The biohacking creator starts the day with a pinch of salt, maxes out on supplements and doesn't believe in counting calories
I usually wake up naturally, although I set a backup alarm on the app SleepSpace. It stirs me when I'm closest to the top of a sleep cycle, so that I don't get jolted awake. My average sleep is six hours and 32 minutes a night. My mattress changes the temperature of the bed, sometimes dozens of times a night, to help me get more REM sleep.
Once I'm up I'll have a glass of water with sea salt and lemon juice. This replenishes lost electrolytes and maintains hydration. Then I'll have a shot of espresso made with Danger Coffee, which is full of minerals and electrolytes. Then I go outside to get some sunlight in my eyes.
Every morning I schedule at least 45 minutes of biohacking before meetings. I often use my cold plunge or infrared sauna or do some breath work. I might do some cardio powered by AI. I use the Upgrade Labs technology stack, which gives you maximum benefits in a short time. Or I might meditate by connecting my brain to a computer, which is part of my 40 Years of Zen protocol.

Review: Need a sound night's sleep? These earbuds can even cancel your neighbours
I am incredibly noise-sensitive. I have the disposition of an irritable bat, which is only exacerbated in a sleep setting. And I have neighbours whose noise is constant: coughing, kids screaming, shouting.

Shabana Mahmood faces revolt over her asylum changes
DAILY MAIL “For the millions in this country who want an end to unchecked illegal migration, Shabana Mahmood’s proposals for a Danish-style asylum system are a decent start. There are simple, commonsense tweaks to rules widely regarded as far too generous. A key sticking point will be Mahmood’s struggle to sell the proposals to her own backbenchers.
