You actually don't need coffee in the morning

So many people associate their mornings with the smell of coffee brewing or a quick trip to the coffee shop. However, according to dietitians and nutritionists, the early morning might not be the most suitable time for a cup of coffee. According to their research, drinking coffee to start your day is not helping you, but hurting you, by tricking your body into producing more cortisol when your body already has cortisol as soon as you wake up.

If you drink a lot of coffee in the early morning, you'll see the result almost immediately. But it won't last long, because, by noon, your cortisol levels will drop dramatically, and you will feel lousy again. Therefore, it is best to drink coffee from around 9.30 am to 11.30 am and after lunch from around 1.30 pm to 3 pm when your cortisol levels are naturally low. However, you should avoid caffeine after 3 pm, because caffeine can disrupt your sleep up to six hours after consuming it, leading to an hour or more lost in rest. So, if you want to start living a life where you don't have to rely on coffee, you train yourself to go to bed at 9, and to be able to do that, avoid drinking coffee after 3 pm.
