If your caffeinated beverage of choice is also a sugary one, this can exacerbate the peak and crash feeling. The impact of a coffee right out of bed might not seem as powerful for this reason. This might mean caffeine feels more effective later in the morning, because you already have a natural rise in cortisol when you wake up. This is what staves off the drowsy feeling.Ĭaffeine can also raise levels of cortisol, a stress hormone that can make you feel more alert. Instead it just fills the spots and stops the adenosine from binding there. But it is not so similar that it triggers the drowsy slow-down signal like adenosine does. It works by binding to the adenosine receptor, which it can do because it is a similar shape. If you are still feeling drowsy when you wake up caffeine can help, for a while. You wake up in the morning feeling refreshed. While we are sleeping, energy use drops lowering adenosine levels as it gets shuffled back into other forms. This is why you feel tired after a big day of activity. As we go about our days and do things, levels of adenosine rise because it is released as a by-product as energy is used in our cells.Įventually adenosine binds to its receptor (parts of cells that receive signals) which tells the cells to slow down, making us feel drowsy and sleepy. ![]() Getting busy, getting tiredĪdenosine is part of the system that regulates our sleep and wake cycle and part of why high levels of activity lead to tiredness.
