Sleep Quality and Duration in Children That Consume Caffeine: Impact of Dose and Genetic Variation in ADORA2A and CYP1A.

Abstract excerpt

Caffeine is the most consumed drug in the world, and it is commonly used by children. Despite being considered relatively safe, caffeine can have marked effects on sleep. Studies in adults suggest that genetic variants in the adenosine A2A receptor (ADORA2A, rs5751876) and cytochrome P450 1A (CYP1A, rs2472297, rs762551) loci are correlated with caffeine-associated sleep disturbances and caffeine intake (dose),...
