Jan. 27, 2010 -- A coffee break after an important meeting or class may be just the thing your brain needs to digest new information and improve memory.
A new study suggests that resting while awake aids in memory consolidation and improves memory recall, much like getting a good night's sleep has been shown to do.
"Taking a coffee break after class can actually help you retain that information you just learned," researcher Lila Davachi, PhD, assistant professor of psychology at the Center for Neural Science at New York University, says in a news release. "Your brain wants you to tune out other tasks so you can tune in to what you just learned."
there has been much controversy and change of opinion
over the risks and benefits of coffee consumption.
every few years another illness is associated with coffee.
compared to our former drink of choice, coffee is much
more helpful than harmful.
know of anyone crashing a car, fighting, missing work
or getting cirrhosis from too many cups of joe?
in the sports world, caffeine has long been considered
an ergogenic aid. athletes were found to be capable
of competing longer before exhaustion, and even
showed increased concentration.
my dad has consumed 6 to 8 cups a day since
the age of 20...he turns 88 this year!
it's been said "all it takes to have a meeting
is 2 people, a coffee pot, and a resentment."
