8:02 Caffeine doesn’t do anything quickly. It doesn’t hit you quickly and it doesn’t leave quickly. So you don’t really get an energy crash from the energy alone. Most of the time, it’s because you were exhausted before and the caffeine kind of revives you. And then you’re crashing because you’re going back to being how tired you were before. Or you’re crashing because there was a lot of sugar in the drink.
