Research confirms that the timing of your morning coffee makes a big difference to your well-being and wakefulness. While coffee can indeed help you wake up thanks to its energizing properties, drinking it at the wrong time can cause unwanted effects.
Express writes about this.
The ideal time to drink coffee, according to expert Rex Isap, is based on the average Briton’s waking cycle. He recommends drinking your first cup of coffee an hour after waking up to avoid possible negative effects on the body.
At the moment of awakening, the level of the hormone cortisol reaches its peak, which makes the body more prepared for action. Drinking caffeine at this time can increase emotional arousal and cortisol levels, which can lead to feelings of anxiety or nervousness.
Therefore, by waiting an hour after waking up, you give your body time to naturally reduce cortisol levels, allowing caffeine to work more effectively without negative side effects.
Thus, by following the recommendations of the study, you can enjoy your morning coffee with a clear conscience and maximum benefits for your body and wakefulness.
