linear Phase - Focus on deep work from 10am to 2pm. - Use Pomodoro Technique for focused work sessions. - Take short breaks to reset and avoid distractions. 🎨 Non-linear Phase - Focus on creative work from 2pm to 10pm. - Practice non-sleep deep rest for relaxation and focus. - Get outside and have social interactions. 💡 Small Habits, Big Impact - Even adopting one habit can make a difference. - Stacking habits leads to significant results. - Personal development is about sustainability and feeling good.

Wow, that’s so powerful. Thank you for sharing your story. I’m a big fan of Wim and have been practicing his breathwork and ice baths for around 3 - 4 years now. Game changing stuff!!

[@specialkaypb]

So ice baths also suppress and shut down your nervous system. Which is way worse than facing your trauma and regulating your nervous system. I did cold baths for 21 days in a row and it messed me up! It's been almost a year and I'm not healthy. Any thoughts?

[@bstarzmechanic7640]

If you have these thoughts, you probably had childhood trauma and taking cold showers is not the solution.

[@quantondev]

@@specialkaypb i have no idea. I am not saying cold showers are go to for everyone. If this kind of thing is happening to you please refer to a doctor. I have no expertise for that. I just wrote what my experience was. What happened to you never happened to me. My nervous system never shut down. I think you definitely should go to a doctor. You can also try wim hoff breathing techniques. It helps improve the immune system somehow. When i stop doing the wim hoff breathing for couple of months i start to get sick(not like I am sick everyday I am just open to sickness) and when i go back to doing it.

[@rainbowinthedark453]

I feel like it’s going back to being pretty much a kid again. When we were kids well, those of us who grew up in the 80s anyway for the most part, and before then, we woke up, hit the ground running to go outside and play. I would bet vitamin D levels were Astoundingly better for people of that era. So we got our sunshine and we got our exercise and we jumped in cold water in the rivers and lakes. Maybe not in the order that Huberman recommends but in general we lived mostly outside. We had exposure to being grounded, with bare feet on the Earth, naturally. We drank water out of hoses and we played in dirt in built up our immunity. As an adult living like a kid when you were younger with complete freedom pretty much is not the norm, nor is it some thing most of us can do, due to adult responsibilities with our families and our commitments to them and work career life, as well as our jobs. I truly think we are on the cusp of going, and growing to a better way of doing things. as humans on the whole. Where the work life balance is concerned, I think of the past and how we are all indoctrinated into pretty much becoming consumers and productive workers with the goal, being to get married, and have a house and new cars and all the trappings of trying to keep up with the Jones’. As Americans, we are very lucky and one sense to have had such prosperity many of us, but it is come with a cost, and the hangover which could probably be the topic of another podcast. My point being it’s good to see people looking at alternate ways to live the American dream. Tinier homes or even working remotely from an RV and seeing the country and a lot of them while raising a Family and homeschooling them with their own values. It’s nice to see there’s not judgment so much anymore, when people decide to do things differently. On one hand, I am so optimistic and excited for the world when I get glimpses of these new trends and ways of showing that all love matters and compassion and empathy has a place in every environment. At the same time as that, I’m also scared of the people clawing and digging their hills in the ground ready to die on a hill that no longer serves society or even themselves if they truly look at their beliefs that can only divide further at a time where we can’t afford anymore isolation and divisiveness with so much racial tension, but even more scary the political differences that are making such a huge divide between the far right and left, for the first time in my life I could actually see the 💩 hitting the fan in this decade, and that would be horrific with disastrous and shameful consequences. I don’t know. I feel like I sound preachy and I so didn’t mean to come on here and comment this long, but I just hope humans rise above all this and get back to I guess thinking for themselves what’s best for them and realizing others can do in a completely different way, and be just as right, and we can all live happily as long as we respect and encourage each other. I think if people start with themselves with programs like this, where they are noticeably and statistically happier it all begins with one person, yourself and the energy that you put out to those around you. It truly is infectious. I just watched a podcast where the neuroscientist said that stress actually seeps through your skin, and so it is physically contagious. So like that’s why certain bosses can make such an unhappy, work environment and why mothers and fathers totally set the tone for the household. So it’s not selfish putting yourself first and making sure you’re happy because you’ll actually be spreading that effect and helping others just by being at that point. There’s so many different chemicals involved I love hearing Dr. Huberman speak about oxytocin and testosterone, I love all of his information he shares. It’s a great time to be alive as far as having access to information that you would’ve had to only get to read one book at a time if you could buy it or check it out now you just type it in and Wala, you instantly are in the know. It’s nice to see so many people wanting to do the work and rise up in terms of being a happier and healthier person. Because we are the ones that are going to have to help the people that haven’t grasped that concept yet and or may be stuck in their sadness and despair, and not even think about stuff like this, I know at one point I never did. OK I’m gonna shut up. I’m a small chance. Somebody is still actually reading this novella I wrote that was supposed to be maybe three sentences. I guess I must like to hear myself talk in comments? I better go look up narcissism… 😂

Great vid! I get up in the morning and make my bed, and listen to a japanese language while getting ready for work. I blend half a lemon including the skin with some cayenne pepper, ginger, cinnamon and ice. I stretch and do some quick exercises to activate my core, glutes, and hamstrings, etc. When i get to work I usually have time to meditate with headspace and relax for a little while. At one point I was getting a little obsessive about trying to do every little thing (like including fasting, cold showers, really strict dieting) and I wasn't feeling too great. So i backed off a little and think I have a pretty good balance going on now!

[@demikeproductions]

For the last few years I’ve been on the Scottish barman routine 1. Wake up early after being up too late 2. Grab a large takeaway coffee on the way to work 3. Set up the bar while drinking said coffee 4. Have a smoke after setup 5. Get through the shift 6. Couple pints of Tennent’s after work and another couple smokes 7. Go home, spend too much time playing vidya games or if it’s the weekend have a night out drinking. Repeat.

Cortisol is high in the morning and adenosine is low (cortisol makes you alert, adenosine makes you tired). Over the day adenosine builds up. Caffeine works by blocking adenosine and so is most effective a bit later in the day (not too close to evening though, thats bad for a different reason). Having caffeine straight when you wake up only makes the adenosine tiredness worse later in the day because you get a crash from it (unless you keep drinking coffee, but this causes tolerance and it doesn't work so well) I think that is why the early morning coffee is not good (source: many Andrew Huberman podcasts)

[@demikeproductions]

Got it, got it. I always took it as Adenosine builds up over the day and night, still remains high in the morning unless you "burn it off", caffeine masks it, then it's still there causing the crash. I'll do more research on this as well. It sure does help though to set give your self some time in the morning before drinking coffee. Thank you for the insights , watching and the support!!

Nice summation. I like Huberman's morning routine and some aspects of his afternoon however everything after 12 is not workable for most professional that have tasks that require a lot if tkne to complete. Plus where is the time with partner, family, exervise and for social networking in that order. In short what I require is a daily, weekly, and monthly routine that is useable by someone that has people relationships and tasks that require long hours of work plus give me time some of which is for exercise.

[@demikeproductions]

Thank you for watching and supporting:) that makes sense to me. The nice thing about Huberman’s routine is it’s fluid, meaning you can adopt any of these science backed principles and make them your own. I love that he speaks about that and being able to adapt these into any schedule, and drop some if they don’t serve you. If we did every single health hack he’s talked about we wouldn’t have lives haha.

Hadn't come across your channel before but this popped up and really glad I watched it - thanks for an effective summary of Huberman's stuff, very handy. Also noticed you use Notion, what a great program. Subscribed! I've started delaying the caffeine for an hour or so and can already tell it'll be helpful. Cold blast at the end of the shower is also enjoyable and actually makes me smile or laugh afterwards! The rest is impossible with work (teacher) and baby but I'll try and use the rest when I'm trading over the holidays. Thanks man! Oh additionally, you didn't mention the pill at the beginning - was this vitamin D, or fish oil or something? Thanks Derek.

[@demikeproductions]

Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate the note here! Glad you found this useful. Yes I use notion a lot - any serious writing projects I use it for :) That makes sense, you can certainly use the morning techniques and modify the rest or throw it out if it’s not relevant to your day. The pill was an algae omega 3 pill haha 😆 aka the limitless pill

[@lukelondon]

The best thing to do in the last 30 minutes whipe you are waiting for coffee is to write. I agree that it is better to spend most of your creative time in the "non-linear" time, but a little raw journaling in the morning is so so so good for you

[@RomVlad]

This sounds great if you have a lot of free time or a job that you can work this into. I get up at 6:15, out of the house at 7am for work, and home from work at 8:30pm.

[@demikeproductions]

Hey thanks for commenting and supporting the channel. Realistically you can do half this video with not adding to your schedule at all. Drink a glass of mineral water, delay you coffee intake, take a cold shower. We’re talking 15 minutes. The rest is really optimizing your health and how you go about your work day. You may not own a business and have flexibility of your hours, but you may be able to adjust you approach to completing tasks. Either way, just try one or two of these things. That will take no time at all and you might feel big changes like I did. Just the water & coffee delay make a major difference for me that I can feel. Hope this helps and again, super appreciate the feedback, watching and support 🙏🙏🙏

[@demikeproductions]

Hey thanks for watching. This routine is literally it. If you just modify the timelines, you won’t find a faster and more effective routine in the internet. Get up when you do, get some artificial light in your eyes if the sun isn’t available, drink some mineral salt water, delay you caffeine intake, take a cold shower, get your exercise in later if it’s too much in the morning (I do that due to my jiu jitsu schedule). The rest of the day is up to you to optimize your work flow. Try a few of these and you’ll be surprised how much of a difference it makes .

@@Marvosr how long would it take to drink a glass of water, delay your caffeine intake, replace a warm shower with a cold shower, and get outside for 10 minutes? Not very long, most people could do that. I’m not taking 6-10am to do those things. These are the frameworks Huberman has given. I’m getting through these steps quickly and tackling the biggest problems of the day first. These small habits make a big difference, so if you can’t control your schedule, do what you can, take a few positive habits from this and make it work for you. Nowhere did I say everyone has to follow the exact daily routine as a standford professor and podcast host. Hopefully you can try a few of these techniques and make them your own. They’ve impacted me deeply and I hope they do the same for you.

[@loella_]

Thanks for the video. I'm tryingto get my life together after my husband passed eight months ago at 42 years old. My routine goes around my daughters' ones, their timetables and activities so it is so difficult for me having a routine for me. The thing is, here in my country we have a "wrong" time zone and sun doesn'r rise until 8 AM. It's so sad to see how the rest of the world can work properly in the morning with sunlight whereas me- I have to wait 2 hours since I wake up to see the sunlight. I'll try to start with the coffee tip. Thank you so much Derek. God bless.

Sending you and your daughters good wishes from afar.

[@demikeproductions]

So sorry to hear about you loss :( Thinking about you and your family. Where I live the sun comes up fully just before 8am at this point in the winter cycle. Huberman clarified this recently that you should get some morning light when it's available and it's not necessary to time your wake schedule right when the sun rises, because this is impractical for most of us. There's also SAD lights that can replicate the morning light as well that are relatively affordable. I hope you can take care of yourself with everything you're going through!
