Focus
I'm researching how various substances and techniques effect focus (and to a lesser extent energy/will).

- ginsing
- yerba mate
Substance
Caffeine
Decent boost. 30 minute delay. I've built up a certain immunity.
Ginko
Initial research looks promising - scientific studies have shown it to be more effective than placebo. Tolerance is developed so use sparingly.
Technique
Nap
Fairly effective. Runs a risk that I won't get up. Best if combined with something like coffee before hand. Make sure you're not dehydrated - that significantly increases the odds you won't get up. I need to try combining this with SleepBot.
