☕ Wellness Wednesday: The Coffee Cut-Off

We all love that morning coffee — the ritual, the smell, that first sip that makes the day start right. But here’s something most people don’t realise…

Caffeine has a half-life of around 6 hours(on average).
That means if you have a coffee at 3pm, half of that caffeine is still in your system at 9pm — quietly stopping your brain from fully switching off. 😴

Even if you fall asleep fine, caffeine can reduce your deep sleep quality — the stage where recovery, hormone balance, and muscle repair really happen.

So if you rely on that mid-afternoon pick-me-up, try this instead:
💧 Hydrate first — dehydration often feels like tiredness.
🚶 Get up and move — a quick walk boosts circulation and focus.
🍵 Switch to herbal tea or decaf if you still want something warm.

Your sleep, mood, and recovery will all thank you.
