Interaction guide

Caffeine and sleep timing context

Caffeine timing is a sleep-stack variable, not just a productivity habit, because late or stacked stimulant exposure can make evening calming supplements harder to interpret.

Default spacing rule

Audit total caffeine and keep stimulant products early enough that sleep timing is interpretable before adding melatonin, magnesium, glycine, or calming botanicals.
