Avoid the Afternoon Crash: Five Morning Coffee Mistakes

Many people drink coffee to wake up in the morning.

But some coffee habits can make you feel tired later in the day.

That tired feeling is called the afternoon crash.

Drinking coffee right when you wake up may not be the best time.

Your body already makes a chemical that helps you feel awake.

Drinking coffee before eating can make you feel shaky or upset your stomach.

Adding lots of sugar to coffee can make your energy go up and then crash down.

Not drinking enough water can also make you feel tired and give you headaches.

Drinking coffee late in the day can make it harder to sleep well at night.

Coffee can still be good for you if you drink it the right way.
