Normally if I have a lot of work to do (at university) I will have a strong cup of coffee or very occasionally take amphetamine about ten minutes before I start working. However I often feel I havn't "woken up" enough until a good few hours after waking. Would consuming caffeine and/or amphetamine as soon as I woke up mean I would be more alert an hour or so later than if I merely timed it so that the full effects would kick in just before I started.

Doing work an hour after waking, when best to consume a stimulant?
- Thread starter joe456
- Start date
Do you take them with a meal?
best way for me personally, is to make my breakfast, drink 1/2 my cup of coffee, wait 10-15 min, then eat and drink the rest of the coffee during the meal. gives you a nice boost of energy quickly, and helps the stimulation last longer since its absorption is being slowed down by food digestion.
Did the same thing with amps back when i used them in low doses for the very same purpose (well, work, not school). Dissolve in a shot of water, and consume 15 min before a meal on an empty stomach.

thanks for the replies, sounds like a nice idea to have half before half after a meal and nice to know the bioavailability and absorption time, but i was wondering, if it takes me 3 hours to fully "wake up" and if during that time i take a stimulant i can feel the effects but still feel like i havn't been up long, would the effects of stimualants on the CNS mean that if I took the stimulant as soon as I woke up so it would fully kick in well before I started working it would take me less time to for the morning feeling to go away. This is very hard to put into words lol.

Joe that's horribly worded 
but I think I know wha you mean?
Yes if you take the stimulant in the morning and it takes you 3 hours to wake up nornally, it will reduce the amount of time needed to feel as if you've woken up. I suggest in the morning when you wake up, chug a double serving of a protein shake, or just one with milk. Then take your stimulant and it will kick in faster and feel a lot better too.
