Drinking coffee after dinner can hinder a good night’s sleep.
Coffee contains a lot of caffeine, which is a stimulant. It’s great to give you that jolt of energy in the morning, but that’s all it should be suitable for. Drinking coffee late in the day keeps the caffeine in your system for much longer, so don’t have your last coffee of the day at least five hours before bedtime. Studies have shown that even those who fall asleep with a coffee cup in their system are less likely to have a restful sleep. The brain is still on overdrive, so even after eight hours of sleep, you will feel tired the next day.
