Rory McIlroy's caffeine cut-off improves sleep and energy

Rory McIlroy has shared a personal health tip that helps improve his sleep and boost his energy. The golf star focuses on when he drinks caffeine in order to enhance his well-being. McIlroy told Golf Digest that he avoids caffeine after 2 p.m. He usually has two double espressos each day—one in the morning and one after lunch. Each double espresso contains about 120-150 milligrams of caffeine. This means he consumes around 240-300 mg of caffeine daily, close to the recommended maximum of 400 mg. Cutting down on caffeine can lead to better sleep quality, less anxiety, and lower blood pressure. McIlroy believes that by limiting caffeine intake, he can maintain a healthier lifestyle. Caffeine can disrupt sleep cycles and create a need for bathroom breaks, making good rest difficult. Experts have mixed opinions on caffeine's effects on blood pressure. Some believe that reducing caffeine could lower blood pressure and, in turn, decrease the risk of serious health issues. McIlroy's focus on managing his caffeine intake comes after his recent victory at the Players Championship. He is now preparing for the Masters tournament in April.
