JAKARTA - Drinking coffee in the morning has become part of the daily routine of many people. However, drinking coffee in the morning actually has several things to pay attention to.
One of them is the drinking time, which should not be done shortly after waking up. Drinking coffee too fast after waking up can have a less optimal impact, and even have side effects on some people.
This is because the human body has a natural rhythm that regulates hormones, including cortisols, hormones that keep a person alert. After waking up, cortisol levels are at their peak, which if directly drinking coffee can trigger anxiety until the body is weaker.
"Drying coffee after waking up makes caffeine above a high cortisol," said sleep specialist Raj Dasgupta, quoted from Today, on Thursday, September 18, 2025.

Not only that, drinking coffee shortly after waking up can also interfere with the quality of sleep at night. A sports physiological expert, Pete Upton, said the way the body absorbs caffeine can bring disaster to the body itself.
The problem with the amount of caffeine you drink after waking up does not provide energy, but blocks receptors in the brain, added Upon.
Thus, caffeine takes over the place that should be occupied by the sleep hormone. This makes it difficult to sleep the night after.
However, that doesn't mean drinking coffee in the morning after waking up shouldn't be done. This can still be done, but Upton recommends paying attention to the time.
It is recommended to wait at least 90 minutes after waking up to drink coffee. Avoid caffeinated drinks such as coffee and tea during that time lag.
90 minutes after waking up, brain function has been awakened and the stress hormone has changed and everything is starting to enter day-to-day mode, "concluded Upton.
