The relationship between coffee and insomniaCoffee is a common drink that is widely loved and consumed. However, for me, coffee has become a problem of insomnia. Every time I drink a cup of strong and mellow coffee, the night becomes long and restless. Effects of caffeine on sleepTo understand why drinking coffee can cause insomnia, we first need to understand its main ingredient, caffeine. As a stimulant, caffeine can excite the central nervous system and inhibit the secretion of adenosine by glands. This causes people to feel energetic and alert after consuming large amounts of caffeine. However, consuming too much caffeine before bed can have negative effects. Studies have shown that it takes several hours for the body to metabolize the caffeine it consumes within a half-life of about 5-6 hours. This means that if you drink a cup of coffee containing more than 100 mg (about 1 standard cup of coffee) in the evening, it may cause difficulty falling asleep and reduce the quality of sleep. How your body reacts to caffeineIn addition to the amount of caffeine consumed, individual physical characteristics also affect how you react to caffeine. Some people may be more sensitive and feel excited and sleepless even after consuming a small amount of caffeine. Others are relatively tolerant and need higher doses to produce similar effects. In addition, factors such as age, health status and medication use can also affect an individual's sensitivity to caffeine. Older people and those with cardiovascular disease or anxiety disorders are more likely to experience insomnia symptoms due to caffeine stimulation. How to reduce insomnia caused by drinking coffeeIf you suffer from problems like me where you can’t fall asleep after drinking coffee or wake up frequently during the night, the following suggestions may help you alleviate this problem:
ConclusionFor me, unlike most people, drinking a cup of strong and fragrant coffee does not bring me pleasure and refreshment. Instead, it only brings me insomnia and pain. By understanding the impact of caffeine on sleep and the differences in individual constitutions, I have learned to control my coffee intake and take other measures to alleviate insomnia. I hope these experiences and suggestions can also help others who face similar problems. |
