Coffee Does Help Reduce Sleep Deprivation
We all know that coffee is the drink to have when you are sleepy. But the belief that it contributes to sleep deprivation is something up for questioning. Apparently this was the case for this study conducted regarding the tests conducted which proved that aroma of coffee does indeed help lessen the stress of sleep deprivation present for most people today.
In experiments with laboratory rats, they found that coffee aroma orchestrates the expression of more than a dozen genes and some changes in protein expressions, in ways that help reduce the stress of sleep deprivation.
Han-Seok Seo and colleagues point out that hundreds of studies have been done on the ingredients in coffee, including substances linked to beneficial health effects. “There are few studies that deal with the beneficial effects of coffee aroma,” they note. “This study is the first effort to elucidate the effects of coffee bean aroma on the sleep deprivation-induced stress in the rat brain.”
We all know that these are tests only and that rats are merely experimental beings used to prove theories but they are all pointed towards the right direction as far as explaining the facts of sleep deprivation and helping us understand them as a whole.
