| - | The concentration of caffeine in the blood peaks 30-60 minutes after it is consumed, and has a half life from two to ten hours (Weinberg, & Bealer, 2001). This means that in approximately twelve hours most of the caffeine is diminished from the body (Weinberg, & Bealer, 2001). During that time the caffeine has peaked in the body, medical studies have linked caffeine use to a spectrum of symptoms. Some of which include: aggravation, improving performance of simple tasks, impairing short term memory, improving athletic performance, increasing concentration, insomnia, suppressing appetite, restlessness, and increasing alertness and attentiveness (Weinberg, & Bealer, 2001). Specifically, 1 gram of caffeine (equivalent to about six cups of coffee), can induce insomnia, restlessness, ringing in the ears, confusion, tremors, cardiac arrhythmias, vomiting and diarrhea (Weinberg, & Bealer, 2001). | + | The concentration of caffeine in the blood peaks 30-60 minutes after it is consumed, and has a half life from two to ten hours (Weinberg, & Bealer, 2001).
