Coffland Corp: Coffee takes sleep away: is this true or false?

Every time we notice the drowsiness over, our first solution is to make or buy a cup off coffee. Is it a myth? Is it a reality? Does it take your sleep away?

Sometimes, we need to have our body and mind active; is coffee the best option to accomplish that? Caffeine is a natural substance found in coffee, tea and also in cocoa seeds. Drinking coffee when we are sleepy has become the routine of many. But does it help us to be active? This time we were researching for you, all the truth about coffee and its power to get rid of sleep.

If sleep is what you want… don’t drink too much coffee!

Until now it wasn’t known why caffeine disrupts sleep, but many studies about it (the latest at the University of Colorado at Boulder and the Molecular Biology Laboratory of the Medical Research Council of Cambridge in England), have discovered that caffeine affects to our dream and delays the biological clock between 30 and 40 minutes. So all this seems to be true that coffee helps keep us awake. To understand the full effect of caffeine on our biological clock, you need to read the results of these studies.

The team of scientists from Colorado, which today publishes its results in the journal Science Translational Medicine, states: "In a 49-day long, with subject study, we found that a caffeine dose to that in a double espresso 3 hours before usual bedtime induced to a 40-minute phase delay of the circadian melatonin rhythm in humans This magnitude of delay was nearly half of the magnitude of the phase-delaying response induced by exposure to 3 hours of evening bright light that began at usual bedtime."

Circadian time: what is it?

This internal clock of humans makes a function through a biochemical mechanism that tunes the organism with the cycles of day and night. This clock is in charge of notifying the body when it is convenient to be ready to sleep or to make the effort of the day work.

The researchers examined the cells and found that caffeine affected circadian time by adenosine receptors that caused changes in cell chemistries, causing the body to become alert, blocking its ability to regulate fatigue both physically and intellectually, thus increasing the capacity for effort physical and mental.

Then now that you know...

Caffeine acts like that disco door big bouncer who doesn’t want to let adenosines "enter": Until it leaves, there is no way to sleep. Each person has a different response to caffeine, amounts as small as 250 milligrams can stimulate some people excessively, and others who consume it on a daily basis develop more tolerance.
