Why does tea sweep away sleep?

Question

Why does tea sweep away sleep?

Answer 1

Caffeine

some loose leaf teas have caffeine and some don't. If I am about to go to bed or just want to calm down I drink white tea, herbal tea or rooibos tea (my favorite)which I get at Ocean Of Tea.com. If I am looking to stay awake or just feel down and want to perk up, I brew up some Pu-Erh or Black tea which contains 20% of the caffeine in a cup of coffee. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Hi,

An easy one this actually; tea contains caffeine, which is a natural stimulant (perks you up, so to speak).

I read once that tea actually contains more caffeine than coffee but it's not something I'm in a rush to check up on.

Hope this helps.

Sweep away?

How about the caffeine!

Answer 4

Caffeine.  Try herbal or decaffeinated teas if you plan on drinking prior to bedtime.

Answer 5

Because most are caffeinated.

If you are talking about helping you sleep, because it is warm and has herbs in it that help soothe you down.

Answer 6

Caffeine.
