Caffeine at night does nothing to me. I can finish my coffee and fall straight asleep. I do it all the time, I sleep like a log.
A sample size of 5 is way too low.
If 15% of the population does not have sleep effected by caffeine at all, there is a good chance that this study missed people like me completely.
- pessimizer 11y agoI can do the same, and I'm an extremely irregular coffee drinker. A lot of people in a lot of cultures regularly have coffee after dinner to aid digestion. I think whether you stay up or not after coffee drinking is largely a matter of expectation: http://www.bris.ac.uk/news/2010/7051.html http://www.bris.ac.uk/news/2010/7051.html "Coffee consumption unrelated to alertness" [2010] sample size: 379 People just think that they're better reporters of their own conscious experience than they are.
- blktiger 11y agoSome people aren't effected by stimulants the same way others are. For example, generally with ADD/ADHD stimulants help calm the person down where with other in general people it would wire them up. Personally, I have to take enough caffeine to have an irregular heartbeat before I notice any effect besides going to the bathroom more often.
- grhino 11y agoCaffeine tolerance built up over time may play a role.
- cpncrunch 11y agoHow much coffee do you drink in a day? If you drink a lot of coffee you will develop tolerance, so you would need to drink more in order to see this effect.
