Is Chocolate Keeping You Awake?

Mastery Newsletter, March 6, 2023

 

Chocolate has caffeine. Did you know?

 

I had heard that but thought nothing of it.

 

You have heard that the caffeine in coffee can disturb sleep.

 

But might the caffeine in chocolate do the same?

 

Full disclosure. I am a self-confessed chocoholic. I was taking after lunch and dinner every day.

 

Then, picked up Tony Robbins most recent book Life Force.

 

Opened it randomly and the sleep chapter came up.

 

1. I am up for this chapter. A doctor reveals that caffeine has a “quarter life” of 12-15 hours.

 

That means, he explains, that if you have coffee at noon, one quarter of the caffeine is sill in your brain at midnight.

 

Hmm, says I. I wonder if the same applies for chocolate.

 

So…3 days ago, I thought I would experiment with not having chocolate after 12 noon…

 

That night, had a better sleep. In fact, one of the best sleeps in some time.

 

Whoa…is this a coincidence?

 

I did it a second day. Same result.

 

Day 3 and night 3. Another good sleep.

 

I have not had 3 really good sleeps in a row like that.

 

Could be a coincidence. Will continue the experiment.

 

I miss the chocolate…a little, not much.

 

Hope this is useful.
