Energy Biohacking
Biohacking for energy is one of the top areas explored, according to Asprey. What’s more, biohacks for sleep are often part of this category, because a person often can’t be energetic if they’re not well rested. Most U.S. adults fall behind here, with over one-third of adults included in the National Sleep Foundation’s 2020 Sleep in America Poll saying they don’t get the recommended amount of sleep[2].
This category can also include stress relief, as chronic stress can be very draining on a person’s overall energy.
Energy-related biohacking examples include:
- The use of sleep tracking devices
- The wearing of blue light-blocking glasses
- Light therapy for circadian rhythm regulation
- The use of meditation apps for sleep support, stress relief or both
- The consumption of supplements like vitamin B12 and magnesium
- Timed caffeine ingestion
