Caffeine Awareness: How Caffeine Affects Your Sleep
Your daily coffee ritual is comforting, energizing, and delicious. But have you ever noticed that your afternoon latte keeps you tossing and turning at night? You’re not imagining it. Research shows caffeine can have a much bigger impact on sleep than many of us realize.
The Science Behind It
Studies published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine found that only 2-3 cups of coffee (400 mg of caffeine) consumed up to 6 hours before bedtime can significantly reduce total sleep time. In other words, that 2 pm coffee break could still be keeping your body alert when its time to start winding down for bed.
Other research shows caffeine can:
-
Cut total sleep time by 45 minutes
-
Delay falling asleep by nearly 10 minutes
-
Increase nighttime wake-ups
-
Reduce deep, restorative sleep that helps you feel refreshed
Even if you feel tired, caffeine can keep your brain in “alert mode” long after your last cup.
