Yes, I was using the word "morning" loosely. I throw myself on the mercy of the grammar police. To me, the "morning" is the first half of the day, the 8 hours of work+chores+gym before I eat lunch. There's two issues with caffeine for me : performance dip and sleep interference. If I drink a cup of coffee, I feel the boost but when it wears off, I feel a performance dip. Perhaps I am more sensitive to this than average, I don't care what the exact reason is. I can't comment on how this compares to speed or other drugs, I'm relatively straight edge. It's a relatively mild down, but enough to impact my performance. So, my inclination is to re-up caffeine to stave off the downswing, which cannot continue past lunch due to the impact on my sleep. So, that is why I comment on how it's only useful in the "morning". Different people have wildly different metabolisms, body compositions and reactions to drugs - I tend to be very sensitive to drugs... I got pulled over for suspected DUI once and blew a 0.03 :]
