A five-minute daily meditation practice before sleep may double benefits for sleep and growth hormone release.

“a meditation practice that allows you to get into these slow wave delta type frequency uh activity in the brain may be very beneficial because as I mentioned before that's what's gating growth hormone release it's not just a circadian phenomenon it's actually controlled by these uh brain waves”

“the re we're talking about altered traits today is because certain types of meditation can get people's brains into states that very closely mimic slow wave sleep so what this means is for for people that are interested in increasing growth hormone a meditation practice that allows you to get into these slow wave delta type frequency uh activity in the brain may be very beneficial”

“I saw a paper recently that described a, and forgive me if this was one of your papers, um, I don't think it was, it described a pre-sleep meditation that one could do to significantly increase the amount of growth hormone that's released once one gets to sleep.”

“Turns out this meditation that was described um boosts growth hormone in a you know incredible way um without altering some of the other features of sleep.”

“Um, and given that this other paper described that some pre-sleep meditation can have a really impressive impact on growth hormone release.”

“So I suppose that if you want to double up on the benefits, you could just do the 5minute per day meditation folks uh in the hour before sleep.”
