Enjoying coffee ice cream after dinner can be tempting, but it raises questions about its caffeine content and potential effects on sleep. Caffeine sensitivity varies from person to person, so understanding your own limits is key. Adults can safely consume up to 400 milligrams of caffeine daily, but pregnant individuals should keep it under 300 milligrams. While coffee ice cream contains caffeine, usually between 30 to 60 milligrams per serving, some premium brands may have over 80 milligrams.
• Caffeine sensitivity can lead to jitters or restlessness after small amounts.
• Genetics, age, and medications can influence caffeine sensitivity.
• It’s best to avoid caffeine 6-8 hours before bedtime for better sleep.
• If you’re sensitive to caffeine, consider stopping intake by noon.
Being aware of caffeine intake is crucial for sleep quality. If you enjoy coffee ice cream but have concerns, monitoring your overall caffeine consumption is wise.
