Are You Consuming Your Coffee Correctly? 

The only problem with this is, that I like to drink coffee because it makes me shit well in the morning

I like how you break down all the info into baby talk so we can understand

If it wasn't for the coffee, I'd have no identifiable personality whatsover...

What about us, those who drink coffee cause we love it, not cause we want to stay awake ? :-)

Interesting, i drink a latte every morning not long after waking up, i noticed recently i felt a bit perkier if i skipped my morning coffee. I think this will be the last one for now :-)

I should try to get my mom to watch this. She's a nurse, and since they work twelve hour shifts, she drinks a LOT of coffee

Can you explain allergic reactions in a video?

Through many painfully non-productive days I figured this out. I replaced my morning coffee with a protein/fruit smoothie and green tea at 11:30am and it has made all the difference. Its nice to see a video confirming my theories. The great thing is when I have a day off I drink a coffee and since I haven't had one in a long time I really feel that happy coffee buzz on my day off.

Why can't they be more inclusive. "between 8 & 9 a.m." *Assuming you wake up at what time?! Assuming you sleep how many hours?!*

What is really the effect of violence in Video Games? I personally feel like it doesn't desensitize me to actual violence, but can you guys please answer this?

"You like to drink coffee? Your doing it wrong" ~CrazyRussianHacker

This actually makes so much sense now! I'm a nurse, i start work at 0700 and have coffee at 0730 after handover (over an hour since waking up). I feel more refreshed than when I drink on my rest days straight after i wake up, anywhere between 0900 to 1100. Tis has really changed my mind about what to have for breakfast and at what time! Thanks AS!

I love y'all for thinking of and addressing those of us who don't live and work on a "normal" schedule!

Roses are red Violets are blue I'm in the 301 club and so are you

can you do a video addressing the effects of using a anti depressant in combination with weed?

Hah, three pm is actually when I enjoy a cup of coffee. Sweeeeeeet.

I have a question. How comes, whenever I try to run in my sleep it feels like there are weights dragging me down, causing me to run in slow-mo. I know its to do with sleep paralysis, but I would love to see you do a video on it. Thank you. :)

Question: Why can we consume some meats raw or partially cooked (rare) but not others?

Does this apply to people who don't work a steady 9-5, though? Such as myself, I work third shift, getting to work at 10p and waking up around noon most days.

this is my favorite channel on youtube, it's like smart and funny and has nice pictures for people like me that get bored easily 👌

A question: Why do we get headaches?

This was so clear! you guys are amazing!

Could you do a video on dreams and how even though they can be extremely vivid when you have them and first wake up, you can forget them so easily. Love your channel, I keep telling all my students about it.

I love this channel, usually shared then on my FB! So good info! You could address then, when will be best to drink the last cup of coffee :)

My cortisol must be a troll then, the levels only peek AFTER I smell coffee brewing.

It's tough for 9-5 workers. Anyway I have a nice cup of coffee when I want :P

The circadian rhythm varies from person to person although external stimuli (daylight) affects (and adjusts) it you can't deal with absolute times here since they can vary even in a daylight synchronized state. And then of course there are distortions, especially since modern times (artificial light, we stay up late to watch tv/internet, get up earlier than we would naturaly, jet lags..). So you have to find your own time to drink coffee.

What about 3 am to 5:30 am? Are these times safe? What if you skip a night of sleep, does this change everything or do the same times apply?

Coffee actually makes me really sleepy :/

Is there an absolute hot? (Like absolute zero but in heat)

I have two questions, one if cortisol affects your fight or flight reaction does that mean that coffee can make you more or less brave and two (I read this online somewhere) do you actually see yourself 5x more beautiful then you actually are?

I work overnights from 6-6 so I'm usually asleep for most of the times the cortisol spikes. Does working overnights and virtually avoiding the sun have any distinct effects on this cycle?

Coffee, energy drinks, anything, doesn't ever wake me up...

You should make a video on does trimmin/ cutting your hair increases rate of hair growth

Is being able to whitle inherited or can It be picked up by anyone?

so my usual sleep pattern is sleep 5am and get at 1pm. Are the peeks of my cortisol level affected at all by my sleep pattern or they are standard?

Is it true that you should allow ur phone battery to completely die before recharging ur phone? Or is it just a myth?

You say Cortisol levels go up 50% right after you wake up, but you give no reference to how much they increase during those three times a day they do. How am I supposed to relate those? Also, an I to believe that cortisol increases in people based on the time and not at all in correlation to their sleep patterns? Does my Cortisol go up around 9:00 A.M. if I go to bed at 5:00 A.M. and sleep until noon? We need a little more Science and a little less ASAP, because it is getting to the point where I feel like you are just trying to make quick topical videos and not actually educate or inform. I just feel like you guys should go a bit more in depth because each video brings up one good point, and then blathers on through the rest and only raises questions.

I extremely like the video, man. Very helpful and informative. Thank you very much. It is presented so well too. Great, positive work.

You guys are the best! I am putting together a workshop in which students will analyze the caffeine content of beverages of their choice, and this video will be perfect to include in my intro discussion. Also, it turns out that, just by chance, I do happen to consume my coffee correctly most of the time. Who would have guessed that my kids are doing me a favor by waking me up at 5am? They give me a chance to drink my coffee around 6am so I am alert for my commute. Thanks for all the great videos!

when I wake up I don't think of coffee I think of more sleep It is because I am 11 years old

Interesting to know ;)

Hey guys, I wanna ask why when you're pouring bottled water into a tank. And the opening of the bottle is in the water of the tank, water can't seem to flow. Can you guys answer that please?

I work at night (10 pm to 6 am) and I drink two cup of coffee during my shift, the first one at 11:00 pm and the second one at 3:00 am. What about the effects by drink coffee during the night and not just during the day?

What happens in the morning is your body is using your adrenal capacity to make cortisol. Cortisol helps to raise blood pressure, so when you get up you dont get a drop in brain blood pressure which makes you pass out. Having salt (0.5/1.0 teaspoon dissolved in a glass of water) helps your adrenals. One of the ways your blood pressure rises (aka morning cortisol production) is by changing the ratio of sodium to potassium. So with all this said, please feel free to drink coffee after having your biology supporting cup of saltwater. ENJOI.

I was wondering why coffee doesn't work on some people, like myself. I'll drink coffee, I'll drink five coffee cups, and all I do is get sleepy. Even if I am energetic enough, and just drink some coffee because I like it, it'll make me sleepy. It's not just me, there's a whole community too.

Is it better to drink it with sugar and cream or just plain black cus I'm starting to drink a lot more coffee and I'm 15 and I'm drinking it the way my dad does and that's all black

I have a question about when I should drink coffee,since I have school lunch at about 11:00 should I bring a thermoses and drink it there at lunch?

So this is what being early is like.

Thank you for including the bit about waking up very late or early. I tend to wake up later in the day than most people (around 10AM on a work day) so waiting an hour is much easier to remember than trying to adjust for time of awakening.

wait if your clock is dependent on the sun, what happens when you are getting low amounts of sun exposure I live in a house with no windows in most of the rooms the only time I see sunlight is when I take the dog out or go to school twice a week is this bad?

If you get up 8:00, an hour after that (good) is 9:00 (bad), so does that make it a good or bad time for coffee?

Why do people even start drinking coffee ? Any downsides of not drinking coffee at all ?

Next video can you explain the Charlie Charlie challenge and if it works or it's just our imagination???

What if you force yourself to wake up really early (like for work)? Like you're still sleepy but have to stay awake. What happens to cortisone levels in such a situation?

I wake up at 7am so one hour after that is 8am (entering the cortzole time thing) does that mean the optimum time for me is 2 hours after i wake up?, do I need to wait till after 9 to get maximum effect from coffee?

who's drinking coffee from their butts?

Is there a scienctific reason why we like and dislike certain things?

Can u explain me something? Sometime i drink mocha. I drink it at noon and sometime in the evening and I usually get so hyper after i drink it. Why is this happen?

I wander how your fears get started?? I got scared of clowns when I was 3 & thunderstorms at 8. I like to know. maybe u can explain that to me.

yes but what about times past 11:00 pm?

Why does sleep paralysis happen

Funny thing is its 9 AM and I am watching this video while drinkg my hazelnut cofee xD

does decaffeinated coffee have the same effect on your body? or does decaffeinated not do anything to your body?

I quit drinking coffee about 5 weeks ago and I feel much more energetic than before. I'm not sleepy at school anymore and my eyelid twitching has stopped too. It was one of the best decisions I've made in my life.

Yep. Im consuming it right. By not drinking it.

Do you have sources for the information in the video, I would love to read more.

Can you drink coffee before or after a meal?

How accurate is this, really? I mean, doesn't a person's peak vary by their internal clock? More specifically, wouldn't it be different for people based on the time they awaken? If one person normally woke at 5:00, another woke at 6:00, another at 7:00, and so forth, wouldn't that mean they had different peak periods? If someone starts their day at 2:00 or 3:00 am and finishes their work day by 11:00 am, wouldn't they have a different peak period than someone who starts their work day at 9:00 or 10:00 am? I normally have a very early work shift and am often finished before most people even start their work day. It sounds to me like you are basing this on a very specific wake up time and work day, which really is misinforming people whose lives don't fall into that pattern. If you were more general, or rather more specific, in your terms by saying something like "a person's peak period begins when they wake, lasts for an hour and repeats every three hours", this would be a statement that would be more measurable and infinitely more useful to the general populace. I thank you for your endeavors. I just wish they were more flexible so I could apply them to my life.

If you built a giant ring over the ecuator at the same distance or the floor would it stay floating once you remove the supports?(sorry for my poor english, I'm not native)

How do you make your videos? Do you use new markets every time? What camera do you use?

"But what if I told you you've been drinking your coffee incorrectly this entire time?" Me: "What are you, Buzzfeed?"

Why do we squint or scrunch up our faces in the sun?? I was on holiday and i noticed that I was doing it subconsciously, and so were the people around me but the locals who lived in the hot climate didnt seem to be (i live in london which isnt a very hot or sunny climate at times). Also, when i noticed, i tried to stop but i couldnt because the sun was too bright so why do we do this??? its been baffling me all day and i couldnt stop thinking about it please help!!

I have a question. I saw your effect of sitting video and I am relay interested to know the effects of laying down.

What if you work graveyard 9pm-6am? I don't drink a lot of caffeine if I do it's typically during lunch to get me through the last half of my shift

where can i find the study to read there work,

what is the diffrence bettween going outside during the daytime than going at night

Will that second increase in cortisol happen at 1 PM no matter what time I wake up? So if I want to drink two cups of coffee and so I wake up at 9 am, I should have one at 10 am and 1 pm?

Hey, I was wondering, does coffee really make you shorter, or have any of those rumored side effects?

What would we do with all the Oil found/dug up, if it didn't get burnt or used for machines/vehicles and what not?

How can we hear ourselves and other noises in our thoughts? (I am not insane :| )

Wow, this is pretty interesting. I've been drinking one cup of coffee (about an hour after waking up) every morning for the past 10 years and I've never felt like I'm dependent on caffeine the way some of my co-workers are when I see them arrive to work at 8 AM, looking like 0:55, and making a beeline to the kitchen for that pot of coffee that the secretary made that morning.

I have a question, why after it rains does it smell so fresh outside?

Hi! Your videos are awesome! Very creative! =D I do have a question... I work at night and usually have trouble sleeping during the day... How do I cope up with this in a scientific way? although I know that working at night and trying to sleep during the day is against the usual flow, but I really have to work... Please help... Thanks!

ahaah well coffee is the reason why im up this late when i have school tmr (12:50am) I really love AsapSCIENCE ur videos are really good and very helpful. luv ya guys

Does this depend on what time you are sleeping and waking up?

What about green tea? it does have some caffeine, but not as much coffee. I'm freezing like crazy in the mornings and really want something warm to drink right away. Is it bad to have a cup of green tea and then coffee after 10 am?

After an intense workout or game, is it best to run the next morning or give yourself a day off?

@asapscience how does clorogenetic acid affects the coffee bean? bc its produced in the green bean but i want to know the % how it affects in the cup??

When we get wounds like cuts, why does it leave a lighter skinned color line or dot? Aka a scar.

I have an interesting question "showering at night or in the morning right after you wake up?

Just a question would it be better to set two days off a week I.e. Tuesday and Thursday for school work throughout the day with well timed breaks or end each day semi early around 3 or 4 and do school work after then?

Why do we feewarm and fuzzy inside right after or while talking to someone you love? Plz answer this

Hey AsapSCIENCE! Great video, thanks for sharing. But one thing did jump out at me. You mentioned all the other times throughout the day which cortisol levels are active/released, due to the presence of sunlight/daylight? I work in sort of a basement area, with no windows (only florecent lighting)...is this affecting my natural cortisol levels? Sometimes I do go for a second up for coffee during the day (double shot even) but I try never to have more than 2 short blacks!

When I had a job last summer, I often found midday was the time I would become extremely sleepy and I needed an energy drink to keep going.

As the summer holiday season is here and many people travel abroad can you guys make a video about coping with different time zones (like how to adjust with them quickly and avoid being sleepy during the day, etc.)? Thanks!

Question: What exactly is wind and where does it come from?

When I drink Coffee (Over 250ml (1 Cup) doesn't make me Hyper but makes me well... Nice and sleepy but in some cases ill not be able to fall asleep but it is the same the same day before when i didnt drink coffee is their any times like that or is it im immuned to it?

So if cortisol production is affected by sunlight, what's the best time to drink coffee in the summer?

I got a question, how do you study effectively? :) Im having exams (dont judge, I'm taking my break now!)
