in health •  6 years ago  (edited)

It's Sleep Awareness Week so we have included some recommendations about caffeine intake from the Sleep Health Foundation:

  • The SHF recommends no caffeine at all for children under 12 years old.
  • High doses of caffeine can make it hard to fall asleep and stay asleep.
  • Some people are more sensitive to caffeine’s effects on sleep quality than others.
  • If you are sensitive to caffeine or have sleep difficulties use caffeine cautiously.
  • As a general rule avoid caffeine in the evening before bed.
  • Understanding and controlling your caffeine use is important for good quality sleep.
