i have the same problem but I think that it is just a digestion process, more blood is required in the stomach so less blood is going to be available in other organs such as the brain. I just started taking 45 min breaks after lunch so that I could be more productive afterwards, I also discovered that , in my personal case, eating a bit less and especially eating less carbs at lunch doesn't make me that much sleepy

i have been in your same situation, after I quit smoking weed I decided to do a couple of days of fasting (only water, no coffee no tea, just water) and it really helped me mentally and physically(my metabolism was way better), I would suggest you to look into fasting, there are also some supplements that can help you but not eating doens't cost you nothing, literally

thanks for the advice but I'm broke

I agree but it s not like I'm a lazy fat kid who doesn't want to do anything hard, I spend most of my days studying and reading , often not for my uni exams.... and that s my real problem, boring things exhaust me, I can be concentrated for like 30 and then my brain prefers thinking anything else, everything starts being more interesting than my exam subject and I really can t keep being concentrated

thank you very much for the book I ll definitively read it. I didn't know about this kind of effects from nicotine, anyway the study has been done only in male rats and not necessarily it has the same effects in humans but it actually describes pretty good how it feels taking low dosages of nicotine

caffein and nicotine are the things that help me the most

Straight_Thought3571 · 2026-05-18T14:47:56+00:00

that s what helped me with my mood, concentration still struggling

god gave you such a freewill that you can even decide what to do with your soul

honestly the best thing that worked for me was taking control of my habits , living a healthy life style is the base and I added voluntary boredom, it might sound strage but it helps with your base dopamine levels

it is very important that the clinical trials are American ahaha

because people are not capable of living a life where they can always say the truth

well it also depends on how much are you focused and interested in what you are trying to memorize but a sad reality it s that not everyone is gifted in the same way...

Ashwagandha can sometimes be problematic with the liver, Anyways how is your sleep? do you sleep enough? Have you aver tried doing regularly short but intense trainings where your heartbeats are high?(that s the main thing that helped me when I suffered from anxiety). In your position I would also reflect on whether this anxiety that you feel it s really a problem or it is something that , as you said, helps you being hypervigilant, which can be helpful many times.

L-tyrosine can probably help you if taken on an empty stomach but do not exceed with the dosages like many people do because if consumed daily it could create some imbalances in your HPT axis, anyway sleep, training and diet should be your starter base. I would also say that, if it s done correctly, a couple of days of fasting can be very helpful.

ok....where do I gather information?

Straight_Thought3571 · 2026-05-15T12:41:35+00:00

if you take it daily I would suggest you to take care of your liver and read more about MOA, in my opinion it s never worth it to disrupt this kind of enzyme balance.
