Caffeine Sleep Sensitivity

Clearance rates (CYP1A2) and adenosine receptor sensitivity (ADORA2A) influence on evening caffeine sleep latency.

Biological Mechanism & Scientific Context

Even among fast caffeine metabolizers, differences in the ADORA2A adenosine receptor modulate whether residual caffeine molecules block adenosine binding, increasing nocturnal awakenings and suppressing restorative slow-wave sleep.
