I used to follow huberman podcast every week, but nowadays I don't have time to listen to his long podcasts. But based on his past episodes, I followed his tips for years till now. Some of the protocols I follow religiously are:

• Sunlight with walking in the morning and afternoon
• intermittent fasting by having the first meal at 2 pm
• sleeping 8 hours a day with consistent timing (I also use earplugs, mouth tapes, and sleeping masks)
• One tip that really works for me is elevating my feet a little above my face by using a pillow while sleeping.
• Workout in the morning with a combination of high-intensity cardio and weight lifting

I used to meditate, but I stopped because it was making me too alert. I am highly productive if I follow the above protocols. I can focus for long hours non-stop to do some work without fatiguing every day of the week with no breaks. But if I start to relax, I may fall into bad habits, and everything might crumble.

These tips worked for improving my sleep so I wake up energetic and have a joyful day, unless I meet difficult people who disrupt my day. My question is, what additional tips do you have for improving sleep that do not involve supplementation?

Now my question is what additional tips I should follow, and tips that worked for you that do not involve supplementing. The purpose is to do long hours of focused work and have mental clarity. I haven't been following what new tips are there to add to my protocol?

I am reading that empathy and cooperation started to develop in humans late, after more primitive traits like seeking mates and survival strategies. Given that empathy plays a major role in our survival as tribes, what do you think explains the variations of this trait among people? Some people might be callous, causing destruction, while others risk their lives to save others. The level of empathy in humans to other humans, to the degree of my knowledge, never matches that perceived in animals. For instance, a father might fight off a wild animal while telling their children to run off, risking his life to save that of his children; I don't think this selfless behavior is common in other animals.

But on the other end, there are people who are totally unbothered by the well-being of others, which might be dangerous for our survival. Why do you think this is the case? Is it because they adapted to hostile environments or filled certain roles in society that might require low levels of these traits?

Sorry if this dumb question; I am new to the topic.

Is South Africa the only African country with improved infrastructure and development? even there, someone told me that whites built those institutions during apartheid and are being destroyed because of the stagnant economy. The economy has seen little growth, and there is large inequality, and people are attacking immigrants. What do you think?
