I try to be under an extremely cold shower for up to five minutes. It also has metabolic and health benefits to do that for several minutes.

And I do a meditation session under this on a spike mat.Ī cold shower is next. Basically, I'm using specific wavelengths of light above me that this near infrared and red lights, it's called photobiomodulation, which has a beneficial effect on our mitochondria. Meditation under the red light lampĪfter checking my sleep, I’m going straight under a red-light device. I try to do my morning routines before I take my phone out of that airplane mode or open up my computer. But I'm not taking my phone out of Airplane Mode yet. I then open up my mobile phone and I check the data of the night sleep just out of curiosity. If I have an alarm, it's actually going off based on my sleep cycle and I don't use a regular alarm, but I turn on a daylight lamp or kind of morning wake up light that goes on slowly just to wake me up in a natural way. If you do some kind of credit, courage, gratitude practice before bedtime, that's the state in which you’ll wake up. Studies proved that this is very good for one’s psychological health. And because you wake up in the state of the mind in which you go to sleep I just get the things out of my mind that are going around, and I do some positive affirmations.

One thing that I do is to write down all the things that are in my mind. A good night's sleep is, of course, very important, but the way your day starts begins the evening before. Teemu Arina: Hello Markus! My day starts already the evening before. For instance, how do the first and the last hour of your day look like? Many of these pillars are tackled by routines. In your book, The Biohacker’s Handbook, you talk about 5 pillars of life: Sleep, exercise, nutrition, mind and work. Let’s dive deeper on a few aspects here in this part. Markus Sekulla: In the first part of our interview we talked about biohacking in general, future trends and the devices you use.
