Summary

A Tulane University study found that drinking coffee only in the morning is linked to a 16% lower risk of death from all causes and a 31% lower risk of heart disease compared to non-coffee drinkers.

Researchers analyzed data from over 40,000 U.S. adults and suggested morning coffee between 4:00 a.m. and noon aligns with natural sleep-wake cycles, potentially reducing inflammation.

Afternoon and evening coffee showed no benefits, and the study found no link between coffee and reduced cancer mortality.

Experts stress further research is needed before making lifestyle changes.

I get a strong feeling it's more about the situation than the coffee. If I spent 30 minutes every morning chillin' out drinking coffee I'd probably be a more relaxed person in general throughout the day. For context my usual morning routine is to wake up 5 minutes before I leave, brush my teeth, put on some pants, and head out the door. It's a disaster every morning but my body physically cannot get up earlier than that. If I go to bed earlier I just sleep more and wake up at the same time anyway.
