The day is done.
We're just getting started.
The last show.
Do you drink coffee to stay sharp, focused, and in control?
I certainly do.
But what if that late night cup you're grabbing secretly is doing the opposite of those things?
It's nudging your brain towards impulsive, reckless decisions.
Even fruit flies lose their cool when they're given coffee.
Let's discuss all of this with biology professor at the University of Texas, El Paso, Kyung-An Han.
Kay, welcome to the show.
Now, caffeine, using it to stay up late at work, to try to be focused.
Is that a good idea?
Did we think that was a good idea going into your study?
Okay.
So let's talk about it.
Let's talk about our favorite drug.
We use it to stay sharp.
It might be good at doing that, but what else is it doing to us?
That's interesting.
So impulsiveness for a fruit fly is like being more dangerous with predators, not flying properly when there's wind.
