#4 Forms and Focus Discussion on Caffeine
SUMMARY
80% of Americans drink coffee, a stimulant that can readily cross the blood-brain barrier, and is believed to exert its neurocognitive effects by antagonizing adenosine receptors in the central nervous system. Based on the research, caffeine has some benefits, but if it impacts your sleep, it most likely affects your cognitive function.
At Forms & Focus, our mission is to increase your focus so you can accomplish your dreams. Many of us have dreams and goals. What keeps us from them is our inability to remove distractions and focus. We will accomplish our mission by providing you with guided forms that manifest radical focus.

SHOW NOTES FOR EPISODE #4 Forms and Focus Discussion on Caffeine
PROBLEM
- https://www.sciencedirect.com/ Caffeine is consumed by over 80% of U.S. adults.
- A randomization meta-analysis in up to 415,530 participants by Scientific Reports.
- Caffeine can readily cross the blood-brain barrier, and is believed to exert its neurocognitive effects by antagonizing adenosine receptors in the central nervous system.
- Despite the power to detect very small effects, our meta-analysis provided no evidence for causal long-term effects of habitual coffee consumption on global cognition or memory.
- Caffeine may exaggerate your responses to the stressful events of normal daily life.
- Caffeine notably reduces the time of slow-wave sleep, which is the restful stage of sleep that leaves us feeling refreshed and alert in the morning. Sleep deprivation the following day can cause fatigue and problems with learning, memory, problem-solving, and emotion regulation.
- BIG CONCLUSION: If caffeine affects your sleep, you will struggle to focus.
SOLUTION/HABITS
- If you are going to drink, don't drink past 10:00am
- Try a coffee alternative
- Drink less caffeine on days off to reduce tolerance
