Caffeine

Stop Cutting Coffee. It’s Not Why You Can’t Sleep.

The universal advice to cut caffeine for better sleep is built on a false premise: that every body processes coffee the same way. It doesn’t. Genetic sensitivity, tolerance, and environmental factors like temperature and humidity matter far more than the timing of your last cup. If cutting coffee hasn’t fixed your sleep, the diagnosis was wrong — and it’s time to look at what’s actually keeping you awake.

The “Cure” for Caffeine That’s Actually Ruining Your Sleep

The internet myth that drinking vitamin C water before bed can ‘flush out’ caffeine is a dangerous placebo. It ignores the genetic reality of caffeine metabolism, introduces a sugar spike, and forces you to wake up to urinate—actively destroying the sleep quality you’re trying to protect. The real fix is simpler: know your genes, stop caffeine after 2 PM, and ditch the screens.
