Ask HN: How do you control your physiology for peak performance? 6 points by notoriousarun 4y ago ↗ HN
[–] Shared404 4y ago ↗ Not doing this now, but in the past I've not used any caffeinated products, unless I know I will need it for an upcoming activity.This allows me to gain the full benefit and avoid building a tolerance.

[–] gregjor 4y ago ↗ What does “peak performance” mean? Doesn’t that depend on what you perform?I always perform at the “peak” I am capable of at the time. I don’t attempt to “control” my physiology, not sure what that even means.
