Pink swayers - How much coffee?

[Parying4agirl]

Hey thanks for your post
I dont eat or drink until 11am/12pm (only water) so find it hard to take coffee before but will deffo try. I know coffee esp black does not affect sugar levels and fasting period but in my head its nil by mouth ( may cos i fast in Ramadhan and thats nil by mouth period)
My eyes are stinging with sleep but im not sleeping 😭

Since you don’t regularly drink coffee, maybe you’d only need 1 cup to add to your sway to be more pink friendly...? It would be 1 cup more than you haven’t drank previously, and 1 cup is likely more manageable than 2 or 3. You may even get used to drinking 1 cup of coffee to be able to drink it at 2pm and not have it affect your sleep.

As for helping you sleep, even for just tonight, the only thing I can think of would be to have a relaxing bath with lavender, get your pj’s on and go to bed early.

Oh and to help with your eyes stinging, keep your eyes closed even if you are just laying there. It will help your eyes feel more rested even if you aren’t in a deep sleepy. If you can try to breath deeply and slow your breathing as well, you may actually fall asleep.

Guys, forgive me for being clueless. Having never drunk coffee in my life, i started in the 18th with one cup 8oz, and on 19th, upped it to 2 cups on 20th and back to 1 today, but my gawd i feel so tired but cant sleep!! Is this normal? My 1 cups have been about 12-2pm

You need to drink the coffee in the morning, not that late in the day, and you only need one cup.

Not overly, and today my lil ones ill - vomting and cough so another long night - fun times!
I didnt realise the coffee had to be morning..��

Apart from it affecting my sleep is there any other reasons for morning?

[Blushpinkbabyxx]

Oh no, I hope they feel better soon and I hope you all get sleep. [emoji169]

Coffee is considered a diuretic in many ways. Apart from the caffeine in coffee being a stimulant and waking a person up, it is a natural appetite suppressant you may not feel the need to eat until you are hungry. As for why it’s better to have in the morning for your sway, I’m sure Atomic will touch on that.

No. It can be a nice replacement for breakfast for some and may help lower blood sugar (it's normal to have a rise in blood sugar in the morning, coffee may help lower it) but other than that and the sleep issue there is no reason why it should be morning.
