Understanding Caffeine & Sleep

A majority of adults begin the day with caffeine. Drinking caffeine 4-6 hours before bed has been shown to impact the ability to fall asleep & sleep quality. 

Research shows consuming caffeine before bedtime can suppress the production of melatonin, a hormone that assists in a good night’s sleep. 

The FDA recommends keeping daily caffeine dosage under 400MG. Average caffeine content in: 

Coffee is 65-350mg depending on type and amount (lowest being decaf and instant) 

Tea is 30-250mg 

Soda is 35-375mg
