0:00.0	There's been a lot of controversy over the last few months.
0:03.3	The internet's been ablaze with speculation.
0:05.9	I think it's important to get it up top.
0:08.6	What is happening with the state of the Adenosine system research
0:11.8	within the first 90 minutes of the It accumulates with the number of hours that you're awake. So the longer you're awake the more
