Most of us know someone who says they can drink coffee right before bed without any negative effects. Maybe it’s you...
According to Michael Breuw, author of “The Sleep Doctor’s Diet Plan,” that’s pretty much impossible. While you may think it’s not interfering with sleep, caffeine is a stimulant that has been proven to affect everyone. If you measure the brain waves with an EEG, you’d see an increase in mental activity, awake or asleep.
Dr. Breus says that people who have little or no difficulty falling asleep after a fresh dose of caffeine are most likely sleep-deprived and are exhausted enough to override the effects. Those people would probably also enjoy a calmer, more restful night’s sleep without the caffeine nightcap.
