2. Insomnia

While caffeine might be just the ticket to help you wake up in the morning, too much can affect restful sleep at night. Many nutritional experts recommend avoiding caffeine after four pm to allow your body to purge it from your system completely. Caffeine may not just prevent people from falling asleep easily, it may also impact the restorative REM sleep, and its effects often increase as people age. Therefore, experts even more strongly recommend older people limit caffeine.
