Evening Routine with Tim Ferriss

hi guys Tim Ferris here I am asked a lot about evening routines so I'm going to show you what my current routine looks like pre-bed so let's say that I'm about 60 minutes out I want to go to bed in 60 minutes I am going to make myself some tea that is decaffeinated these days it is Douglas F spring tip by Juniper Ridge this stuff right here it is fantastic I first bought it at the San Francisco fairy Building farmers market which is on Thursdays and Saturdays this stuff has become a real favorite now into that tea once I've steeped it and taken out the bag I will put in apple cider vinegar one or two tablespoons and then I'll also put this is assuming I'm having trouble sleeping I need to get to sleep and a tablespoon of unfiltered honey all right this is a tip borrowed from my late friend Seth Roberts an amazing guy and I am not 100% sure on the biochemistry behind why this works but it knocks you out like that many of my friends who are chronic insomniacs have credited this with better sleep than even prescription medication so I'm not a doctor don't play one on the internet so stay on your meds talk to your doctors blah blah blah but this combination of apple cider plus the honey which I would just add to this tea is literally a knockout it's incredible now at that point I will turn on my downstairs soaking tub and we're going to get some footage of that in a second that takes about 15 minutes to fill and I'll sit down and I will read fiction right I'm not going to read something like a non-fiction Business book that's going to keep my problemsolving apparatus in sixth gear that's not helpful I need to turn that off so I'll read fiction this is a book that I just finished which was recommended to me by a billionaire investor named Chris Saka who's also a friend and has been on the podcast on the Tim Ferris show and it is called how to get filthy rich in rising Asia by I'm guessing pronounced m HED this is a fantastic book I mean it is just incredible uh Pros so pure and purposeful it passes straight through into the bloodstream it intoxicates the New York Times book review a globalized version of The Great Gatsby his book is nearly that good MPR it's fantastic and very hilarious so I just finished this fiction then at that point I'll set an alarm let's say it's 13 minutes in I will fill up this thermos effectively with water and a ton of ice now this Hydro Flask 40 oz Hydro Flask is also something I travel with why this is actually kind of cool because it doubles as a foam roller but it's not foam so I will use this to actually roll out my hip flexors and whatnot when I'm on the road and it saves me the trouble of packing both so I can just clip this onto my carryon with Carabiner and off I go now I have this which is going to be a core literally core component of thermo regulation and then I had downstairs so that's where we going next so here we are downstairs got the Houdini have all sorts of other artwork this room used to be just like a dirty futon room with a PlayStation the previous owners didn't know what to do with it so I stripped out everything and I built something that I've wanted since I was 15 and lived in Japan and had a nightly ohuro so this is what it looks like and uh try not to completely kill lighting here but if you come in you can see that this has been made into my spa room effectively complete with the shelves with towels and everything so this is a soaking tub and each night I will get in here I have my ice water this will sit at at this point right here I have a thermometer if I really want to check water temperature because I will sometimes alternate this with ice baths in the other room and uh then you have steps that give you different depths so I can go from about here to here to here all right now there are no Jets this is not a Jacuzzi this is a soaking tub and to that end I have a bunch of stuff in here these are different types of Epsom salts and medicinal salts that are in dog food rolling containers so this is Epsom salt magnesium sulfate that I buy bulk and I will just take two gigantic glasses worth or jars worth of this and put it into the tub I also have a number of different oils and so on depending on my training I can use uh and if we come around the corner here you can see that we have cozy little sauna so this is a dry sauna for two people it's a tight fit you can get someone on the floor also if they're a little overheated and I will play with this for not only just regular B shiing purposes but also for increasing endurance uh and if you're interested in that you can look up Ronda Patrick r h o n d a Ronda Patrick PhD and uh sauna and Ferris there's an entire 10 page post on how to use heat exposure for uh growth hormone increases and improved endurance and that is in effect my evening routine so starts upstairs ends up down here I will consume the ice water every two or three Cycles into that bath I will usually listen to an Audi book of some type or presentations that are motivational in some capacity and then shower and off to bed and having already had the cocktail with the apple cider vinegar and the honey I'm out like a light I am a lifelong Insomniac and I no longer have insomnia in part due to having a consistent nightly ritual did you like this if you like this you're going to love what's waiting right here click subscribe I have some amazing stuff coming
