“Why your 3pm coffee is making you feral in the morning.”

How caffeine timing affects stress, recovery, and performance
In this short clip from our Younity client event 'Stress, Overwhelm and Sleep: Burnout SOS' series, neuroscience coach Sally Duxfield explains why late-day coffee silently disrupts your REM sleep, emotional regulation, and ability to think clearly under pressure.

☕ Key insight: Caffeine has a 10-hour half-life.
A 3pm coffee = half of the caffeine is still active at 1am, shifting your sleep cycles and reducing genuine recovery.

Sally’s tip:
Front-load caffeine between 6am and 12pm for better performance without compromising sleep.

If you manage teams, make decisions under pressure, or support people through demanding workloads, this small timing adjustment can make a big difference.
