It's been awhile since I was in Pre Med. This is a different study, but I am going to focus on
cortisol and will only mention that your metabolism shifts your hormones and neurotransmitters gradually over the first 2 hours being awake. If you wait til your metabolic process is at its normal functional hormone/endocrine levels vs when your bodies trying to adjust. you'll affect how your body wakes up in the long term because its used to going from 0 to 100,
Cortisol ramps up slowly as you wake up, stimulants increase cortisol, which is fine normally taking small doses, and I'd say if you don't smoke or use caffeine right when you wake too or smoke at all. You can ignore it, but we all know what cortisol does. makes you alert, aware, motivated for whatever it is you gotta do to survive, HIgh levels cause stress in order to make us fix whatever is bothering us in our life... All outdated hormones for when we were cave monkeys lol... too little and well depression lack of motivation sedentary lifestyle risks.. if you smoke, drink coffee, take meth the second you wake up well;
they found in resting people that this leads to higher levels of cortisol then if you waited until your cortisol was at its metabolic standard. The study is on caffeine and cortisol levels in relation to waiting later to take it. If you wait your cortisol levels hit a softer ceiling and level out. if you take it the first thing your bodys metabolic processes switching from sleep to awake has to really work hard to speed up.
There is a reason most people have a period of feeling tired in the morning, it is normal for your metabolism to turn on over time. CORTISOL CORTISOL CORTISOL.
There are better studies out there I just don't have the time to find my old research
High levels of elevated cortisol levels are well documented. evation risks for prolonged periods of your life well the effects of cortisol and hypertension, heart disease, and any number of other issues I am missing. It's a long term harm reduction practice. I feel alot better since I stopped using adderall or stims to wake up while still sleeping after taking a pill and falling back asleep.
