Glucose is the main source of energy of the brain. It is converted to ATP inside the brain.

However, the brain cells (neurons) themselves use some glucose.

The other glucose is first metabolized and converted to "Lactate" by cells inside the brain called "Astrocytes".

The lactate produced will then enter the neurons and then is converted to ATP.

How to program energy to make things done It is energy of our brains that puts the muscles in motion and does the work Muscles are mechanical part of us How to program the energy What is technique?

Ok, here is the explanation of the question (the stupid question limitations didn't let me do it above):It is energy of our brains that puts the muscles in motion and does the work. Muscles are just mechanical part of us.How to program the energy? Any special technique? Mantras?For example: some people are capable of programming their brains to wake them up at 4:00 AM. Then they go to sleep, they do not use an alarm clock, and at 4:00 they're awaken. So, apparently the energy of their brains does the work even when they asleep.
