In a prospective longitudinal study of 833 adults, we demonstrate that how you wake up and regain alertness in the hours after sleep is weakly associated with your genes. Instead, the modifiable factors of how you are sleeping, eating and exercising influence your return to full alertness, free of sleepiness.
Hah, well I don’t doubt that you do get more alert if you feed your brain sugar via carbs (unless you’re in a state of ketosis, and even then it would probably be a boost). For me, the cons still outweigh the pros.
Yeeehaw, a scientific reason to keep eating bagels in the morning!
