Caffeine + Age + Sleep

Whether or not you embrace a forever young mindset, your body might not always get the memo. Just as we need to adjust our diets and exercise routines with age, the amount of caffeine we consume can have drastic effects on overall health because it can disrupt one of the single most important activities (or lack thereof)... sleep!

Yes, it might seem obvious caffeine can interfere with sleep, but did you know this effect *increases* with age? Well, at least for the middle-aged among us, defined in at least one study to be individuals 39–63 years of age. The study found that compared to younger adults (aged 22–25 years of age) middle-aged adults are generally more sensitive to the effects of high doses of caffeine on sleep quantity and quality.
