Many people who suffer from insomnia try to treat it themselves--but often on the wrong end of the problem. After a rough or sleepless night, most people will grab a cup of coffee before heading off to work. However, by doing this, you're only treating the effects of your insomnia--not the cause--and may even be making your problems worse.

Caffeine works to keep you awake because it mimics adenosine--a brain chemical that causes relaxation and sleep. Caffeine binds to the same sites in the brain that adenosine does, but since it is only an impostor, it serves to interfere with adenosine action. The result is that coffee prevents you from feeling tired by blocking the effects of natural brain chemicals that make you want to sleep.

While this may work to keep you alert at work, coffee is no substitute for good sleep. Caffeine cannot help you form memories the way that REM sleep does, and it cannot boost your immune system like deep sleep will. What's more, you can become dependent on caffeine and experience headaches and nausea if you go a day without your coffee.
