But what if I told you that first cupisn't as necessary as you think?

Your body operates on a Circadian Clock. This is a 24hrhormonal cycle that effects when you sleep, wake and

eat, amongst other things.

Cortisol Levels are highest between the hours 8-9am and 12-1pm

During these times your body is naturally producinghormones that give you a jolt helping you to stay

awake and alert.

Ever feellike thatlast cupjust didn'tcut it?

The effects of caffeinediminish greatly during

those peak hours and cancause your body to build up a

tolerance

Which is why you're fiending for the second cup. (or third)

The best times to maximizeon your caffeine

addiction are 9:30-11:30and 1:30-5.

These are the times yourcortisol levels are

lowest when your bodycould use that pick me

up.

What about those who wake up hoursbefore optimal brewing hours?

Don't Panic!Cortisol starts producing

naturally upon waking up to giveyou that jolt you need to get your

day going.

There's no need to kick your earlymorning habit, but maybe just push it

back a little to make sure you getthe most from that morning cup of

joe.
