Coffee makes you sleepy?!
from The Lab DoctoRs Hosted by The Lab DoctoRs
Have you ever felt the hit of wakefulness right after drinking coffee, but slowly start to feel tired and sleepy as the day wears on? This week we discuss the paradox of caffeine and the science behind this phenomenon, particularly, the involvement of adenosine and ATP. We veer off-topic to talk about caffeine- (and nap-)induced headaches then circle back to how to optimize your coffee-drinking experience. TLDR: As with most things, caffeine should be consumed in moderation. If it no longer has an effect on you, consider taking a break then try to only drink coffee when you really need a boost.
