One is that I tend to have coffee on an empty stomach in the morning. Why? Well, that\u2019s my general preference, and it\u2019s also just 8 ounces, so it\u2019s a pretty <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/articles\/caffeinated-content\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"mbg-track-event\" data-track-event-types=\"click\" data-track-type=\"article-link\" data-track-prop-element-id=\"in-body-link\" data-track-prop-label=\"page_type | element_id\" data-track-prop-category=\"Link\" data-track-prop-link=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/articles\/caffeinated-content\" rel=\"noopener\">limited amount of caffeine<\/a>.

So having caffeine on an empty stomach gives it a more potent stimulating effect, which gives me the alertness and clarity I need to start my day right.<\/p>\n<p>If I have coffee later in the day, I likely have at least two good meals in me by then and caffeine&#8217;s excitatory effects may be blunted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Caffeine also works by blocking a sleepiness-promoting molecule called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/articles\/caffeine-crash\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"mbg-track-event\" data-track-event-types=\"click\" data-track-type=\"article-link\" data-track-prop-element-id=\"in-body-link\" data-track-prop-label=\"page_type | element_id\" data-track-prop-category=\"Link\" data-track-prop-link=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/articles\/caffeine-crash\" rel=\"noopener\">adenosine<\/a>.

So a slow and less potent response to caffeine means that I\u2019m still feeling the effects of adenosine.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, I associate coffee with a quiet and calming morning routine. Guzzling down a cup in front of a computer to wake me up is in direct contradiction with how I\u2019ve consumed the beverage for the last decade.
