When is the perfect time for coffee

When it comes to coffee, the biological area we need to pay attention to is the level of the hormone cortisol that connects it to stress and the speed of our mental responses and perceptions.

“More cortisol in our body means that you're the most alert and focused nature”, explains Steven Miller in the Association for Neuroscience's official account on Twitter.

The more alert and focused you are, the coffee will be less effective. So if we've had coffee at a time when our vigilance is at its height, the effect of waking up that coffee has will not be able to use. Therefore, coffee in ours should be consumed more at the time when the level of cortisol in our body is less”, Miller says.

Although cortisol reaches its highest level at mid - 8 and 9, its levels increase several times during the day - between 12 and 13 and 17:30 and 18:30 hours, it broadcast Telegram.

But if you prefer your coffee in the morning, it will be more effective if you consume it at 9:30 and 11:30, when cortisol levels drop to the lowest level before they get up again.

According to the National Health Service of Great Britain, the perfect time for a coffee is 14:16, but this assessment is not based on measuring cortisol levels, but on the study of what time employees feel more tired.

If you really want to experience the maximum benefits of coffee drinking, scientists recommend a brief 15 - minute nap immediately after drinking several cups of coffee.

There's been an experimental evidence that the combination of coffee that cleans the body of adenopine chemicals that make us sleepy, and such a short sleep, enables the highest alert rate through the longest period of time.

This method is an example of the paradoxic effect of many substances on our bodies. /Telegraphy/
