And so I think that if you expect yourself to focus, you need to give yourself some warm-up time to focus.

Don't

assume that you have attention issues if you sit down and it takes five or 10 minutes to drop into a state of focus, just like you wouldn't expect yourself to go out for a hard run without some sort of warm-up jog beforehand.

So the behavioral tools such as focusing on a visual target are underexplored, at least in most countries, but in China and elsewhere, they are being explored pretty extensively.

So I would encourage a full exploration of all the tools.

In this case, it says not taking medication, then obviously, heavier reliance on the behavioral tools is going to be helpful.

While I'm getting more sleep now, I neglected sleep for many years.

Me too.

And at least 15 years of getting just five or so.

Am I doomed or can I offset this past damage?

You can offset the past damage.

One of the things that's really wonderful about the brain and body is that it can compensate.

There's certain things that I get asked a lot.

I don't know why I get this question a lot, but people say, you know, I smoked meth for years, and then can I get my neurons back?

And I'm like, well, you know, it's neurotoxic, but the fact that you're asking the question is reassuring.

You know, so don't start.

But if you did, you know, I mean, you can always do better than you're doing, and you certainly can do better than you did in your past, or at least that's what they tell me.

So really, when it comes to sleep deprivation, you know, I spent many all-nighters.

I wouldn't talk about sleep so much if I didn't have challenges with sleep.

I mean, for a long time, I slept like a bulldog.
