Caffeine improves alertness, reaction time and sustained attention — useful for study. The trick is steady dosing, not a single big hit followed by a crash.

A study-session approach
- Smaller cups, spaced out — one moderate cup every 2–3 hours beats a triple-shot upfront.
- Start ~30 minutes before you need to focus.
- Stop by early afternoon — caffeine's ~5-hour half-life will wreck your sleep, and poor sleep destroys next-day learning.
- Water alongside — mild dehydration feels like brain fog.
- Pair with a small snack if studying long, to avoid a blood-sugar dip that caffeine masks.
