The cortisol and the adrenaline have dropped.

They actually boosts the cortisol and gives you a bigger bang for your buck.

So you heard it here first.

The sleep doctor says hydrate before you caffeinate, then get caffeine at approximately 90 minutes after you open your eyes.

You will be shocked at how much better you feel and a bigger bang for your buck that you get.

That's a habit that affects your sleep.

Yep.

You can actually extend the cortisol and the adrenaline by hitting the gym.

Now, remember, you have different reasons why adrenaline and cortisol are going on for the wake up.

That's one reason.

But you're talking about extending it through, let's say, a workout.

So as an example, let's say that within 20 minutes of me waking up, I've got a gym in my house or I've got an area of my house to work out.

I can start doing pushups.

I can start doing chin ups.

I can start, you know, I can run in place.

I've got a bike, whatever.

Your question, I think, is does that help my workout if I have all of that going on?

The answer is 100%.

Yes, it absolutely does.

It can also extend the life of the cortisol and the adrenaline in your head by doing that.
