Stimulants create a high in the body, which is eventually followed by a low. That means a stimulant creates an emergency in the body as it interferes with its natural balance, therefore it creates a spike in a certain parameter like high blood sugar or in the case of caffeine it spikes the adrenaline/cortisol levels.
The body is forced to gather its resources into dealing with this stress factor. Isn’t that interesting, that a stimulant from the body’s perspective is a stress factor? Usually the body can deal with a stress factor easily, however it does need energy to do so and naturally afterwards it is a bit depleted and needs time to regenerate and build up its resources again.
