Tools to Enhance Working Memory & Attention

L-Tyrosine

“at a subjective level, I can feel a meaningful increase in alertness and focus from 500 milligrams of L-tyrosine”— Andrew Huberman

Waking Up

Waking Up (inferred)

“yoga nidra scripts or protocols, as well as NSDR scripts or protocols, are available totally zero cost. You can find them certainly on apps like Waking Up”— Andrew Huberman

Why We Sleep

Matthew Walker

Adderall

“the drugs that increase dopamine and norepinephrine for the treatment of ADHD... things like Adderall, things like Ritalin”— Andrew Huberman

“things like Ritalin, which by the way is quite different than Adderall in terms of how much dopamine relative to norepinephrine it causes the increase of”— Andrew Huberman

Modafinil
