A personal anecdote about coffee, quantity and timing:

Last summer I decided to follow Andrew Huberman‘s sleep episode to the T. I woke up with the sunrise immediately ran out of the bed without touching my phone and viewed the sunlight right as it came over the horizon. I got a little exercise, then went home and took a cold shower. Here’s where the coffee part comes in. On his advice, I waited a solid two hours every day to have my 1st cup of coffee, which allowed all the residual adenosine in my brain to flush its way out. Using this method, I would have two large cups of coffee between 8 AM and Noon but I usually try to cut it off by 10 or 11. I never gave into having a mid afternoon coffee and I didn’t feel the need to. He said absolutely do not drink coffee after 2 PM. After doing all this, I was able to go to sleep easily at 10:30 every night and relax much more deeply and had solid energy throughout the day.

The key is to wait 90 to 120 minutes after waking up for your first cup of coffee because caffeine blocks your adenosine receptors which is a chemical that makes you feel tired. If you drink coffee too soon then around 2 PM you’ll be flooded with not only the new adenosine of the day, but also the residual adenosine from last nights sleep. So let it flush out first.

I felt much better last summer when following this protocol. Might try to start again. 🤙

Pulling from a ten year old memory when I was studying Yerba mate:

Read about micro inflammation of nerves.

Don’t know if there is new evidence for or against that.

Instinctively I think cycling caffeine would be a good idea

Time to practice those meditation vids you watched yesterday

Agreed

Tbh this is the time to build friendships in a tight knit community that could last a lifetime.

There are currently people here that are and will do amazing things in thier lifetimes. And we are lifting each other up.

Right now we have such an amazing community of developers, farmers, philosophers, and artists, that are interacting in a level that is so amazing because on the bigger platforms all these people can be siloed away from each other.

Cheers 🥂

Real cool stuff happening at the coffee shop this morning ☕️

Only true in certain time and places.

1950’s American culture was like that and the ripple effects are still felt. But look at the old writings you will find men of great passion in the US and all around the world. Look at the range of emotion expressed by men in Shakespeare’s writing.

It’s an ebb and flow. Stoicism helps endure the suffering. I am a man of passion and likely my descendants will be but if we endure extreme hardship we might harden again. That’s ok because it will help us survive. And then someday we’ll make art again.

Hmmm now I’m just curious.

I got my LNURL from Alby. Now how do you use that to generate requests for specific amounts?
