Perhaps each of us needs to drink coffee at a certain time in order to stay as alert and full of energy as possible.

 Those who drink coffee to stay productive are well aware of its benefits.  Coffee stimulates the nervous system, improving concentration and reaction speed.

 Of course, there are also negative sides to this.  Consuming large amounts of caffeine can cause negative side effects, including incoherence in thought and speech, tics, nausea, anxiety, and insomnia.

 It is known that the feeling of cheerfulness after a cup of coffee can last up to six hours on average.  Therefore, when you drink it also matters.  What time to choose to get the maximum boost at work?  Here's what researchers and nutritionists have to say about it.

 The ideal coffee time may vary by age ...

 For tired young people, morning coffee can help improve performance.  In 2016, a study was conducted in which university students who regularly drink coffee took part.  Scientists tested their memory during exams at 6 a.m. and 2 p.m.  Those who drank coffee in the morning performed better, but taking coffee before daytime exams did not have such an effect on students.

 But don't forget about the benefits of afternoon coffee.  Older people tend to have poor memory from morning until lunchtime, but a 2002 study of people over 65 found that drinking one cup of coffee 30 minutes before taking a test completely eliminates memory problems.

 ... and also the ideal time for coffee depends on the individual characteristics of the body

 The caffeine in coffee takes effect shortly after consumption.  Before you drink a cup, think about when exactly you need to be at your peak of alertness.

 “If you tolerate caffeine normally, you will feel more alert and focused after a morning or afternoon coffee for between one and six hours,” said Tamar Samuels, registered dietitian and co-founder of Culina Health.  "So you can choose the best coffee time for when you need to get the most energy."

 “Scientists have come to the conclusion that every cell in the human body has its own biological clock.  Using caffeine to wake up your brain doesn't mean that your entire body will wake up.  You can be on your feet but feel sluggish, ”explains Professor of Medicine Zhaoping Li, chair of the Department of Clinical Nutrition at the University of California, Los Angeles.  - The body can react very differently to substances in food and drinks, including caffeine.  Every person has their own ideal coffee time. "

 According to Professor Lee, there are no studies that would give a definite answer to the question of when exactly - in the morning or in the afternoon - is it better to drink coffee.  “In this case, the principle of equality does not work, because age, ethnicity and even cultural traditions play a very important role,” she says.  "This is not easy to figure out, so I usually give my patients one important piece of advice: find out in practice what is right for you."

 To do this, Zhaoping Li suggests experimenting and drinking coffee at different times during the working day for several days and monitoring your well-being.  If you don't feel anything at all, you may need to try a different time or find out if any medications you are taking are reducing the effect of coffee.

 But if you have a rapid heart rate, insomnia, or anxiety, if you are particularly sensitive to caffeine, or do not plan to stay awake all night, try not to drink coffee towards the end of the work day.

 “Typically, the less time has passed after a cup of coffee, the higher your level of alertness and concentration,” explains Tamar Samuels.  "Those who are more sensitive to the effects of caffeine should only drink coffee in the morning to prevent sleep disturbances, anxiety, heart palpitations and other symptoms of too much caffeine in the body."
