Effect of caffeine and energy drinks on sleep quality and brain activity in college students

This study investigates the impact of caffeine and energy drink consumption on sleep quality and brain activity among college students. Using EEG technology, the research identifies specific brain activity patterns associated with prolonged energy drink use and poor sleep quality. Participants were divided into groups based on their sleep habits and caffeine consumption levels. Results indicate a significant correlation between high caffeine intake and disrupted sleep patterns, evidenced by increased variability and energy metrics in EEG readings. Conversely, participants with low caffeine consumption demonstrated better sleep quality. The study highlights the challenges in EEG signal interpretation due to external factors and underscores the need for rigorous control in future research to enhance data reliability. These findings provide valuable insights for further studies on caffeine's effects on sleep and cognitive performance, aiming to develop comprehensive recommendations for managing caffeine intake among university students.
