Huberman mentioned something but I forgot what that was…
Discussion
It’s really tough with Huberman Lab because the material is so dense. Without confidence I’ll say that caffeine is a an adenosine antagonist. We have reserves of adenosine leftover after a night’s rest. According to the studies he cited you should allow 90ish minutes for your adenosine stores to be depleted before ingesting caffein after waking up. This also avoids the midday crash.
Now I remember. I started doing that a long time ago and it definitely worked. No midday crash. However at around 15:00 if I work I have a coffee to boost fun and energy.
It’s super dense. I struggle most with sleep still. Had a good run a while ago using all sorts of techniques he mentioned, but it fell apart again lately between coming home late from work and trying to wake up at a regular time.
Yah. If it weren’t for hamster wheel stress I’d imagine I’d have this down. The sunrise/sunset light frequencies play a huge part if your schedules lets you work around the sun.
Sadly that is not possible in the entertainment industry. On my way out though. Nothing keeps me in that environment other than stacking before things change.
about Adenosine or about coffee in general?
More about caffeine. I think this was the episode.
- caffeine only 1-1.5h after getting up. If too early, it effects negatively your sleep/awake rhythm
- not later then 4-5PM, as it effects sleep structure, even though you think you don’t feel it.
- 2-3 cups a day not negative
Thats my major take-aways. Pls add to it 🙏🏽
