What can you do to not sleep and feel awake without drugs or coffee?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Coffee: Homeostatic sleep drives are regulated by complex factors and Adenosine being one of them, when we are awake, Adenosine builds up and makes us sleepy, coffee blocks Adenosine and makes us awake some people naturally wake up refreshed others may have sleep apnea, may need coffee, tea etc.
