Don’t Count on Caffeine to Fight Sleep Deprivation
Featured in Neuroscience·May 26, 2021
Summary: A caffeine jolt may give you a little more energy following a restless night of sleep, but it doesn’t necessarily help with boosting cognition. Researchers found that while caffeine helped sleep deprived students to perform better at some simple cognition tests, it had no effect on improving performance on more challenging tasks, like placekeeping tests.
Rough night of sleep? Relying on caffeine to get you through the day isn’t always the answer, says a new study from Michigan State University.
Researchers from MSU’s Sleep and Learning Lab, led by psychology associate professor Kimberly Fenn, assessed how effective caffeine was in counteracting the negative effects of sleep deprivation on cognition. As it turns out, caffeine can only get you so far.
