FIZZ ALERT Just one energy drink a month is enough to destroy your sleep, scientists find
Energy drinks have also been linked to a range of serious health problems, including suicidal thoughts
DRINKING just one energy drink a month could increase your risk of sleep problems, a study shows.
Regularly knocking back cans of drinks like Red Bull or Monster boosts your chances of insomnia, Norwegian researchers found.
Young people aged 18 to 35 who had the drinks every day slept around half an hour less than those drinking them occasionally or not at all.
The high caffeine content damages sleep quality, even if you only have them on occasion, they said.
Lead author Siri Kaldenbach, of Innlandet Hospital Trust, said: “Even small amounts of energy drinks were associated with poorer sleep outcomes.
“Most of the associations between energy drink and sleep were similar for male and female students but with a few notable exceptions.
“For bedtime and rise time, we observed a significantly stronger effect for men compared with women.”
Some one in three Brits suffer with insomnia — which makes sleeping difficult — while nearly three quarters miss out on the recommended seven to nine hours a night.
Too little sleep has been linked to a host of serious health conditions, including heart disease, Alzheimer’s, anxiety and depression.
Energy drinks contain an average caffeine content of 150 mg per litre as well as sugar.
