Dave Asprey: The Art of Biohacking, Sleep Mastery, and Lasting Leadership

And heavily meditated, the whole theory of this is you want to enter this altered state, whether it's for deprogramming yourself, whether it's for intuition or creativity or to be grounded. There are ancient technologies and new technologies that will put you there quickly.

This is in, I think, my book on brain function. I went through the research on this, but I have it in my brain. If you don't have apnea and you don't snore, and taping can help with that, sleeping on your back is good with a little pillow under your neck. So it kind of pushes your head back like that, like a rolled up pillow, but not so your head is kind of crunched in like that.

And a lot of people snore. So then if you're snoring, then you don't want to sleep on your back. The reason you sleep on your back is the gravity will pull evenly on both sides of the face and evenly on the body. So a lot of people can't do that. And the worst position is stomach sleeping. I know. Right? Side sleeping, though, is actually not a bad thing.

If you're going to sleep, the right side, sleeping on your right side is better than your left because of where it positions the heart and the pressure on the organs. Yeah. But if you always sleep on your right side, you're going to smash the right side of your face. And you do that for 40 years, you're going to have asymmetry in your face.

So what you do is you rotate back and forth, left to right. And you always have a pillow that's the right height for your shoulder to your head. Because most pillows are two things. So your head's tipped like that. You got to get enough... enough under there, you got big shoulders. So you might need two pillows when you're on your side. And then you put one pillow in front of you.

So your arm is on it. So you're not smushing your arm. And that stops you from tossing and turning as much and then get a weighted blanket. And a weighted blanket calms the nervous system and it helps to hold your body down and you'll see improvements in your deep sleep and recovery from that.

Starting now. And it's funny to be talking about this on a leadership and mission podcast. But look, if you suck at sleeping, you will fail at all the stuff you try to do. Because your brain can only bring it when it's not tweaked. And if you want to have an untweaked system, you've got to learn how to do the nightly stuff first. And your nervous system is the real CEO.
