We can use what we learn about the brain to make our lives better. We know, that exercise is beneficial to the brain (see Does Exercise Keep our Brain Fit?). So too is sleep; for example, an afternoon nap can boost our cognitive performance by 20 to 30 percent.

The book “Brain Rules” by John Medina explores what we know about the brain and how to get most of it. In this video (from AtGoogleTalks) John Medina talks about the effects of exercise, sleep and stress on the brain, of multitasking and how to incorporate this knowledge to improve our daily live.
