If you want to control your coffee habit, wait until morning tea to knock back your first drink of the day.
Researchers have found that the hormone cortisol – which affects your body clock and how you react to stress – plays a big part in how you respond to caffeine.
When you’ve got high cortisol levels, you develop a tolerance to caffeine, and you become immune to its effects.
But if you drink it when your cortisol levels are lower, you’ll be more satisfied.
US scientists say cortisol levels are high when you first get up and they rise again at midday and between 5.30 and 6.30pm, so avoid coffee then.
