I finally fixed my morning brain fog with a $12 bag of black sesame seeds

Was dealing with that slow waking up feeling for like 2 years. Tried all the expensive matcha powders and mushroom blends (you know, the ones influencers push). Nothing worked. Then my grandma told me to just eat a spoonful of black sesame seeds every morning. Been doing it for 6 weeks now and I'm actually alert before 9am for the first time since college. Anyone else have a super cheap food hack that beat out the pricey supplements?

@ruby659, placebo or not, who cares if it works? Black sesame seeds are like $4 a bag at my local Asian market, so even if it's all in my head, my wallet is thanking me. I tried those $40 mushroom powders once and felt nothing but lighter in the bank account. Honestly, grandma's cheap hacks usually beat the influencer stuff every time.

Maybe it's just placebo effect from wanting grandma to be right.

6 weeks isn't that long though. Could just be the weather changing or sleeping better.
