Admitting that increasing ‘rizz’ is not something one could teach, Schwarzenegger offered an alternative solution:
“We can’t teach you to increase your ‘rizz’, but if you want people to see the most charismatic version of yourself, research suggests you might want to look at your sleep patterns.”
A study on ‘A chronotype circadian model of charismatic leadership expressions and perceptions’ suggests that charisma is deeply linked to one’s sleeping patterns. This could help determine when one peaks in terms of their charm, depending on the time of the day.
“In particular, early risers are more charming in the morning, while those who go to bed later tend to have more charm in the evening”
So while this isn’t a skill that needs to be learned or picked up, one can easily observe when they feel energetic and hence, charismatic.
“If you’re an early riser, try to schedule those moments earlier in the day, and if you stay up later, expect to peak in the afternoon”
So there you have it. Schwarzenegger’s scientific formula to increase or enhance your ‘rizz’. A lot of health benefits come from a healthy lifestyle and a good sleeping pattern. Before this, Schwarzenegger even pointed out how sleep affects one’s eating patterns.
