1. Post-wake. High or low sugar-demand states will result from different hormonal cascades ( thyroid hormones, circadian hormones ) hence some people are "morning" people, others are less so.
IMPORTANT : ensure high sugar-demand. This means shooting protein, and engaging in musculo-skeletal resistance, preferably prior to any caffeine therapy, or calorie loading.
2. High-demand state : moderate intake of fast carbs should be ok ; caffeine therapy should have the same effect, of raising blood sugar ; simply drinking water can drop blood sugar lower and may help to trigger glucagon. Slowing down carbs by mixing with fats can help. Ensuring carbs are always accompanied by protein also assists in reducing muscle-loss.
RISK : carb speeding ... causing sugar crashes.

3. Frequency of stimulus : if you have enough executive function to get up for a drink of water, snack, or caffeine therapy, then you have enough EF to do the more important thing before sitting back down : doing enough exercise to cause your body to spike its breath rate ... I find lifting heavy weights helps : or simply squatting ( this is trendy in soc med ).
