Public service announcement on caffeine


This is short;  if you want to know how much coffee to drink and when to drink it for maximum zip and bravado, as well as being wide-awake, read this:

New algorithm determines ideal caffeine dosage and timing for alertness
Paragraph to peruse: "The study used a validated mathematical model, which predicts the effects of sleep loss and caffeine on psychomotor vigilance task (PVT) performance and combined it with a computationally efficient optimization algorithm to determine when and how much caffeine to consume to safely maximize alertness during sleep loss. The algorithm takes a user-provided sleep/wake schedule and maximum allowed caffeine as inputs and provides a caffeine-dosing strategy as the output."
If you aren't a bit drowsy now after reading that, I'm surprised.  Pass me the sugar.
