Caffeine is fine as long as you stretch often to keep arteries open, and sleep 12 hours a day.
🤨
🗿
Isn’t 12 hrs a bit overkill?
You’re making your heart work harder. You also need to rest harder as a result, to avoid accumulating damage. There is a lot of interpersonal variance, though, with different bodies and genetics.
300mg is a lot of caffeine, mind you.
300mg is one can
lmao
4 hrs mostly, 6 hrs max.
Sleep is for the dead, permanently disabled, or “retired”.
My pending heart attack is looking real fucking relaxing. Hopefully permanent.
I need my brain to jitter; not my body. 😬
Try 400 and just stand around gawking
I don’t need you calling out my 2:00 AM Tuesday ritual.
Sounds like a plan. Jacking up your heart rate and increasing your blood pressure aren’t great things to do before you start rigorous activities.
My understanding is that caffeine doesn’t give you energy but instead blocks the sense of tiredness.
Basically carbs and fat give you energy, if we’re talking the literal term. I think protein does too but it’s less.
But stimulants do unlock mental resources. I believe caffeine induces a fight or flight state (what I’ve heard; haven’t studied this), one aspect of which is the body decides to make more energy available at the cost of faster breakdown.
Dopaminergic stimulants give your body the sense it’s pursuing something important. So the same zap of released resources called “motivation” that you’d get if you suddenly realized your favorite person in the world is outside, you can also get by taking adderall or cocaine.
Only if you take it once though. If you drink coffe regularly, you only get withdrawal symptoms if you have none instead. Coffeine has no stimulating effect if taken regularly.
Or just…don’t,?
Ffs grow up and find some self control people.
The amount of people addicted to caffeine who don’t even know it is crazy high.
The costs of withdrawing for some are higher than others, so for these people quitting isn’t just a day or two of headaches, and possibly their life doesn’t afford them the luxury of going through the pain and low productivity
Many factors play into it rather than just low self control, in case you’re wondering why you got down voted.
Self control is a road to many abilities, some of which are considered unnatural, such as not drinking coffee. My personal favorite is to connect to points in space time together, to create a hole to crawl from one side to the other, for example, to connect the university of Tubingen and Boulogne-sur-Mer.
You just put so many psychiatrists out of business
Typical ADHD reaction.
Lightweights lol. Anyway I’m not getting any thinking dinner unless my caffeine to blood ratio is at least 2:1.
2 hours? That sounds marvelous! Right now I get all caffeinated and then tether myself to a headset for 8 hours lol
lol
That’s why I made my work buy me a wireless headset.
That way when I’m locked in a 5 hour call for something I have no input on or care about I can at least get up and make myself a few cups of coffee
now wander the space with a golf club or baseball bat
locked in a 5 hour call for something I have no input on or care about
You are living my nightmare.
I’m living myown nightmare
What headset are you using? I’ve got a big ass nose cancelling headset I use on my personal computer, but it’s a bit much for work - especially since I have to be on camera occasionally.
Random Microsoft ones the work gave me. They are surprisingly small and comfortable
They won’t give us wireless ones unless there’s some kind of medical exception… The managers get them but we don’t. I would buy my own but every time I try to use any of my own equipment IT freaks the fuck out about it
We learned the magic words at my company.
Health and safety
Say that and they back down.
My work take h&s super serious. He’ll just today the upper management held a 90 min meeting right across lunch time that included a segment on how important it is that you get away from your PC during lunch.
So you’re telling me there’s are jobs where i don’t have to do anything for 5 hours at a time?
No there are jobs that have 5 hour meetings while you watch your backlog pile up an extra 5 hours
Ah, i understand the pain now.
Do you ever have to note or recall information afterwards? Because for me it wouldn’t be the sitting in a call for 5 hours part that would be the problem, it would be someone asking me to tell them anything that happened in it that would be the problem. I couldn’t even tell you who was in it
I have trigger words that snap my attention into the call. I support the infrastructure for a cloud app. Most calls are on the app layer so I couldn’t care less. It’s only when the infrastructure gets mentioned I need to listen.
Yes I do take notes
At that point I unplug my headphones and let the speakers do it so I can wander the room and not be literally tied down.
it’s interesting seeing a bunch of anxious people go exacerbate anxiety with caffeine. so many fuckin annoying encounters
Yeah they really should be on Adderall like a fucking adult.
Adderall is so much more chill than caffeine
I’m in this photo and I don’t like it 😂
I read this mid sip of coffee at my workststion.
i’ll admit to almost spitting out my energy drink snorting
I just got to the dentist after having too much coffee, so this definitely tracks
He makes your gums bleed, so you attack back with coffee breath. Nice!
My dentist is honestly awesome and good at not doing that or poking where it hurts. It’s why I drive 2 hours one way for these appointments.
