The US military uses algorithms to determine the most effective time to drink coffee for each person

Instead of relying on purely human scientific studies, the US military now also applies computer algorithms to accurately calculate the time it takes to drink coffee daily for each person so that the effects of caffeine are given. max out with the least amount of coffee to drink.

According to research by US military experts, the algorithm can help drinkers increase 64% of alertness but do not need to drink more coffee than usual. And the key point here is the time to drink coffee in a planned way . These timelines are optimized for each person's condition, allowing for a sober peak, but the amount of coffee to drink is only 35% of normal.

In more detail, the researchers put the newly developed algorithm into existing models such as predicting insomnia, work schedules and alert effects of caffeine to each person during the time periods in day. And of course, the end result is the optimal time and amount of coffee to drink for each individual.

2B-Alert - a tool to predict the level of alertness based on the amount of caffine and sleep of each person.

"We have developed algorithms that can work together," said Jaques Reifman, director of the US Army's Advanced Biotechnology and Applied Biotechnology Application Institute . detail to individual, help determine when and how much caffeine they need to load to achieve maximum performance at the desired time, for the desired time period ".

Not only does it work in the military, but this technology will be widely available online. Reifman's team plans to integrate the aforementioned algorithm deep into an existing online tool, 2B-Alert , a tool that predicts alertness based on each person's caffine and sleep. The team hopes that by the end of the year, this algorithm will help the 2B-Alert tool determine exactly when users drink coffee the best.

At that time, it is not only soldiers but students who need to stay up late to review, siblings who work in the office or countless others can make the most of the effectiveness of coffee. and the most scientific. And even so, remember, don't overdo it in coffee because a lot of research has shown that there is another way to stay alert. A study in 2011 showed that people exercising from 150 minutes a week sleep better and less drowsy during the working day.
