Recent studies have shown that caffeine has many advantages. Particularly famous as an advantage of caffeine is to enhance human vitality and reduce fatigue. This effect also leads to improvement of cognitive ability and exercise performance, and it can also support other short term memory and concentration improvement.

However, with regard to "intake of caffeine" in relation to "creative", there are more disadvantages than benefits.

"Creative" is required in various situations, such as when writing poetry or thinking mathematical proofs, etc. "It is possible to connect ideas, components, concepts, etc. in some wayabilityIt can be defined as.

Creativity and imagination come up when you quit the work on a specific problem or are distracted by other unrelated things. actuallyOne studyObliged the subjects to require creative thinking tasks, it was clear that the task obligated when engaged in other different things remarkably improved, not when concentrating on tasks It is getting. In other words, if released from an extremely concentrated state, it may be said that unconsciously the association process of things and things is accelerated, making creative ideas easier.

However, caffeine prevents the brain from distracting attention to various things, and strengthens attention. As a result, "creative" which combines unexpected and unexpected things by associating various things does not work well, that is, caffeine ingestion decreases creative.

further,Research conducted in 2009Then, it is also known that people who slept REM can have better results in tests that measure 'creative thinking' than those who do not. This is because the task of integrating unrelated information in the human brain during REM sleep is advanced, so after waking up from REM sleep it is easier to test associative tests and creativity than before sleep It seems that it is because the problem can be solved.

Since sleep deprivation seems to have a bad influence on creative as a matter of course, in the case that "I do not want to do something that would hurt creativity while fighting drowsiness", the body is not relying on the intake of caffeine It seems to be good to move it or put a little breath away.
