Dreams become more vivid when cutting down on coffee

People who reduce their coffee intake often say their dreams become more vivid and memorable. This is linked to caffeine’s effect on the sleep process. It usually keeps people alert and blocks the substance that induces sleepiness.

Coffee consumed late in the day worsens sleep quality. When less coffee is consumed, sleep recovers and the body gets more rest. In particular, the sleep phase when dreams are most active — REM sleep — increases.

As a result, people cutting back on coffee often experience more vivid and sometimes strange dreams. Such dreams are often remembered due to strong emotions.

Experts recommend avoiding coffee at least 8 hours before bedtime. This helps ensure healthy sleep and makes dreams more memorable.
