DOES CAFFEINE CHANGE
HOW WELL YOU DO IN SCHOOL?
14.
You might think that a cup of coffee is just what you need to keep you
alert during a boring class. Or you may guzzle an energy drink to help
you stay awake for studying during finals week. But actually, caffeine con-
sumption has been linked to students not doing as well in school. Scien-
tists suspect that caffeine
may affect your abil-
ity to remember and
learn. Caffeine also
interferes with your
sleep schedule—and
sleepy brains don’t
learn as well!
