I found out I'm a slow caffeine metabolizer.

I like coffee, a lot. I need a few sips to feel like a person in the morning, but that's it (totally a mental/addiction thing). I enjoy the taste and experience of the beverage, but it doesn't do anything for me.

I found out its in my DNA. Genetically, I'm a slow caffeine metabolizer. I can probably stand to lose 10-20lbs, so that extra weight is affecting my metabolic rate too. I don't exercise enough, so that slows it down more as well.

For a few reasons I don't feel the need to try Modafinil, but an alternative to caffeine would probably work wonders for other people like me.
