Caffeine Timing Tips
Delaying morning caffeine intake for 60 to 90 minutes after waking can help clear residual adenosine, potentially reducing the afternoon energy crash many experience. Engaging in non-sleep deep rest (NSDR) or yoga Nidra upon waking can further enhance feelings of restfulness and energy. This practice allows for a smoother transition into the day, helping to maintain energy levels throughout.In this clip

Is it true that if you want to get the most out of your caffeine intake, you should avoid caffeine for the first 90-120 minutes after waking, as discussed in the episode Maximizing Productivity, Physical & Mental Health with Daily Tools | Huberman Lab Podcast #28 and the clip Caffeine Timing Secrets? Why is this the case? Caffeine increases alertness by blocking adenosine receptors, so your brain is temporarily paused from receiving adenosine’s ‘sleepy’ signals.
