Ease Up on the Espresso: If your sleep isn’t great lately, consider cutting back on the caffeine. Turns out, chugging coffee during sleep-deprived stints might shrink grey matter in parts of your brain. Not ideal if you’re trying to keep that brain in tip-top shape. Know Your Limits: Everyone’s different when it comes to coffee tolerance. This study found that how your brain reacts to caffeine can depend on your genes—specifically, something about adenosine receptors. So, pay attention to how much caffeine you can handle, especially when you’re short on shut-eye. Catch Those Zs: Don’t skimp on recovery sleep. After a brutal week, make sure to get some solid, uninterrupted sleep to bounce back. It helps counteract the rough effects of those sleepless nights and may even undo some of the caffeine-induced brain changes. |
