Caffeine Insights
Caffeine boosts adrenaline and reduces adenosine, making you feel more alert and energetic. It also enhances the efficacy of dopamine receptors, amplifying the effects of dopamine. For optimal sleep, limit caffeine intake to early in the day and stick to a moderate amount, ideally between 100 to 400 milligrams. Staying hydrated and mindful of caffeine sources, like avoiding smoked mates, can further support well-being.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? Why? Caffeine increases alertness by blocking adenosine receptors, so your brain is temporarily paused from receiving adenosine’s ‘sleepy’ signals. When you first wake up, your adenosine levels are already at their lowest, so you won’t feel the full benefits of the caffeine you’re drinking.
