What is the first thing you do when you wake up? If you reach for the coffee machine, we have news for you - you have to change your habits.
It turns out that drinking coffee right after getting up is a little pointless. Early awakening is stressful for the body as it is accompanied by the release of cortisol (a steroid hormone, also known as the "stress hormone"). If you immediately drink coffee, the effect of caffeine will not be particularly strong due to the high levels of cortisol in the blood, BrightSide writes. The more time passed, the more caffeine will "require" your body to wake up.
That's why scientists recommend coffee to drink 2-3 hours after getting up. If you get up at 7 am, the ideal time for a hot drink is 9:30 am. Then cortisol levels will drop and the energizing effect will be more noticeable.
