Many of us reach for coffee first thing in the morning. ☕ But, is this a healthy habit? Let’s explore why you might want to reconsider that morning cup right after waking up. When you wake up, your body naturally produces cortisol, a hormone that makes you feel alert and awake. 🌞 This surge of cortisol is a natural part of your body’s rhythm. However, if you chug that cup of coffee immediately, the caffeine can clash with this wonderful process, disrupting cortisol’s effectiveness—not what we want, right? This can actually leave you feeling more tired later in the day. 😴 Experts suggest waiting 60 to 90 minutes after waking up before enjoying your first cup of coffee. ⏰ This little pause lets your body fully leverage its natural alertness, and then once you have your coffee, it truly enhances the caffeine benefit. So, why not try this for a week? Delay that coffee and notice any changes in your energy levels and focus. 🌟 Many who have given this a shot report feeling much more awake throughout the day!
