Surveys indicate that 85% of the adult population consume caffeine on a daily basis. Caffeine acts on sleep homeostatic mechanisms by antagonizing the sleep factor adenosine. Whether and how caffeine also impacts on the circadian regulation of sleep and -wakefulness is fairly unexplored. This study quantifies the influence of regular caffeine intake and its cessation on circadian promotion of sleep and wakefulness, on circadian hormonal markers, well-being, neurobehavioral performance and associated cerebral mechanisms. The knowledge is expected to contribute important insights on recent societal changes in sleep-wake behavior (e.g., shorter sleep duration and delayed sleep phase) and the related increase in people suffering from sleep problems.

Primary | Sleep polysomnography in normal baseline sleep | Electrophysiological activities were measured by electroencephalography during sleep. Spectral analysis was performed using a Fast-Fourier transformation to quantify delta (0.75 - 4.5 Hz), theta (4.5 - 8 Hz), alpha (8 - 12 Hz), and sigma (12 - 16 Hz), and beta (16 - 32 Hz) power density . Sleep stages, i.e., non-rapid eye-movement (NREM) stage 1, NREM2, NREM3, NREM4, and REM sleep were determined by visual scoring per 30-second epoch in accordance with the guideline of American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM).Sleep stages were reported relative to total sleep time. Duration of sleep latencies was also reported. | First 8-hour nighttime sleep on the laboratory evening (Day 9) | |
Primary | Sleep polysomnography in an evening nap | Electrophysiological activities were measured by electroencephalography during the sleep.
