The Illusion of Morning Coffee Energy

Your morning coffee is lying to you about how awake you really are. That jolt you feel

fifteen minutes after your first sip isn't caffeine kicking in. It's actually your

brain's adenosine receptors getting blocked while caffeine is still crawling through your bloodstream.

The real energy boost doesn't hit for another thirty minutes. Meanwhile,

your body is just running on pure placebo and the ritual of holding something warm.

You've been fooled by a hot cup of psychological trickery every single morning. Next time you feel

instantly awake, remember it's all in your head until the molecules actually arrive at the party.
