It's a typical day on the road. Your plane got in late the night before, and since the business day to come is jam-packed with meetings, you figure you'll spend an extra 20 minutes in bed instead of eating breakfast. After all, you can always down some coffee while putting on your make-up. By the way, is Jane the only one who is flabbergasted that hotels so often put coffeemakers in the bathroom? Sure, it's close to a water source. But, Jane asks, would you choose to position your coffeemaker in your bathroom? But Jane digresses. Her point is this: Caffeine alone will not get you through the morning. Your brain and your nervous system need non-caffeinated fuel to get your engine running, especially after an eight to 12 hour "fast" (that's why it's call breakfast, after all). If you don't supply that fuel through food, you'll run out of gas during the day. Simply put, you need to eat within an hour of waking up.
