Are you Russell Foster? Claim this pageProfessor of circadian neuroscience at the University of Oxford, director of its Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute, and author of Life Time. He co-discovered the eye's non-visual light sensors that set the body clock.
He discovered the photosensitive retinal ganglion cells and the pigment melanopsin — a light-detecting system, separate from vision, that entrains circadian rhythms and regulates sleep, most sensitive to blue light. His work explains why light timing governs sleep, alertness, and health, and why misaligned clocks (shift work, screens at night, aging) cause harm.
Light sets the clock that runs your health — aligning light exposure, sleep, and daily timing with the body's circadian system is fundamental to sleep quality, mood, and long-term health.

50 mg apigenin capsules, the Huberman-approved sleep dose in a two-month supply
A chamomile-derived bioflavonoid in 50 mg capsules—the exact dose Andrew Huberman popularized for sleep support. Take one before bed with dietary fat, or one in the morning with breakfast for daytime stress support. Each bottle contains 120 capsules for a two-month supply. Third-party tested for identity, potency, and heavy metals (lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury). Soy-free, gluten-free, vegan.
Free thermal stress protocols from Huberman Lab's newsletter
Sign up for Huberman Lab's Neural Network newsletter to access science-backed protocols on heat and cold exposure, including the "Cold Exposure Guide" and other toolkits on sleep, fitness, and goal-setting. No equipment or gym membership required—just email-based protocols you can implement at home. The monthly newsletter draws from neuroscience research and Huberman's daily routine.
Mateína's 12-pack yerba mate hits different than coffee—120mg caffeine, zero crash
Four cans each of Lemon Original, Mint Limeade, and Raspberry Yuzu. Air-dried organic yerba mate with 120mg caffeine per 355ml can, zero sugar, 20 calories. The blend of caffeine and theobromine (also in cacao) delivers a smoother, sustained lift without the jitters or hard crash of coffee—best sipped between 1pm and 4pm to avoid disrupting sleep.
Pod 5 mattress cover cools to 55°F, heats to 110°F, tracks sleep stages and HRV
A 1-inch-thick hydro-powered cover that sits on any mattress and delivers independent temperature control for each side (55°F to 110°F). The system tracks heart rate, HRV, sleep phases, and snoring via clinical-grade sensors, then Autopilot automatically adjusts temperature through the night based on your sleep stage. Includes vibration alarms and a 30-night trial.
WHOOP 5.0 membership tracks HRV-driven recovery, strain, and sleep—built for athletes who obsess over data
A wearable subscription that monitors heart rate variability (HRV), sleep quality, and training strain with a 14+ day battery. The Three tiers start at $199/yr for basic recovery tracking, up to $359/yr for medical-grade features like ECG and on-demand AFib detection. Includes lifetime warranty and 24/7 support. Women's hormonal insights and VO2 max zones are standard across all plans.
Joovv Solo 3.0 delivers clinical-grade red and near-infrared light from a single panel
The Solo 3.0 is a Class II medical device red light therapy panel ($1,699) with independently certified irradiance specs and modular expandability. It runs red and near-infrared wavelengths with pulsing modes (Recovery+), an app for session tracking, and morning/night ambient modes. Intertek-certified to IEC 60601 medical equipment standards. HSA/FSA eligible.
MitoMIN 2.0 delivers solid red-light therapy for the money
60 LEDs running 660nm (red) and 850nm (near-infrared) in a compact panel. Independent third-party tested, FDA Class II registered, and whisper-quiet. Three modes let you run red, NIR, or both. Comes with kickstand and timer. Entry point to photobiomodulation (light therapy) without the flagship price tag.
Manta Sleep Mask hits differently for side sleepers—magnetic cups, zero lash pressure
A 100% blackout sleep mask with infinitely adjustable fit and soft, breathable materials. The magnetic eye cups apply zero pressure to your eyelids or lashes, which matters if you sleep on your side. Available in four colors (Classic, Sunrise Pink, Carbon Black, Forest Green). Rated 4.7/5 from 5,068 reviews. Includes 60-day money-back guarantee.
Hatch Restore 3: the bedside clock that actually wakes you up gently
A compact smart alarm clock with a genuine sunrise simulation—the light gradually brightens over your chosen wake window instead of jolting you awake. Includes speaker for sleep sounds and white noise, app control optional, 30 nights free Hatch+ subscription to test it out. The light quality and sound variety are what people actually rave about.
Hostage Tape forces nose breathing at night—works if mouth taping doesn't freak you out
30-day supply of adhesive strips designed to keep your mouth closed during sleep and encourage nasal breathing. Beard-friendly, hypoallergenic, peels off clean. The premise is blunt: mouth breathing tanks sleep quality, and this forces the alternative. Comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee and ships in 3-5 days.
