Is there a better way to caffeinate?

How many of you knew there was a better way to go? How many of you actually do it?

First, hydrate before caffeinating. You lose a good amount of hydration while sleeping. So, start my replacing it. First thing in the morning you want to start with about 10% of your hydration goal. My hydration goal is 70 oz per day. So I start with 7-10 oz each morning. To estimate your hydration goal divide your weight by 2. That number is your estimated daily hydration goal in oz.

Next, Focus on your timing. When you first wake up you have more, or generally the most, cortisol in your system. Adding caffeine right away is like tossing a twig on a bon fire. It won’t have much of an effect. But if you wait 1 to 1.5 hours after waking, when your cortisol starts to decrease, then it will have more of an effect.
