If you roll into work everyday and immediately make a beeline to the pantry for a cup of coffee<\/a>, you're not alone. After all, getting yourself a morning cuppa seems to make complete sense - getting your caffeine boost first thing in the morning will power you through a long day ahead, right?<\/p>

Wrong.<\/em><\/p>

It turns out that consuming your coffee in the morning only numbs the energy-boosting effects of caffeine and increases your body's tolerance to it. Seattle-based writer Ryoko Iwata behind shares this counterintuitive discovery\u00a0<\/strong>in her blog \"I Love Coffee\"\u00a0<\/em>based on research by Steven Miller, a Ph.D. candidate at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda.<\/p>

Why Mornings Are Not The Best Time for Coffee<\/span> <\/h2>

According to Iwata, this has to do with our body's cortisol levels<\/strong> throughout the day. Cortisol is a hormone responsible for making us feel alert and awake<\/a>. Our body produces the highest level of cortisol between 8 to 9AM in the morning. Which means that at the time you're typically on your first cup of coffee, your body is at its peak energy levels - or \"naturally caffeinated\", if you will.<\/p>

Drinking caffeine during your peak cortisol levels actually diminishes its energy-boosting effects<\/strong>, which means you're not getting that productivity-inducing <\/a>caffeine boost you wanted. Worse still, consuming caffeine when your body doesn't need it builds a faster tolerance to it. An increased tolerance for caffeine in turn will heightens your cortisol levels, and may disrupt your body's natural circadian rhythms<\/a>.<\/p>

So, When Is the Best Time for a Coffee?<\/span> <\/h2>

Iwata suggests the best times for a cuppa are as follows: between 9.30 to 11.30AM\u00a0<\/strong>and 1.30 to 5PM<\/strong>. These are the optimal time periods as they take advantage of the dips in your cortisol levels which are between 8-9AM, 12-1PM and 5.30PM, for most folks. So if you're looking to sustain your energy and productivity levels throughout your work day, schedule your 'coffee breaks' during these timing windows!<\/p>
