In 2018, I embarked on a journey to reshape my sleep habits and enhance my overall healthspan.

Dr. Matthew Walker’s book Why We Sleep was particularly impactful, especially its discussion on how caffeine affects sleep patterns. 

As a result, I made a significant change: I now only drink coffee and only before noon. After about 30 days, I noticed a clear improvement in my sleep quality, and I haven’t looked back since. It’s encouraging to see research that supports these lifestyle adjustments. 

Compared with non-coffee drinkers, those who mostly drank coffee in the morning had a lower risk of all-cause mortality (adjusted HR 0.84, 95% CI 0.74-0.95) and cardiovascular mortality (HR 0.69, 95% CI 0.55-0.87) when followed over a median 9.8 years.

It appeared that survival was particularly improved with morning consumers drinking moderate (>1 to 2 cups and >2 to 3 cups/day) and heavy (>3 cups/day) amounts of coffee rather than lesser amounts, reported Lu Qi, MD, PhD, epidemiologist of Tulane University in New Orleans and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, and colleagues in European Heart Journal.
