It improves reaction time of the Mind. Its also True that in some people
it does the exact opposite,like me.

if i step away from games for 5 days and go back to them i'm top stuff. maybe 3 hours later i have a hard time finding that guy with the sniper rifle.

just like if i drink caffeine i'm a sleep 30 minutes later.
