Why should caffeine intake be delayed for 90 to 120 minutes after waking according to Andrew Huberman in the episode Using Caffeine to Optimize Mental & Physical Performance | Huberman Lab Podcast 101 and the clip Caffeine and Sleep?
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?

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.
