In the wee hours of the morning when the birds are barely awake and we\u2019ve snoozed our alarm ten times, there isn\u2019t much to feel motivated about. Except for coffee. Coffee is love, coffee is life, coffee<\/a> is our reason for getting up in the morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Except that the AM is apparently the worst time to have a cup of liquid gold. Yep, new research suggests the best time to drink a cup of coffee isn\u2019t first thing in the morning – it\u2019s after<\/em> a nutritious breakfast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, that means our caffeine brekkies are no good for us – who knew?* This is because, after an extended period of time, our bodies begin to rely on coffee to wake us up. Having coffee before eating in the morning also has the potential to stuff out our bodies capacity to regulate blood sugar levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A study<\/a> conducted by researchers at the University of Bath explains that \u201crelying on coffee after a bad night to stop feeling sleepy could limit your body\u2019s ability to tolerate the sugar in your breakfast.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the study, male and female participants slept from 11pm to 7am and were asked to consume a sugary drink upon waking up, which mirrored the amount of calories in a \u2018typical breakfast\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In another experiment, participants experienced a disrupted night\u2019s sleep and were woken every hour via a text message which they had had to respond to. Again \u2013 they were asked to consume the same sugary drink when they woke up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a third experiment, participants experienced the same sleep disruption but were given a strong black coffee 30 minutes before consuming the sugary drink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
