Pros & Cons of Daily Caffeine Consumption

Hello Dr. Huberman. I am unable to determine if caffeine consumption is having a net positive impact on my life. I understand the benefits (increased dopamine receptor density, increased alertness, etc...) but after a few weeks of consumption, the negatives start to outweigh the positive ones (poor quality sleep, lack of appetite, anxiety, etc...). When I don't consume caffeine, I find it a lot easier to be mindful and my meditation practice is much better, but I am lethargic and less motivated. For years I have been "on and off" caffeine and I can't determine which is better. What is your opinion on the net benefit of daily caffeine consumption and how can someone determine if daily caffeine consumption is right for them?

Northern Winter Morning Sunlight Exposure

Do you have suggestions on what to do for those of us who live in the northern hemisphere where the sun doesnt rise until late late morning, many hours after I’m actually getting up. Do you suggest one of those bright SAD lamps?

Women 30 Day Cycles

I know you talk a lot about 24 hour day cycles, but how does this change or affect women that work on 30 day cycles based on their hormones? It would be great to have someone on to talk about how to adjust exercise, creativity, focus, etc. based on a female cycle.
