Indicated window
Daytime / Early evening. Perfect wake-and-bake or afternoon creative session. Too energizing for late night use for some people.
Starts with a dreamy, cerebral rush that lifts mood and sparks creativity. Within 15-20 minutes, a gentle body relaxation settles in without heaviness. You stay functional and social — it's the 'get things done while feeling great' strain. Many describe it as the perfect balance: your mind floats while your body stays grounded.
