How long do you have to stop drinking coffee before your adenosine receptors reset?

[Violentos]

If you drink coffee every day, you fill your adenosine receptors with caffeine and your body creates more open adenosine receptors, making it harder and harder to feel the effects of the caffeine.

Does anyone know how fast these adenosine receptors disappear if you cease caffeine consumption? Is it advised to stop drinking for say a week or so maybe to start feeling the effects of caffeine once more?

Nobody has any idea? I attempted to search google for the answer, but couldn't find much.

Adenosine = a central nervous system neuromodulator (like PinkRose)

Receptor = a membrane receptor protein that is activated by a neurotransmitter (in this case, by adenosine).... but who understand this kind of stuff, right?

Adenosine + receptors = Slow down of neural activity. which means you will feel sleepy (dilates blood vessels & provide oxygenation while sleeping)

Caffeine = Adversary to (adenosine+receptors) (like topher, in some occasions) that produces more adrenalin which increase your attention level and give you extra burst of energy.

Generally speaking, you get stimulating effects from coffee, but tolerance you build up is minimal, however, it can create physical dependency (mainly of headaches, nausea and sleepiness). THIS CAN HAPPEN AS EARLY AS TWO DAYS AFTER NOT DRINKING COFFEE.
however, as soon as you drink coffee again, immediately, you will feel the effects of adrenalin. The Enemy of Adenosine+receptors are back again in full force.

However, the effects will be different from person to person, due to their genetics, other physiology factors, and tolerance. But the caffeine is not as simple in effect as a direct stimulant, such as cocaine because its effect on your body & mind is far more subtle.

Violentos said that "how fast for Adenosine and receptors disappear after if cease your caffeine consumption?"
I do not think that PinkRose and Topher are going anywhere, just kidding.
Adenosine and receptors will never disappear. they are part of neuro system in our body. Just caffeine binds to receptors to partially disable its functions in our body system. Again, it will be different from each person, somewhat similar to the effects of alcohol to a person. I do not think that anyone can give you a definite answer on your question.

thanks
