Regularly consuming coffee can cause issues with your normal sleep patterns, especially if you're enjoying a pick-me-up cup in the afternoon. One study evaluated 197 high school students, a mixed amount of users with moderate caffeine intake reported early morning awakening and daytime sleepiness compared to a group that drank lower amounts of caffeine. While there are a lot of health benefits to drinking coffee on the regular, keeping your daily coffee intake to a minimum-and in the morning-can help with your sleep patterns at night.
Although one controlled study showed that drinking 100 milligrams of caffeine between every hour to five hours did not cause increased heart rates, drinking a significant amount can lead to an altered heartbeat rhythm. Although it would take a significant amount of caffeine intake to do so. Ever experience the shakes after too many cups of coffee? This can actually be defined as a caffeine overdose, which Healthline states can cause headaches, jitters, difficulty sleeping, and as we already mentioned, an increased heart rate. If you're experiencing any of these severe warning signs you're drinking too much coffee, you should seek medical attention.
It's natural to turn to coffee-or other forms of caffeine-when you're feeling tired. But did you know consuming too much caffeine can actually have a negative effect? Especially if it includes added sugars. In a study published by Innovations in Clinical Neuroscience, where participants were given certain amounts of caffeinated beverages for energy, drinking caffeinated beverages-especially with sugar-on a regular basis did cause mental fatigue for participants. While this is common for caffeine to cause decreased energy levels as it wears off, it's best to time it for when you plan on sleeping-instead of turning to more coffee to keep you awake. Because disrupted sleep later will cause even more fatigue throughout the day, creating a vicious cycle.
