Is there such thing as a perfect amount of caffeine or even a perfect time to consume it? For most, the answers are, \u201call of it\u201d and \u201cASAP.\u201d But for the US Government, that lacks the sort of cold, analytic minutiae that really greases the wheels of bureaucracy. But Hermes Conrads of the world, fear not! For the government has created an algorithm to tell you exactly how much caffeine and when to consume it for peak alertness.<\/p>\n
According Science Daily<\/a>, the new coffee maths first appeared in the American Academy for Sleep Medicine<\/a> are the work of Jacques Reifman, Ph.D, a \u201csenior research scientist and director of [the Department of Defense\u2019s] Biotechnology High Performance Computing Software Applications Institute and the Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center at the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command in Ft. Detrick, Maryland.\u201d The algorithm was created specifically increase alertness in \u201csleep loss conditions.\u201d It is based upon testing using \u201cfour previously published experimental studies on sleep loss\u201d and predicted effects of caffeine on psychomotor vigilance task<\/a> performance. Fully automated, the algorithm will take \u201cuser-provided sleep\/wake schedule and maximum allowed caffeine as inputs and provides a caffeine-dosing strategy as the output.\u201d<\/p>\n While the actual algorithm has yet to be made public, Dr. Reifman states that using the algorithm can \u201ccan improve alertness by up to 64 percent, while consuming the same total amount of caffeine,” as well as allow a subject to \u201creduce caffeine consumption by up to 65 percent and still achieve equivalent improvements in alertness.\u201d<\/p>\n This all kinda sounds like the movie Toys<\/em>, but for coffee, trying to use regulated caffeine dosing to make some sort of super soldier. So instead of sitting idly by while the government tries to weaponize coffee, I\u2019m releasing my own caffeine algorithm, which is free for all to use. I call it \u201cDr. Zac\u2019s 100% Feel Good Coffee Algorithm For Optimal Caffeine Consumption,\u201d and it\u2019s quite simple. Just remember: (n<\/em>+1)*t<\/em>, where n<\/em> represents the number of cups of coffee you\u2019ve already consumed and t<\/em> represents the current time of day (in hours, military time). If the answer is a number, any number, then it\u2019s the perfect time to have another cup of coffee.
