Daytime Fatigue Linked to Ignoring the "2pm Rule" on Caffeine Consumption
# Daytime Tiredness Could Be Due to Breaking the Expert's 2pm Rule
Many people experience tiredness during the day, and experts suggest it might be linked to breaking a common guideline. This guideline is known as the "2pm rule," which recommends avoiding caffeine in the afternoon.
According to health experts, consuming caffeine after 2pm can interfere with sleep quality at night. This can result in feeling sleepy and fatigued during the day. The NHS advises, “Stop drinking tea, coffee or anything else with caffeine in it by 2pm. If you want a hot drink in the evening, try something milky or herbal and caffeine-free.”
People often overlook this advice and continue to drink caffeinated beverages into the late afternoon. This habit could lead to more sleepless nights and increased tiredness during the day. Therefore, sticking to the 2pm rule may help improve overall energy levels.
For anyone experiencing severe daytime tiredness, contacting a healthcare professional is recommended for further advice and support.
