For many people, coffee is the first step in starting the day. However, experts suggest that when you drink your coffee may influence how your body responds to it.
After waking up, the body naturally increases production of cortisol, a hormone linked to alertness. This typically peaks within the first 30 to 60 minutes. Some experts suggest that drinking coffee during this period may make caffeine feel less effective, as the body is already in a naturally alert state.
Hydration is another factor to consider. After several hours of sleep without fluids, the body may be slightly dehydrated. Drinking coffee before water may contribute to feelings of fatigue or dryness, particularly in people who are sensitive to caffeine.
Some individuals may also experience stomach discomfort when consuming coffee on an empty stomach, including increased acidity, although responses vary.
A commonly recommended approach is to wait 60 to 90 minutes after waking before having your first cup of coffee. This allows the body’s natural rhythm to settle and may help caffeine provide a more balanced and sustained energy boost.
Other morning habits can also influence energy levels. Diets high in sugar and low in protein may lead to fluctuations in energy, while exercising on an empty stomach may leave some people feeling fatigued. Immediate exposure to emails or screens may also contribute to early mental strain.
A more gradual start to the day may support steadier energy levels. Drinking water first, getting exposure to natural light, and delaying caffeine intake slightly are simple adjustments that [uncertain] may help improve how you feel later in the day.
