It\u2019s the way countless people around the world start their day.<\/p>\n

But did you know that when you drink your coffee has an impact on how you function?<\/p>\n

FEMAIL spoke to the Sydney-based dietitian and nutritionist, Lyndi Cohen, for her tips on when to drink your caffeine, when to avoid it and how much you should \u2013 in an ideal world \u2013 be consuming.<\/p>\n

According to Ms Cohen, while you might reach for a cup of coffee pretty much as soon as you wake up, it\u2019s a better idea to save your coffee consumption for a bit later:<\/p>\n

\u2018When you first wake up, your cortisol levels are at their peak,\u2019 she told Daily Mail Australia.<\/p>\n

\u2018Caffeine impacts on your body\u2019s production of cortisol levels. When you drink coffee first thing in the morning, your body produces less cortisol and you become dependent on caffeine for your energy kick.

\u2018This may explain why you feel addicted or a need to drink it first thing in the morning.\u2019<\/p>\n

Ms Cohen said it\u2019s a far better idea to save your cup for mid morning \u2013 or between 10am and 12pm, when your cortisol levels have come down again.<\/p>\n

She added that you should ideally have finished with coffee by lunchtime, however, switching to herbal teas or de-caf options throughout the afternoon:<\/p>\n

\u2018Every person has a different tolerance for caffeine, but as a general rule of thumb and for a quality night of rest, don\u2019t have a cup at least six hours before you go to sleep,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019d recommend 2pm as the latest time for a coffee.\u2019<\/p>\n
