On the topic of diet.. I switched to carnivore (mostly red meat). I tend to have one big steak a day. I don't feel sleepy until 8-9pm.

There are days that I KNOW I won't have time to eat, and those days I either fast completely or I start my day with a (Bulk.com - not affiliated) hydrobeef protein shake (2 scoops). Those days I feel steadily energized 8am-8pm as if I've had 2 espressos.

I find it all to be in the food. I remember listening on Huberman Lab that caffeine doesn't give you energy, it merely 'blocks fatigue' (which means fatigue is still there - just suppressed).

Decent sleep and food that doesn't hurt you is the only way to thrive.

Sleep and food are essential to our life while caffeine isn't in my opinion. Interesting, my friend also told me about carnosine that can be found in red meat, would that be a reason contributes to your energy? Diet indeed is another intriguing topic to dive deep into.
