    Your brain is a kindergarten, your executive function is the kindergarten teacher (who had 3 hours sleep and skipped breakfast).

    Giving them all a couple of donuts won’t make much difference to the kids who are already feral, but it will pep up the teacher and allow them to take charge a bit better.

      The way I’ve always thought about it:

      You’re listening to music at a party, but there’s lots of people around you talking so you keep getting distracted.

      Stimulants turn the music up, so the sound of talking disappears.
