A Simple Science-Backed Caffeine Optimization Guide

A summary of science-backed strategies to maximize the benefits of caffeine and minimize the detriments.

Caffeine, as I have written about before, is the world’s most popular plant drug. Some more enthusiastic about it even call it an adaptogen, or nutrient, while others point out that it acts as an insecticide and toxin.

Caffeine Blues R.I.P.

This new 2+ hour/day crazy commute I'm doing has recently been livened by the discovery of a defunct radio show from 2010 on Boston's WHRB called CAFFEINE BLUES. The two college-age women who put this together had a phenomenal handle on garage punk, girl-band screech, hardcore and ultra deep-underground 7" obscurities from the 90s and 00s, many of which passed you, me and everyone else by. 

Looks like they only did a dozen or so of these shows, so that's about 24 hours you need to catch up on. Get them all on the also defunct PUZZLE PIECES blog.

4 Signs you're Dependent on Caffeine

Do you ever wonder whether you could be addicted to caffeine? These four warning signs, taken from Stephen Cherniske's book "Caffeine Blues" (pages 41-42), are used by scientists to decide if you have a dependence on a drug.

1. Withdrawal

Reducing or stopping your caffeine all together results in some of the following symptoms:

Headache

Depression

Profound fatigue

Irritability

Disorientation

Increased muscle tension

Nausea

Vomiting

Ninety-four percent of people that scientists class as caffeine dependent experience some of these symptoms.

2. Dependence

Behaviour is defined as dependent if consumption continues

despite knowledge of a persistent or recurrent physical or psychological problem that is likely to have been caused or exacerbated by caffeine.

Ninety-four percent of caffeine dependent people experience this.

3. Inability to Quit

Defined as

a persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control use.

Eighty-one percent of caffeine dependent people were unable to cut down or quit.

4.Tolerance

Gradually greater amounts of caffeine are required for an effect, the body builds up a tolerance.

Seventy-five percent of caffeine dependent people report tolerance.

The big question is, do these signs describe how you feel?
