Daily Caffeine Consumption

Daily caffeine consumption, for most adults, is not a problem as long as it does not induce anxiety, panic attacks, or disrupt nighttime sleep. It is advisable to avoid caffeine within 8-12 hours prior to bedtime to maintain the architecture of sleep, including sufficient deep sleep and rapid eye movement sleep. The most common source of caffeine is coffee, and although studies show improvements in cognitive ability and physical energy, daily caffeine consumption does not result in significant benefits above one's baseline level of functioning.
