Drinking coffee at night can make you more impulsive

There was time in my life where I drank coffee at any time of the night. Now, if I drink coffee in the afternoon, I need a nap, but for a good season there has never been a bad time for caffeine hit. Usually, this would mean drinking the endless inserts of some flavored restaurant coffee between midnight to 3:00 in the morning, about Kant, Kripke or Wittgenstein (because this is what you do when you are 20 years venerable, and disgustingly philosophy (“disgusting” here is probably re -compensation) age 20, objectively reckless era.

But recently published a novel study suggests that maybe it was coffee all the time. Scientists from the University of Texas El Paso state that drinking coffee at night “can enhance impulsive behavior, potentially leading to reckless actions.”

As reported Medical XpressThe study was published in the journal. To this end, UTEP biologists examined how caffeine affects the preservation of the fruit fly species, which divides “genetic and neural similarities with people.” Fruit flies have undergone various experiments in which they were given caffeine (or not) in different conditions, including during the day compared to night. The flies were then assessed in terms of impulsive behavior, in particular in how they reacted to a forceful air flow.

Mighty air flow is “naturally unpleasant stimulus” of fruit flies and generally prefer to stay in the process. Flying in such conditions is considered impulsive and reckless for flies due to lack of control.

Scientists have found that flies that consumed caffeine at night were less able to suppress movement, and therefore more susceptible to impulsive behavior. Meanwhile, fruit flies served caffeine during the day did not participate in the same reckless flying.

They also discovered that the effect was much more perceptible in female fruit flies than their male counterparts. “Mucha does not have human hormones, such as estrogen, which suggests that other genetic or physiological factors drive increased sensitivity in women … Discovering these mechanisms will support us better understand how night physiology and sex factors modulate caffeine effects.”

Or maybe female fruit flies had quite male fruit flies, and since they were so jazzed on caffeine and did not sleep in the near future, they came to the conclusion that wherever it is better than here, so why not fight in the wind? But what do I know, my wife is not a fruit fly. Unless…

UTEP researchers say that discoveries can have negative consequences for people working on a night shift, such as healthcare and military staff, people operate caffeine to maintain vigilance, “especially women”.

My personal is out of the study? Place a diminutive cup of coffee next to the fruit fly trap.

Go on, enter the hole in the cellophane and make SUP on apple cider vinegar. What’s the worst thing?
