  1. Morning sunlight exposure (within 30-60 min of waking) sets your circadian rhythm and improves sleep that night
  2. Focus follows stress: brief stress (like cold or exercise) enhances learning by releasing neurochemicals
  3. Your brain changes most when you fail and try again—neuroplasticity requires effort and errors
  4. Dopamine is about motivation, not reward—it drives you toward goals and is depleted by too-easy pleasures
  5. Caffeine should be delayed 90-120 minutes after waking to avoid afternoon crashes
