Huberman avoids melatonin, prefers 3 safer sleep tools with better margins
Huberman steers away from melatonin because it's a hormone with roles beyond sleep. He recommends three alternatives with better safety profiles. Emphasizing exhales over inhales slows heart rate. He also discusses self-hypnosis as a powerful, underappreciated sleep and focus tool.
"These are hormones that have other issues and other roles in the body. So that's why I veer away from melatonin."
