Coffee Break

Your female coworkers are going to be a LOT perkier after that coffee break than the guys...

Patty is really perky after that coffee break – Pete – not so much. A new British study found that after drinking coffee – women’s brainpower really increased. That same caffeine infusion had the opposite effect on the men in the study – they actually felt sluggish and drained after the break. In stressful situations the results were even more profound. Women breezed through puzzles and memory tasks on caffeine – 100 seconds faster than on decaf – and men LOST 10 seconds on a caffeinated run.
