    Haha, yes, Bingo! My coffee drink plan is right!

    I've been drinking it at the right time ever since. No wonder if I don't have any sleep schedule problems. (except when I feel depressed, of course, I'm also a human). I'm probably addicted but I just love to taste many different kinds of coffee brew.

    An hour after waking up, (assuming Americans woke at 8 or 7:30, that's 9 after an hour, while I wake up at 5 and drinking it at around 6 and 7 after breakfast) check.

    After the noon break, check. Break at 12-13. After it? I'm not drinking it except for overtime. Sleep at around 20-21. With a cup of milk, and then I wake up like a baby.

    Caffeine last for 5 hours, and I'm not drinking more than a cup of coffee a day, of course except overtime, or probably sometimes, a tea time.

    What about drinking coffee with your breakfast? I've heard it can bleach the nutrients from the food so you should wait an hour after eating to have coffee…

    Hi mate, I hope even though the video is a bit old, you'll still answer this question as I can't find an answer. According to Circadian Rhythm, our cortisol spikes around 9am. But, what happens when you wake up very early? Let's say I'm a 5am an early bird, and I assume my cortisol spikes earlier than 9am. Is there a formula for how many hours do I need to wait to drink coffee SINCE I WOKE UP? As it's gonna greatly affect caffeine consumption adapting to my daily routine. Thanks in advance.
