Timing Your Caffeine: How to Enjoy an Afternoon Lift Without Losing Sleep
We all know that mid-afternoon slump—the clock strikes 3 p.m., and suddenly, you're craving a little pick-me-up. Reaching for a caffeinated beverage seems like the perfect fix, but did you know that how much caffeine you consume (and when you consume it) can make or break your sleep later on?
Let’s break down what the science says and why alldae is the smart choice for your afternoon refresh.
☕ The Science Behind Caffeine and Sleep
Caffeine works by blocking adenosine—a chemical that helps your brain relax and feel sleepy. While that boost is great during the day, drinking too much caffeine too late can mess with your sleep.
According to this 2023 study published in Nature and Science of Sleep, caffeine consumed in the afternoon and evening significantly reduced total sleep time and efficiency, even in habitual caffeine users. Translation: that afternoon cold brew may be silently sabotaging your sleep schedule.
💡 So, What’s the Fix?
It’s all about the right dose at the right time. Experts recommend wrapping up your caffeine intake at least 6 hours before bedtime—and being smart about how much you’re drinking.
