Summary of Transcript:
This YouTube video features an interview with Ben Greenfield about his evening routine. He typically wakes up from a post-lunch siesta and does something to get his engine started again, such as jumping in the pool or doing a stretching and foam rolling session. He has a second energy compound of the day, which could be leftover coffee or tea, mushrooms, or an energy drink called drink update. He avoids anything with a hefty amount of caffeine because of its long half-life. From around 2-5:30 pm, he does work that requires less creativity and decision-making, such as replying to emails and taking phone calls. At around 5:30 or 6, he spends time with his family doing activities like training for a free diving and spearfishing trip, practicing breathwork, and playing family sports. Around 7, the family gathers in the kitchen to prepare dinner, and his sons fill him in on the books they’ve been reading.

Greenfield’s Routine from 3 pm Onward
Greenfield starts his evening routine by taking care of his circadian rhythm. He avoids blue light from electronic screens by using blue-light-blocking glasses or switching to dimmer red lights. He also has a grounding mat and earthing sheets to reduce electromagnetic stress on his body.
Greenfield follows an early dinner schedule and avoids eating heavy meals, which can interfere with sleep. He also practices intermittent fasting, allowing around 13 hours between his last meal and breakfast.
Greenfield’s Sleep Pattern
Greenfield aims for 8 hours of sleep every night, and he uses various strategies to achieve this. One helpful tool is a sleep tracker that measures heart rate, body temperature, and movement during sleep. He also practices breathing exercises to optimize his heart rate variability and relaxes his mind through meditation.
Evening or Morning Routine: Which is More Important?
DeLauer asks Greenfield whether having a morning or evening routine is more important. Greenfield believes it depends on the person’s goals and lifestyle, but having a consistent way that sets a positive tone for the day or night is crucial for optimal health.
Intimacy
Greenfield emphasizes the importance of intimacy and connection with his partner as part of his evening routine. He avoids using electronic devices during intimate moments and practices bonding activities such as cuddling and massages.
Nighttime Supplements
Greenfield takes a few supplements before bed to help support his sleep and recovery. These include magnesium, melatonin, glycine, and adaptogenic herbs such as ashwagandha and reishi mushrooms.
Sauna at Night
Greenfield also uses a sauna 2-3 times a week before bed to promote relaxation and recovery. The sauna heats his body and triggers a natural release of endorphins and growth hormones.
