I love waking up and having coffee. I usually think of feeding the pets first (you sacrifice for those you love), but after that, it’s coffee time!
But this study suggests that there are better times to drink coffee regardless of whether you are a morning person or a night owl:
Timing your coffee breaks with your body’s cortisol schedule means you will get the biggest bang from your caffeine jolt. According to the infographic, cortisol levels peak between 8 to 9 a.m., 12 to 1 p.m. and 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., meaning the best time for a coffee break is between 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 to 5 p.m., when our body’s cortisol levels drop.

I’m going to give this a try and see if I feel more energetic. I will drink one or two cups during those periods and report back.
Stay tuned!
