More research makes you love your morning coffee even more

Coffee is a popular beverage worldwide and is known for its ability to improve mood, performance, and alertness.

In a new study recently published in the scientific journal Scientific Reports, experts investigated the relationship between coffee consumption and emotional states in everyday life.

A team of authors from Bielefeld University (Germany) in collaboration with experts at Warwick University (UK), Tartu University and Tallinn University in Estonia, conducted two studies.

Study 1 analyzed data from 115 participants aged 18–25 years, lasting 14 days.

Study 2 included 121 participants aged 18–29 years, lasting 28 days.

As a result, two studies found that a morning cup of coffee can actually perk you up, leading to increased positive emotions, especially when consumed within 2.5 hours of waking up, according to News Medical .

At the same time, the two studies also found that while all positive emotions improved, the strongest increase was in feelings of “enthusiasm” — highlighting caffeine's particular link to an energetic mood.

The researchers concluded: This study provides empirical evidence that caffeine increases positive emotions, especially immediately after waking.

They explain that the reason your morning cup of coffee works so well is because caffeine blocks sleep signals. Caffeine's mood-enhancing effects are partly due to blocking adenosine receptors in the brain, reducing fatigue signals and boosting neurotransmitters like noradrenaline and dopamine, which can improve mood, according to News Medical .

In short, caffeine really does boost your mood, especially in the morning. Tea also has similar effects because it contains caffeine.
