Andrew Huberman answers listener questions on late-day exercise and sleep, no-caffeine pre-workout strategies, morning light for circadian health, the dangers of protocol overwhelm, memory and sniff training, male fertility nutrition, perimenopause and mental health, chronotypes and wedding timing, and surgery recovery with prehabilitation and muscle memory.

Morning daylight, especially from east-facing exposure, optimally activates melanopsin cells to set the circadian clock, while prior light history determines sensitivity.
Memory formation involves the hippocampus and neocortex, and is strengthened by exercise, arousal, and making errors, with sleep consolidating the new information; self-testing is a uniquely powerful tool.
Prehabilitation and Muscle Memory for Surgery Recovery01:22:52
Preparing physically before surgery and maintaining circadian rhythm in the hospital accelerate recovery; muscle memory allows faster regrowth after disuse.
✧Huberman suggests couples pick a wedding time based on their chronotypes: a sunset ceremony benefits night owls while a sunrise ceremony suits morning larks.
