Use Licorice for Travel Wakefulness

Licorice may be used strategically while traveling to promote wakefulness at a destination because of its cortisol-elevating effects; timing should be managed carefully to avoid creating two cortisol peaks in one day.

I suppose one instance where you might want to use licorice would be if you're traveling and you're trying to wake up at a particular location, because licorice has these effects on cortisol and cortisol is associated with the waking phenomenon and alertness and energy, you could use it in that regard.
