Drinking green tea, especially in the evening, carries certain risks that can affect sleep quality and overall well-being. Take a look:

 

Caffeine Content

Green tea contains caffeine, which taken close to bedtime can disrupt sleep by causing difficulty falling asleep or waking up during the night.

Stimulation

The caffeine in green tea stimulates the nervous system, potentially making it harder for some to relax before bedtime.

Digestive Issues

Impact on Melatonin

Caffeine disrupts the body’s normal sleep-wake cycle by interfering with its production of melatonin, delaying its release.

Urinary Frequency

Green tea can increase urine production, leading to more frequent trips to the bathroom at night and disturbed sleep.
