The person in charge of the new study, an associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, Jamie Dr. Cai Cile said, most college students lack of sleep, no matter how much they drink coffee, they can fell down asleep quickly. For "lark" type of person, if they intake more caffeine, they will be refreshing during the sleep process at night. This did not reflect on the "night owl" type of person.
The next step of study will be expand the same study to adults to make sure that the caffeine only effect "lark" type people.
