- Achieving a healthy baseline level of dopamine is crucial for motivation and goal pursuit.
- Quality sleep each night is essential for restoring and maintaining baseline levels.
- Non-sleep deep rest practices, such as NSDR or yoga nidra, significantly boost dopamine reserves.
- Proper nutrition, particularly foods high in tyrosine, supports sufficient baseline levels.
- Regular morning sunlight exposure and consistent exercise elevate and sustain baseline dopamine levels.
