It helps with neurotransmission as well.

But it's an inhibitory neurotransmitter.

So what happens is when you wake up, your brain's still flooded with all this stuff.

That's where you have brain fog.

And when you consume caffeine early, what caffeine does, particularly coffee,

is it blocks these receptors, which means it doesn't leave your brain.

And so that's why a lot of people like, man, I need a second cup of coffee.

I need a third cup of coffee.

I need a fourth cup of coffee because the fog is still there because you've been drinking coffee and caffeine.

You have not allowed the adenosine to leave your brain, which typically takes 20 to 40 minutes after you wake.

So if you can do something for the first 20 to 40 minutes, let that adenosine clear your brain.

Have the coffee that you want.

But for me, it was sky before screen and then not trying to consume caffeine at least the first 30 minutes of my day.

You'll feel like your brain fog will change.

At least it has for me.

Your clarity of focus improves.

And then you can certainly have that morning cup of coffee if that's something that you partake in.

Okay?

That's fourth habit for me, sky before screen and no caffeine the first 30 to 45 minutes.

And no, I did not know that was going to rhyme when I first wrote it down to tell you.
