Caffeine and adenosine have similar chemical ring structures. Caffeine competes with adenosine molecules and blocks the function of adenosine receptors, which prevents the body from functioning normally when it needs to rest or feel tired.

Therefore, during the day when the body is alert, the body will have more adenosine binding to the receptors, making the body feel more sleepy. สมัคร ufabet At the same time, when the body is resting and sleeping, adenosine is gradually released.
