Dopamine was never the feel-good chemical. It’s the reason you keep reaching for the next thing, and the reason the crash after it keeps getting deeper. In this clip, Andrew Huberman and Jay Shetty talk about the two things your brain needs before it can learn anything, and why one of them is doing nothing at all. Andrew explains what actually happens in your brain while you sleep, why the small things feel enormous when you’re tired, and what a study on college students camping for two nights says about the clock inside every cell in your body. Learn about the brain area people chose to stimulate more than any other, why missing someone is a good sign, and the one habit Andrew would give every person on earth.
