Abstract

Coffee and caffeinated drinks are popular beverages and consumed daily worldwide (Araújo et al., 2015). As a psychoactive stimulant, caffeine has been shown to improve alertness, vigilance, attention, and mood (Araújo et al., 2015). Usually in the form of coffee, caffeine is consumed by over 80% of the United States adult population and is typically expected to enhance cognitive function (McLellan, Caldwell, & Lieberman, 2016). Caffeine consistently improves mood, reaction time and vigilance when alertness is reduced, and given that a basic level of arousal is essential for the performance of any task, it is logical that caffeine is particularly useful in fatiguing circumstances (McLellan et al., 2016).
