Behavioural Strategies That Truly Reduce Dopamine Hyperactivity Here are just some tips for you all to reduce dopamine hyperactivity, which should improve your fluency over time. Works for me so hopefully some of you get similar benefits. 1. You MUST get quality sleep, consistently, every night. Minimise screen time before bed. 2. Slow breathing exercises first thing in the morning and right before bed. Look up the 4-7-8 technique. 3. Low intensity exercise. Not high intensity as this boosts dopamine! 4. Avoid dopamine-spiking behaviours: Porn, Binge eating, Social media dopamine cycles, MDMA or stimulants, and Excessive caffeine.
