Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

 Psychomotor performance of the individual including attention span, concentration has been shown to be reduced during the post-lunch period. This post-lunch dip phenomenon has been seen even if the individuals has not consumed lunch and has been linked to 12-hour harmonic in 24-hour circadian rhythm. Caffeine tablets at 3 mg/kg, when added to decaffeinated coffee, was found to increase attention span and mood of the individual during this post-lunch period.  However, the effect of regular coffee of caffeine at the dose of 100 mg on critical flicker fusion test, multiple choice reaction time and hand steadiness test has not been directly studied. Hence, the present study aims to evaluate the effect of regular and decaffeinated coffee on psychomotor performance (critical flicker fusion test, multiple choice reaction time and hand steadiness test) in healthy volunteers during the post-lunch period.
