Caffeine is such an interesting drug

It’s got so many purported cognitively enhancing effects, but there has been so little delineation of the context of those effects both in research and in application

For example: if you’re well rested, not sleep deprived, and consume a moderate amount of caffeine (~100mg) while having no previous tolerance (aka no caffeine in last 7-10 days)… you will absolutely experience both physical and mental performance benefits

But - if you ARE sleep deprived, and are currently tolerant (say, daily consumer for past 10 days), even if you consume a significant amount (200mg+), you will become more alert but will probably NOT experience performance enhancing effects

Those are completely different outcomes! And the outcome that yields no results is at double the dosage!!! 

It’s so important that if you’re consuming caffeine as a performance enhancer you learn the intricacies of its effects and your bodies response

Social enjoyers do whatever you want lol

Highly addictive. Never needed to know more than that. Never used and don’t plan on it

For reference, cocaine and methamphetamine are even better performance enhancers than nicotine

What are your thoughts on nicotine as a cognitive booster? You ever experiment with it for that purpose

Yes but in caffeines defense it is very easy to control intake so that tolerance doesn’t build up

seems to behave like any addictive drug. the first show gives you the higher "benefit" but if you are used to it, even doubling the dose will not give the same initial sensation. this is why chronic drug addicted always try to increase the dose to feel better.
