When endurance athletes train, they use
up the glycogen in their muscles, but when bodybuilders train they use
adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which is a whole other fuel source and also a major source
of energy for most cellular functions in a human body.
By sleeping for 20
of those 30 minutes, the amount
of adenosine the caffeine competes with is reduced, so the stimulant provides a bit

up is that while we're awake, neurons in the brain produce
adenosine, a by - product

This explains why regular coffee drinkers build
up a tolerance over time — because you have more
adenosine receptors, it takes more caffeine to block a significant proportion
of them and achieve the desired effect.

up of a sleep chemical called
adenosine.
And, as a result, when we wake
