Beyond Caffeine: A Critique of the Nootropic Obsession Among Young Adults

A reflective opinion piece critiquing the modern obsession with nootropics, caffeine, and quick-fix supplements as solutions for sleep deprivation, lethargy, and low motivation. The author uses the film "Limitless" as a cultural reference point to discuss how young adults (particularly Gen Z) are turning to cognitive enhancers rather than addressing fundamental lifestyle issues like sleep, diet, and exercise. The piece argues that supplementation should support the body's ideal state, not compensate for neglect.
