[@rosedragon108]

Can you elucidate WHY one should not have caffeine until ~90 min after waking?

[@ormedanim]

@rosedragon108 because when you wake up your cortisol levels are going up as well naturally which has an awaking effect, you want to have coffee when that effect starts wearing off (he explained this much better in many of his amazing podcasts)

[@SecretMind2000]

Your dedication to spreading awareness about mental health is truly inspiring. Your content makes a difference in so many lives.

[@jakeamberson6675]

I love coffee. When I heard him suggest delaying it for 90 mins in the morning, I thought I'd feel terrible, but I did this, and it works for me. When I wake up, instead of 3 cups before 9am, I have a cup of peppermint tea first. I told myself I'm not depriving myself, I'm just not having it *now*. What I discovered is that the ritual of boiling water, selecting the tea bag, adding a bit of honey etc....is as important as the drink itself, which means I can "get by" for 90 to 120 mins before I have that first glorious cup of Joe.

The caffeine crashes are a no-go for me. Last year I had around 5 cups of coffee a day. Early this summer I decided to quit by lowering my intake every day. After a few weeks I got it down to zero. Months later I began drinking green tea. On a typical weekday I drink around 2 cups of green tea at the end of the morning. Sometimes I skip a day and I usually don’t drink it on the weekend. This has been a real game changer for me: no longer the highs and lows but rather stable energy levels. Try this if you’re struggling with dependency issues!!

Thanks Andrew, your films are great. I've learned so much from them. I started drinking one cup of coffee, c 4 times a week, at 54 years old. I drink it after being awake for c. 3 hours and never after 11am (yip, am). I wasn't allowed to drink coffee as a child and this restriction stuck well into adulthood. I take it when I'm going into the office and want some extra alertness. It's great for that. But I can take or leave it. Suspect I'm not typical. Takes all sorts tho! 😊

[@warren010h]

As someone 32 and has had caffeine between 6-9pm for a few years before slowing down on that, this so accurate. I can fall asleep easily after having it that late but definitely feel like I got half the actual sleep. I used to have coffee early in the day, preworkout (200-325mg) mid day or late (vice versa) and still fall asleep. But I feel much better overall now consuming half or less, some days without. Decaf coffee now helps me with wantinf the taste without the effects.

[@EdySmi]

I quit for a period a long time ago, and the first two weeks were so bad I almost called a psychologist to make sure I wasn't going crazy. I'm back onto 1-2 coffees a day now, but am wondering if I should quit again since the calm you feel is so good. Coffee is just so dang good though..

[@Ryan88881]

Why do you guys even do this stuff to yourselves? Jesus, if you're truly that chemically dependent on something learn to just slowly taper off. There is absolutely nothing nobel or dignified or healthy about quitting something cold turkey and 'embracing' withdrawal as if it's some healthy thing to do. Drug withdrawal is NOT healthy. Especially in the absence of tapering (which will still cause some withdrawal is done right). It doesn't have to be something that hospitalizes you or kills you to be considered unhealthy. The acetylcholine deficiency alone from caffeine withdrawal is basically just begging for brain damage and hindered memory until your system reasserts itself which.. who knows how long that will even take. It could be months if you've used caffeine consistently for years. There is no benefit whatsoever to cold turkey. Your body and brain absolutely hates it.

[@Ryan88881]

@@EdySmi It's really not that good. Also if you're using caffeine without at least 3 days in between each exposure to it you're essentially wasting your time and you're losing tons of what little efficacy this lame drug already even has. Keep it at 2 to 3 days a week tops.

[@TheDerf779]

For anyone debating on whether getting into caffeine. I’m 25 and just started consuming caffeine this year after have our first baby due to being so exhausted and my coworkers always consuming it. I’ve come to an understanding that it varies per person but for me half a cup of coffee has me wired and sometimes anxious but more productive and focused and can get me through the day. I only consume a hour or so after waking up and it literally kickstarts my day, otherwise if I don’t consume coffee I mope around and it’s hard to get anything done due to being exhausted. I’d recommend trying it out for anyone trying to be more productive in their life. But also moderation is key to anything in life. On my days off I don’t consume coffee just to detox. I’ve also noticed that if I don’t detox after a couple weeks my sleep turns to crap and I toss and turn and have terrible deep sleep.

Coffee is more detrimental to me: I started to drink max 3-5 lattes a week max after stopping for a few months. What I noticed is tinnitus and also being more tense and sensitive to my environment which made me struggle to focus on my work actually. I immediately linked it to my intake of coffee which is relevant as it increases the level of cortisol, the hormone of stress. so I am making an experiment for 30 days now, where i remove coffee entirely and... so far i have no tinnitus anymore! I don't feel tense anymore. Sensitivity... to be checked. But I think that we should always be self-aware. We should always know our body

Your fear is rational and that is why you do not drink it. Like vaccines and most poisons in general coffee has been advertised as being safe and effective. Today the human body seems to be saying no to coffee. The human body is its own regulator. Every week, your body changes so you can no longer eat or drink something you could the week before the change. What happens next is replacement. What you once loved to eat or drink is replaced by something else you eat or drink instead, which would be just as healthy for you as the other option. So I guess this means goodbye coffee.

Many people are complaining about coffee. But i think its important to workout or do some form of exercise daily if you are taking caffeine so you can get better sleep. Also, most people sleep by crashing but quieting down thoughts have huge effects on sleep and getting tired is also important. Caffeine is quite useful if you have gained weight and lazy or are unable to focus. You will have energy and focus when you intake caffeine but if you don't use it effectively than you won't have good sleep. I mostly use caffeine as pre workout and to focus on my studies.

[@poo1352]

Quitting caffeine entirely was the best decision I’ve ever made. Caffeine is much more powerful than people realize, and even a small amount consumed in the morning can have a negative impact on sleep where you wake up the next morning in a energy deficit. I’m 10x more calm, focused and productive caffeine-free.

You're stuck in a loop of drug dependency. Its not the only thing keeping you awake, in fact its one of the main factors of making you tired. Slowly cut down on your caffeine over the next couple of weeks, maybe switch to green tea or decaf. Then go altogether cold turkey and improve your diet. You'll see a world of difference trust me. Your brain and body will rebel the first week or two, but don't get the idea into your head that you specifically need caffiene to fight exhaustion, in fact its one of the causes of it.

[@AngeloBonaveraArt]

use caffiene for ~ 3 days then cycle off for 3

Cut back on the caffeine or at least stop consuming it 6-12 hours before bed. Caffeine directly inhibits quality, restorative sleep. When you fix caffeine intake, you also fix sleep quality. More daytime energy, less need for caffeine. Positive feedback loop.

Dear Dr. Huberman, First off, thank you very much for your contributions. You have provided many great insights and benefits from your experience. You have also been candid and admitted that you are not a nutritionist. And let us assume, you are also not a physician, a biologist, naturopath, or homepath. Or to put another way, a holistic practitioner. Regarding coffee, while it may be beneficial in some ways, it is hugely detrimental in other ways. For example, it increases uric acid and causes uric acid deposits. Uric acid has been linked with several disorders and illnesses, 0:05 such as Alzheimer’s disease. Uric acid deposits affect the brain, the joints, and can be especially felt in the feet. Furthermore, the caffeine is quite high, and it leads to adrenal fatigue. The majority of Americans are suffering from adrenal fatigue. We could take much to recover, and only seconds to go back into adrenal fatigue again.

[@Lolwutdesu9000]

@@jonrave7 there's also a cortisol spike in the morning, and taking caffeine increases cortisol as well. So it also makes sense to wait until your cortisol levels drop before taking something that increases it.

Thank you for the video, I do drink caffeine at 3 or max 4, still able to sleep good, its mostly because after work, I go to gym.

[@francisroberts1471]

Why does it make sense not to delay your caffeine intake if you're using it "to really jolt your system before a workout."? Does that mean I can use a decent pre-workout within 90 minutes of waking up, 4 to 5 times a week before working out, and still have an optimal routine for peak performance? Assuming my post-workout meal/diet is optimal as well.

[@transformationproject3583]

try working 7 days per week on 3rd shift and figuring out your optimal schedule. After doing it for years im convinced there isn't one. Im currently looking for a 2nd shift job. 1st is out of the question.

The MNTOPS Supplements does NOT spike my Anxiety when I am already stressing from school and work. I also have my caffine 60-90 mins after waking and stop 8 hours before bed. I am working to use only 200 a day on the days I work and none on my days off

Can I take caffeine pill for a long time ??

[@jangrajewski1017]

There is so much going on into our body after drinking a cup of coffe, but I literally feel no difference after drinking it or not.

You had an earlier interview about caffeine I liked but I can’t find it now

[@aswinms4889]

Hi, Kindly elaborate how endorphins might hinder real time injury prevention (both miner and major including that to aorta), how some might feel good from heavy lifting but can actually die from it. Can the guests on the show provide info on an instructional level as many of us are absolute beginners. I think the discussions between Andrew and the guests are at a different level for at least some of the episodes (especially the one with the AthleanX bodybuilding expert, sorry for not being able to mention the name). It would be great if you can include a pitfalls sessions in every episode so that the expert hosted can establish some well known dangers and protocols to prevent them. Sorry if I am sounding a bit too critical. Thanks for the kind attention. Thanks and regards. Sincerely

[@aswinms4889]

Sorry for the longer message. Will try to keep it short. Thanks again.

I try to cut it off about 10 hours before bed, but many times I wake up in the middle of the night and can’t fall back asleep. I’m thinking it might be the caffeine but not too sure

[@larsandreashaberg1980]

Try 12 hours and see if that helps. The halflife of caffeine is ~6 hours, so you shiuld only have

[@nosh3019]

In my case, cutting of 12h before bed and going to bed not too early helps. I will wake up in the middle of the night if i go to bed at 9 or 9.30 pm

[@MariusViken]

That can be many things. Stress, PLM, exposure for screens late in the day, overweight, bad nutrition, a late meal, moon phases, sleep apnea, sound sensitivity, partner waking you up etc. The list is long for what it can be, so you’ll have to test one thing at a time and find the pattern. For me it’s usually stress that I’m not even aware of.

[@DaytonBounds]

@@MariusViken yea I’m thinking it could be possible stress I’m not aware, caffeine, or temperature because everything else seems in check. Thanks

[@GrishaKrivchenia]

Is your cell phone close to your bed? Keep it out of your bedroom, and you may find yourself falling asleep more easily, if you tend to wake up. That little bit of light and mental stimulation keeps you from falling back asleep. 😳

I use a cup of coffee right before I practice one pointed mindfulness meditation to train my attention. After coffee my eyes and focus is like a laser beam.

Take 4 glass of water add 2 Cardamom and 1 teaspoon fenugreek seed and boil until you just have 1 glass remain then add 2 teaspoon coffee and drink it

[@achintsanghi4169]

Definitely going to start drinking coffee more often. People who drink coffee get more done than those who don’t.

[@Rctdcttecededtef]

This is true. I don't dri k coffee and never get anything done

[@ScottDePanfilis]

Some nutritionists are expressing their concern with microtoxins/mold found in coffee. Of course, roasting kills most, but not all carcinogens? And, they also mention "organic" being a safe alternative. What's your thoughts, smart man?

[@trentharrington7099]

Guys am i hearing this correctly, according to Andrew Huberman, who is a mere human. He says it's okay to drink caffeine before a workout after waking? He says 90-120min yes 'unless it's to jolt you before a workout' then he thinks it's okay to consume it?

[@OctavianTech]

I’m looking for clinical research on pubmed that supports caffeine delay vis-à-vis it’s chronopharmacology and the cortisol system, but wasn’t able to find anything other than an article that only mentioned cortisol and not caffeine’s effect on same. Any links to clinical research (no rat studies please) would be appreciated.

Black coffee while fasted can be harmful?

Caffeine if taken properly is one if not the only psychoactive drug with both short and long term benefits.

[@JoeCryptola-b1m]

Ever since you said not drink coffee first thing I started drinking twice as much in the first minute of waking also fapping twice as much my forearms are huge & im wired thanks for the advice Andrew.

So if I have anxiety but I’m always tired and caffeine doesn’t work, is there a form of energy blend that works well with caffeine to not feel, well nasty I guess? I also take loads of b vitamins and veggies and fruits. No help. Grapes do though to wake up.
