    How is sleep considered a source of dopamine?

    A quick search yielded it helps reset and balance dopamine receptors but not that it provides any.

      I had the same thought about therapy. Like who says that’s a dopamine source? Feels like they just added random activities here. How about ice skating or baking as well?

        Dopamine regulation as a whole could be considered “Dopamine Responsibly”, the way I see it.

        It’s lumping an incredible amount into small categories. I would bet your named activities are going under the hobby category.

        This seems like a really thrown together at the last minute chart. Where’s sex? Why is learning expensive? It’s only expensive if you’re doing it specifically with a degree in mind at a college, because wikipedia is free, and there are a ton of resources out there in the form of free ‘classes’ with quite a bit of material. Fuck, even textbooks at the library are free(ish).

        Processed food is cheap? Jesus, I wish. Exercise is more expensive than breathwork? Hooooow? AND HOW IS MEDITATION MORE EXPENSIVE THAN BREATHWORK?!? It’s the same damn thing with a different focus!!!

        Oh my god, how is alcohol more expensive than caffeine? Have you seen how much it costs to get a good cup of joe? Coffee’s nasty, but whatever. It’s not as if three shots from a bottle of bottom shelf tequila/vodka are going to last you a lesser amount of time than the caffeine buzz. Shit, unless you’re really nursing that coffee, alcohol’s time to metabolize is going to last way longer.

      helps reset and balance dopamine receptors

      I mean, its sort of like asking how a tune-up for your car provides transportation.

      If you’re receptors are burnt out, your ability to process dopamine is severely inhibited.

      It’s my body’s natural reaction whenever it doesn’t get enough dopamine.

      Are we still driving down this highway? Screw that, we’re going to sleep.
