- Caffeine is in a very effective tool to increase focus and concentration, provided the dosage is right and it’s taken approximately 15 to 30 minutes prior to initiating a bout of mental or physical work.
- Coffee beans have the highest amount of caffeine compared to tea. Coffee consumed in isolated form (without adding milk or cream) like black coffee, espresso, in supplement pill form(anhydrous caffeine) is more effective.
- Caffeine has other benefits too, including up-regulation of dopamine receptors. However, anxiety-prone individuals need to consume coffee or caffeine based beverages with caution.
- And of course don’t ingest caffeine too late in the day or it will disrupt your sleep. Generally avoid caffeine within the 8 to 10 hours prior to bedtime. Even if you fall asleep and stay asleep, the architecture of your sleep and next day mood and performance will suffer.
