When used properly, coffee can be most effective in improving alertness, increasing concentration and reducing fatigue.
To do this, you can try some of the following ways:
- When to drink coffee: Coffee works best if you drink it in the morning, when your body needs a little “wake-up”. Avoid drinking coffee right after waking up, because your body has already produced cortisol (stress hormone) to naturally wake you up. The ideal time is about 30 minutes to 1 hour after waking up.
- Drink in moderation: Coffee helps increase energy and alertness, but if you drink too much, you may feel anxious or restless. About 1-2 cups of coffee a day is enough to feel the effects without causing side effects.
- Avoid drinking coffee late in the day: Caffeine in coffee can disrupt your sleep if you drink it too late. To ensure a good night’s sleep, avoid drinking coffee at least 6 hours before going to bed.
- Try different types of coffee: Each type of coffee has different levels of caffeine. You can try milder coffees like Arabica or find a coffee that suits your body.
- Combine with a healthy diet: Coffee works better when you have a nutritious diet, so don’t forget to add vitamins, minerals and protein.
With these habits, you will feel the optimal effect of coffee without feeling sleepy or tired.
