5 | Journal Club: Caffeine

For this week’s journal club, Virginia and Frances get to discuss a topic near and dear to their hearts: caffeine. Virginia discusses “Impact of Caffeine Ingestion on the Driving Performance of Anesthesiology Residents After 6 Consecutive Overnight Work Shifts” (Kleiman et al. 2020). She relays how tired medical residents may find benefit in caffeine consumption before driving home after a long shift. Frances talks about “The dynamic relationship between daily caffeine intake and sleep duration in middle-aged and older adults” (Hu et al. 2020). She details how your sleep is probably affecting how much caffeine you drink.
