Lesson Overview

12.33 – Managing Caffeine, Sugar, and Medication Timing: What you consume determines how your body transitions into rest. Caffeine can linger up to 10 hours, delaying melatonin and keeping your brain alert. Sugar spikes cause energy crashes that disrupt sleep later. Medications with stimulating side effects can also shift rhythms if taken too late. Track timing carefully—move energizing substances earlier in the day. Replace evening cravings with protein or herbal teas. Balance hydration so you’re not waking for bathroom trips overnight. Discuss any medication timing with your doctor before adjusting. Awareness, not restriction, is power here. When your bloodstream stays steady, your brain interprets stability as permission to rest. Healthy timing protects your natural cycles and prevents unnecessary fatigue. Each mindful choice compounds into calmer nights, clearer mornings, and energy that feels consistent rather than chaotic. Mastering timing turns nutrition and medicine into allies for sustained wellness.
