Andrew Tate receives flak over coffee-related ‘life-hack’, trolls say 'another way to shorten life expectancy'
BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Andrew Tate aka 'Top G' is one of the most followed influencers, despite his controversial views. Now the former kickboxer has once again ignited a heated discussion with his recent 'life hack'.
This comes after the 36-year-old claimed on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), suggesting that women cannot provide assistance to men and that men have no grounds for dependency on women.
What did Andrew Tate say?
On September 24, Sunday, Tate took to X to give his ardent followers a piece of life hack. Tate claimed having two coffees would give people the energy to receive a good night's sleep.
He wrote, "Life hack. Have two coffees and then instantly go to bed. This will give you the energy you need for a good nights sleep."
Tate's tweet further read, "4 hours sleep becomes 8 hours sleep if your heart rate has doubled."
Tate's post has approximately 6 million views as of the time of writing, and as was to be expected, it drew a lot of criticism, with many people disproving his life hack.
Tate's claim was also labeled as unscientific. Additionally, his life hack was quickly shut down by the community notes attached to his tweet.
It said, "This will not improve your sleep experience, but significantly worsen it. Two cups of coffee (~300mg of caffeine) will already reduce your sleep by at least 1 hour. It's recommended to not consume caffeine after 5 pm."
A significant development that occurred around the time Elon Musk took over as CEO was the launch of the Community Note function on X.
This feature essentially encourages teamwork to improve knowledge sharing throughout the platform by giving posts useful context.
Regarding Tate's initial assertion, there is now little to no evidence to substantiate the notion that coffee improves the quality of sleep.
