Can't sleep after drinking coffee? It may not just be because of the caffeine

Coffee has become an indispensable drink in our lives. It is loved by everyone because of its refreshing effect and unique taste. However, many people cannot sleep at night after drinking coffee. But in fact, in many cases, it is not caused by caffeine. Can you believe it?

Many of my friends are afraid to drink coffee in the afternoon, mainly because they are afraid that drinking coffee will make them unable to sleep at night. Is coffee really that scary? In fact, it is not. In many cases, it may be your psychological suggestion, because you have defined coffee as a drink that makes people unable to sleep. So why do people have such psychological suggestions?

In the first case, when you first come into contact with coffee, you are taught that drinking coffee will cause insomnia, and thus you give yourself a self-suggestion that because you drink coffee, you should be unusually alert at night.

The second situation is that you have insomnia today and you can’t sleep. What’s the reason? You suddenly remember that you drank coffee today, so you point the finger at the coffee. In fact, it may be caused by work pressure or changing to a new pillow. It has nothing to do with drinking coffee.

In fact, the metabolism time of caffeine in most people's bodies is only 4 to 6 hours. If you don't drink coffee within 6 hours before going to bed, it will basically not affect your sleep. It's all your own psychological suggestion. So if there is a friend around you who can't sleep because of drinking coffee, please tell him that it may not be due to caffeine.
