When to drink coffee for maximum energy boost and best sleep - you are doing it wrong!

Did you know, that … “Drinking coffee first thing in the morning does not wake you up, make you alert, or give you an energy boost. All it does, according to science, is raise your tolerance for caffeine so that you need to drink more and more of it to feel any effects at all. When you are about to wake up, your body releases stimulants to get your juices flowing and your heart pumping: a brew of hormones including insulin, adrenaline, and cortisol. Like most of our organs and glands, the adrenal gland (producer of adrenaline and cortisol) has a biological clock of its own. It carefully maintains the cortisol rhythm, a few cycles of releasing and suppressing the fight-or-flight hormone over the course of the day. • If you drink coffee when cortisol level is high, the effects are nonexistent. Compared to cortisol, caffeine is weak tea. The only thing coffee does for you within two hours of waking is to increase your tolerance for caffeine. • If you drink coffee when cortisol level is low, caffeine gently nudges your adrenals to give you a hit of adrenaline, and you will feel more awake and alert. Scientific research and bio-time have provided a very clear schedule for coffee breaks to coincide with cortisol level dips.” THE WORST TIME TO HAVE COFFEE Within two hours of waking. Within six hours of bedtime, especially if you have sleep problems and lots of stress THE BEST TIME TO HAVE COFFEE After two hours of waking. Between 2-3 PM. Especially before you afternoon nap to wake up extra focused, alert and ready to rock the world!!! Questions? Want me to talk about your confusions?
