Ever feel like you need a gallon of coffee just to get through the morning? ☕️Or maybe you rely on that afternoon energy drink to power through the day. But what if your caffeine crutch is actually making it harder to get a good night’s sleep? Caffeine is a sneaky little stimulant that can mess with your sleep cycle in a big way. While it gives you a temporary energy boost, it can linger in your system for hours – up to 12 for some people. Research shows that caffeine consumed just 6 hours before bedtime can seriously disrupt sleep, even reducing it by over an hour. Yikes! TOO little sleep causes a disruption in regulation of hormones resulting in fat burn not happening. Cortisol levels spike and your hunger/ appetite hormone get lowered decreasing metabolism making it more difficult to burn calories and an increase in fat storage. Here’s what you can do: · Track your intake: Start by paying attention to when and how much caffeine you consume throughout the day. · Listen to your body: Do you get jittery or anxious after caffeine? This could be a sign you metabolize it slowly. Try cutting caffeine out completely or switching to decaf earlier in the day (think 12+ hours before bedtime). · Wean slowly: If you’re a caffeine pro but still have sleep issues, try gradually reducing your afternoon intake, especially after noon. See how it affects your sleep. · Ditch the sugary drinks: Those fancy coffee concoctions and energy drinks often pack a double whammy of caffeine and sugar. This is a recipe for blood sugar crashes and sleep disruptions. Opt for plain coffee, tea, or naturally caffeinated water. Need some more support with your health and nutrition?
