<p>Dr. Andrew Huberman joins me to discuss: how to improve sleep; manage anxiety and reduce suicides.</p><p><strong>Dr. Andrew Huberman:</strong>&nbsp;American&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscientist" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">neuroscientist</a>&nbsp;and tenured&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professor" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">professor</a>&nbsp;in the&nbsp;<a href="http://neurobiology.stanford.edu/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Department of Neurobiology</a>&nbsp;at the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_University_School_of_Medicine" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Stanford University School of Medicine</a>.
