Caffeine Stays in Your System Longer Than You Think

The morning cup still working at midnight, according to the research.

STRATA-AF™ ANGLEEDITORIAL SYNTHESIS BY STRATA-AF™

Ethiopia's coffee ceremony and West Africa's kola-nut traditions treat stimulants as ritual and community rather than a productivity input, a genuinely different framework from the grab-and-go coffee culture spreading through African cities alongside Western-style work schedules.

New research finds caffeine can affect sleep quality for up to twelve hours after consumption, longer than previously assumed. A general health-science finding relevant to anyone who drinks coffee; no Africa-specific data or study population is cited here.
