Where would we be without coffee? No seriously, is there any other drink that could give us that great caffeine boost and taste so good? Starting the day without a cup or two is unthinkable.
The thing is, the boost runs out and your find yourself needing another one, and then another one. If I have to work late and know that I must finish before I can even think of going home, those caffeine drinks are a necessity to make sure I get through it.
Resisting caffeine late at night is the hardest part. There’s nothing quite like a coffee to round off a meal in a restaurant, and this is the hardest one for me to say no to.
It is recommended that if you want to go to bed at a decent time and have a good night’s sleep, you must avoid all kind of caffeine in the evening. Scientific facts seem to back up these claims.
The experts have told us that caffeine will be in your system up to 10 hours after you last consume it. If this information is correct, we shouldn’t be drinking any caffeine any later than the afternoon. Everyone is different obviously, but this is the average time that they go off.
I don’ t know if you have ever notice, but those who take sugar experience what can only be described as a crash. The odd thing is that this crash might actually aid sleep.
As we are all different, we have really have to work out for ourselves where our cut off point is. This is easily done by having a drink a bit later every day.
Make sure you do this carefully though in stages. Don’t jump straight to having your last coffee at 8pm. If this keeps you up all night you will have to drink it all the next day just to stay awake.
