No protein

Don't drink water

Drink coffee immediately

The body produces high levels of the stress hormone cortisol between 8 and 9 a.m., according to one study. Drinking coffee during this time will force your body to produce more cortisol in the morning. This hormone helps you stay active and energetic throughout the day. However, it completely affects your body at night.
