To all Coffee Lovers


Good news for you coffee lovers. A recent study says caffeine intake will help workers with evening shifts avoid mistakes.

Working overtime or night shifts are done by a lot of workers. In a long term this can disrupt the biological time. Some who sleep outside the normal hours have sleep disorders. As a result, the likelihood of errors when working is also higher.

In an analysis of 13 studies of the effects of caffeine on the ability of workers working night shifts, it is known that caffeine will make workers more alert, focused, and enables them to face the challenges so that the errors can be minimized.

Respondents in the research consumed a variety of caffeine, like coffee, pills, energy drinks, food, while others were given a placebo. The result, those who consume caffeine have a better performance than those who received placebo.

Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system, resulting in increasing ability to recall, concentrae, perception and opinion. However, too muchcaffeine also has side effects. In excessive doses, between 2-7 cups of coffee or more than 250 mg, can cause restlessness, nausea, or headaches. If a higher dose, it can cause emotional disturbances.
