Does drinking coffee affect sleep?

Many people have the experience of being too excited to sleep after drinking coffee. This is because there is a conductive substance called adenosine in the body, which controls neural activity and produces slow breathing, emotional weakness, reduced gastric acid secretion and diuretic effects. On the other hand, caffeine will fake adenosine, making the body think that the effect of adenosine has taken place, making you feel energetic, increased stomach acid, urinate more frequently, and naturally less willing to fall asleep. It is worth noting that the brief awakening caused by this caffeine does not mean that physical strength is really restored. In addition, everyone has a different metabolic rate of caffeine, so their sensitivity to caffeine varies, so some people don't feel that their sleep is affected after drinking coffee. Therefore, a cup of hot coffee after getting up in the morning can exhilarate the body and mind and make the mood more comfortable, while it may cause insomnia at night.

Coffee is a beauty killer?

Patients with cerebral hemangioma are not suitable to drink coffee, heart disease patients should drink non-caffeinated or low-caffeinated coffee, because caffeine will increase the heart rate and cause heart hypoxia. In addition, patients with skin diseases and those with stomach problems should drink as little coffee as possible so as not to worsen their condition due to excessive consumption. People with diabetes should also avoid drinking coffee with too much sugar so as not to aggravate the condition. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a statement advising women who are or may be pregnant to reduce their caffeine intake. Because women metabolize caffeine about twice as fast during the second and third stages of pregnancy than when they are not pregnant, caffeine can cross the placenta into the fetus or enter the baby through breastfeeding. In addition, many studies have failed to prove that moderate amounts of caffeine have adverse effects on fetuses, and there are no medical reports banning pregnant women from drinking coffee.
