Something I forgot to mention is that I gave up caffeine a month ago. That started with me noticing that I didn't drink coffee until I got to work, which led me to question my need for it. Then I came across a video on the impact of caffeine on blood and oxygen to the brain. Then I began to ponder potential long term effects on the brain and the downstream hormonal and health effects from regular cortisol spikes. Then I went from consuming 5-6 cups of coffee a day to quitting cold turkey. I'm not 100% certain that this was a direct effect of PM, but I suspect the sub contributed.
