Coffee contains caffeine which makes people awake and reduce drowsiness. If coffee is drunk at night before bedtime, of course it can cause a significant impact on sleep quality.
Even tends to trigger anxiety (anxiety). According to health expert Sarah Schlicyer he said coffee could cause people to have trouble sleeping and provoking anxiety.
“This is due to the increase in cortisol levels, namely stress hormones formed from drinking coffee. Although this coffee can be a drink that fills energy throughout the day, but can interfere with someone’s sleep,” said Sarah.
2. Lack of rest time
During the month of Ramadan, most people are still active as usual such as doing housework, to the office to school. Well, if the habit of coffee in the morning is exchanged at night, it will certainly have an impact on the lack of rest time.
“Having a comfortable and sound sleep quality is very good for body health. So things like this must be taken seriously,” he advised.

Some health experts recommend that people stop drinking coffee, or other caffeinated drinks at least six hours before bedtime. This research is based on the journal ‘Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine’.
For example, if someone used to sleep at 10 pm. So the person drinks coffee at the latest at 4 pm, to get a sound and healthy sleep quality.
Sarah understands there are many people who are not too sensitive to the effects of caffeine, and there are people who actually drink coffee to reduce their anxiety. Although it rarely happens.
