1:00 increase dopamine 1:27 adenosine : accumulates from awakening in our brain. Creates the sleep pressure bc the more we have, the sleepier we feel. One of the offshoots of the neurons combusting energy. 3:00 A1 and A2 receptors for adenosine. One inhibits the wake promoting areas of the brain and the other increases sleep activating areas. 4:30 caffeine latches onto the adenosine receptors without activating them. So the adenosine can't communicate with the brain to say it's tired. 6:00 caffeine's half life : 5-6h / quarter life : 10-12h but varies among people, depending on liver enzymes (cytochrome P450). 2 gene variants dictate the enzyme speed in breaking down caffeine. 8:00 when the caffeine gets out of your system you get all the adenosine that has been building up while you were under the effects of caffeine so you'll suddenly feel very tired (caffeine crash)

Many thanks Matt & Andrew! This podcast made me decide to quit coffee. But it's only after quitting not only coffee but also green tea, that my sleep improved drastically. Now about 5 months without caffeine and theine. Before I was most of the time feeling sleepy lacking energy needing lots of coffee to survive the day. The effect is really significant. I wake up sooner having one hour extra in the morning, I have less nightmares. I am finally awake during the day and I no longer have these terrible cravings for coffee. I feel calmer and have now the energy to do Wim Hof method in the morning giving even more energy.... So fantastic, thanks, I'm really grateful!

Stop drinking coffee

[@djszal]

To anyone on the fence about quitting: it's worth it. The only reason he recommends people not stop drinking coffee is because coffee beans contain antioxidants. A western diet is lacking in antioxidants. But antioxidants are found in so many healthy foods (fruits, beans, etc) that this is a moot point if your diet is dialed-in. Quitting caffeine allows your body to run on its natural energy. Your sleep will improve and you'll wake up so much more refreshed. Coffee, like any drug, has an amazing honeymoon period. Until your body becomes acclimated to it. Your body is always trying to get back to baseline. So then you'll need more coffee to get the original effects. Vicious cycle that isn't worth it anymore for my quality of life. Your anxiety levels will drop and you'll be more present in your day to day interactions. Eventhough I miss my morning brew, my life is way better without it.

[@finlaywhiskard3965]

I became addicted to coffee since i started the new semester in university, i used to drank only 1 cup every day, i also tried only drinking 1 cup before 2pm… one day i forgot to drink my coffee before 2pm and that night i slept like a baby. It’s been 2 months without caffeine in my life, i can notice i have fewer levels of energy now , but much more stable and sustained focus around the day, also a sense of peace in a mental dimension compared with the high levels of anxiety i used to had when I was drinking coffee. The most important part is that its much easier to fall asleep and i have lucid dreams almost every day

Workouts are pretty good so far it just feels weird for me to just go in there with water only and get straight to it without my pre workouts but overall my workouts are actually really good rn and now I'm actually able to fully recover since I don't have all that caffeine and shit in my system

[@imaginova88]

As someone fairly sensitive to caffiene, "the dose makes the poison", and the importance of the timing of ingestion ring true after years of experimentation. Again, everyone metabolises it differently, and other factors such as stress impact how its affect, not to mention the quality of the source- 3in1 processed coffee loaded with sugar or fresh ground organic beans etc plus many more lifestyle variables...

Coffee makes us feel alert, has zero calories (black), has hunger blunting effects, boosts metabolism and tastes pretty damn good. But that doesn't come for free. Nothing does. In the long run you're better off not relying on drugs to function as a normal human being. I wake up every single day and feel so free that I don't need caffeine to perform my daily tasks. I sleep better. My energy is more stable throughout the day. I have reduced anxiety. The only thing I miss is the taste. Decaf tastes bad and only makes me crave the real stuff so i just go without it. The taste of coffee is not worth feeling like shit 24/7. I can make that sacrifice.

Three weeks in I noticed i had more energy ,then what really surprised me was my level of concentration I was completely focused on everything.II’ll give you a classic example do you know when you’re reading an instruction manual for something ,before I couldn’t concentrate on the diagrams I would do it instinctively ,now I can follow every step and understand the instructions completely.

I use kratom for the first few days off of nicotine just because the first 3 days are brutal. after 3 days the nicotine is out of your system and its just a mental battle after that. Honestly, you will have no energy for like 2 months. btw once you are free of nicotine dont ever do it again because once i was 4 months clean and decided to try one cig at a bar and then the next day i was thinking about nicotine all the time.

A few days ago I had a caramel macchiato from a cafe I like at 12:30 in the afternoon, I figured that would be early enough to not affect my sleep. I felt increased alertness for the rest of the day and come 10:00 PM when i wanted to go to sleep and was lying in bed, sleep just did not come. Tossed and turned for a few hours and finally gave up and just decided I was going to do other things until I felt I was really sleepy enough to fall to sleep. I played some piano, read my kindle, and then just finally did some of my work on the computer until 6 AM, and then finally felt sleepy enough to actually pass out. I've known that I have a harder time sleeping than other people for a long time, but didn't realize how sensitive to caffiene I am until I quit drinking coffee regularly for a couple months. Now, I'm not saying that I'm completely cutting out caffeine, but I'm never going to have it after noon and it's always gonna have to be a well thought out decision, because it might not be worth the benefit of the flavor and extra alertness during the day.

agreed. I usually replace my "afternoon coffee" with an hour nap to restore my energy levels after I come home from work (and it works wonderfully!), I used to drink around 4-5 cups a day to feel "alert", "energetic", and to be able to get through the day, but my sleep suffered so much after doing that, so I reduced my intake to 2-3 cups throughout the day (with my cut off being around 3pm) and I haven't had an issue since. I've also found that letting your body wake up for an hour before drinking coffee or anything with caffeine really helps utilize the effects of it greatly vs drinking it within the first 10 mins of waking up.

I'm not sure if it's accurate but I heard from Michael Pollan that green tea in particular (not sure about blacks) has a sort of mechanism that makes it release the caffeine over a longer period of time, so the caffeine hit is not instantaneous like it is with coffee.

In that case ( adenosine is adding up in the day and triggers the mechanisms for sleep and tiredness) people don't need coffee in the morning. They think they need. It is more of a cultural thing.

[@Plethorality]

except that after a night of poor sleep, you are tired.. abd so the vicious cycle continues. welcome to addiction.

Hello, my question is since you talked about mate, I wanted to know how much caffeine it contains, and if there is any scientific information about whether this is an adaptogen. I would like to know something about that since I am Argentine like Andrew's father and we drink a lot of mate! thanks greetings.

[@MrSpicabooo]

I only ingest caffeine in my preworkout(250mg) and lift 4x a week. So glad i dont have the dependence on caffeine some Of my friends/acquaintances do

[@MrSpicabooo]

@BagietkaYTofficall thats not alot😂 mfers be taking 400+ in their preworkouts on top of any caffeine they had in the day. Now i do like 100mg in my pre thats it

James Hoffmann recently released a video challenging Huberman's research. I'd like him to respond to this.

[@BigMeef]

Ty

[@jayaramaprasad3798]

Thank you for this interesting and valuable information. I was wondering what the mechanism to flush out the built up adenosine is, what is it's half-life? Is it flushed out by sleep and rest, and then gets back to baseline again?

[@wizardofrosss]

It's more complicated than that, the number of adenosine receptors also increases.

[@mushie1221]

5-6 hrs half-life. Variable among people due to liver enzyme class called cytochrome p450 enzymes. 2 diff genetic variations that describe how people respond to coffee

[@stevenr5149]

Some actual studies show that coffee slows the progress of dementia, promotes heart health, protects against Type 2 diabetes--and much more. Hmmm. Food for thought. I will give Huberman Lab clips a fair hearing after they do any actual research on this subject and explain why regular coffee consumption makes many people healthier.

[@noahfrenzel8682]

Does the enzymatic speed of the liver also aplly to other drugs aswell, so for example alcohol or thc? So is it kinda like if one drug effects me a lot others will too?

[@aneesmanzoor1662]

For last few months ive been getting sleepy after consuming coffee or caffeine pills?

Wish I never started drinking coffee/tea.. never give up , giving up

[@Madzguy007]

Because I love the smell and taste of coffee... I always buy Decaf coffee... When I drink caffeine, it affects my sleep and makes me jittery

[@samaratrockets7737]

Does drinking coffee early in the morning cause acidity problem in the stomach?

[@bryanads1899]

I have that issue, and unfortunately, I think the coffee affects my acid reflux no matter when I drink it. There’s plenty of information about it if you look for it. That being said, if you’re going to have coffee, try to eat your food a little bit before you have the coffee because-I’ve found, at least-that coffee on an empty stomach really creates irritation and reflux (either the feeling of acid, pain in the stomach, coughing for no apparent reason, or some combination of those issues).

[@chrissiebohnert841]

Good

[@farhiafarah6954]

And sometimes prefer green tea better and healther and water

[@cesarneri5091]

I drink it, feel awesome within 5 min of drinking. I would like to learn why I respond too fast and effectively to an small amount of caffeine.

[@spartanalphamode2987]

Most of your response to caffeine depends on your age and also your health levels. If you are a younger type you’ll instantly get that energy rush. For folks that are in their 30’s or above it works a little bit different. Caffeine tends to travel through our bloodstream relatively quickly any ways so any age can benefit from that quick rush. But in older people they got some sort of health issue like diabetes for example or even if you are young and have asthma for example it’s all in the bloostream so caffeine tends to work it’s way through the blood, but if your veins are a little clogged up from diabetes, other drugs, or anything really that caffeine will take longer to quick in. That’s why I’m younger people since they are very healthy in almost all cases they tend to get that energy rush quickly. Now if you are very healthy and young and workout you’ll definitely have an above average metabolism meaning your metabolism will be fast and that caffeine will get to you faster than an average healthy teen. So my suggestion would be to still drink coffee, but also to keep on exercising as that can improve your health. I personally drink coffee here and there, and instantly feel the rush of energy but it’s because my blood is fairly clean and I get tested every 6 months for every type of illness or things that can damage our bodies. I’m only 28 yrs old so I’m definitely getting to that old stage but hey I’m still loving my coffee.

[@danremirosenvinge3592]

Im so confused. I've heard Andrew say that you should try not to drink your first cup of coffee until it afternoon, and now also not drink coffee 10 hours before going to bed... They are basically saying, "Don't drink coffee"

[@chriskiesling9387]

Oh the tease, I want to know why he said, "drink coffee".

[@musicsaveslovelife3443]

I don’t understand because I have coffee in the morning and coffee right before bed and I sleep perfectly fine🤷‍♀️ I don’t feel the “crashes” you guys are talking about. And I feel “restored” when I wake up 🤔

[@johnthechosen1123]

I think what some people in the comments overlooked was when he advocated for caffeine use at the beginning of the video. The lesson I took from this was coffee is a useful tool to help get through the day, but be smart about when and how you use it. Seems like drinking caffeine any later than noon (or 10 hours before bedtime) will do more harm than good in the long run

[@michaelelliott1212]

It takes a long time for the body to get rid of caffeine.

[@deek177]

well said

[@gkmaritim]

Is it possible to wake up in the morning with adenosine still present becuase of a late evening or night consumption of caffeine? Leading to needing more coffee to feel awake?

[@DudeKing56]

Damn, so what does this mean for after work pre-workout supplements?

[@fiskaa93]

whats the TLDR??

[@puremustang732]

If in autistic that have sleep problems. Have any suggestions? Will really appreciate any advice.

[@bryanads1899]

Exercise, time outside, a heavier blanket in a relatively cool and dark room. Hope that’s a helpful start!
