We find that consuming too much caffeine can affect both our minds and bodies. Some studies show that our mind is awake so long that our body can’t keep up with it. Caffeine reduces the amount of deep sleep that we enjoy from our mind being awake. Studies by Christopher Drake and others show that having over,
“400 mg of caffeine taken 0, 3, or even 6 hours before bedtime significantly disrupts sleep. Even at 6 hours, caffeine reduced sleep by more than 1 hour. This degree of sleep loss, if experienced over multiple nights, may have detrimental effects on daytime function.”
Our sleep cycle is significantly affected by this as when it’s time for us to sleep we can’t do to our brain telling us to get up. It’s like our mind is in an endless loop and we don’t know whether we are awake or asleep. I found that high school students can’t even focus in class due to them being always tired, they gave us a small video from CBC News on students who are sleep deprived which is called, Generation sleep deprived: How lack of sleep is hurting Canadian teens | In-Depth.
Caffeine affects our sleep by blocking our adenosine receptors which are supposed to help produce chemicals in our brain that help us wake up. The more chemicals that are produced the more we feel sleepy but the caffeine blocks it all. From it builds up so much the caffeine blocks this process, which makes us remain alert and vigilant at all times. I found a video that talks about how coffee can ruin your sleep from the Sleep Foundation. Which tells us how to avoid caffeine if we want to sleep better, but the reality is a little more complicated. Studies show that caffeine and adenosine compete with one another for receptors in our brains. But caffeine doesn’t decrease the adenosine in our body like it does with sleep. Instead, it prevents the amount of adenosine from being received by our brain making us feel less drowsy.

Hey, Ladybug! There’s good evidence and good work here.
Don’t undermine it by insulting your readers.
Nobody likes to be preached to or lectured by a college student writing a research paper. If you want to make friends with your readers (and you DO if you’re hope to persuade them), create COMMON CAUSE with them. Use WE, OUR, OURSELVES as your preferred pronouns. Make sure your readers know you’re ONE OF THEM.

You have not enough material here to qualify as a complete Causal Argument, but I’ll grade it preliminarily to acknowledge you published a first draft for consideration.

Provisionally graded. Revisions are always recommended (required for two short arguments) and Regrades are always available. Put your post back into Feedback Please and request a regrade when you’ve made significant improvements.
I’m still adding information to the causal rewrite, I submitted what I had so far so it wouldn’t be turned in late.
I’m guessing the YB means Your Brain, and the OC means On Caffeine, but I’m puzzled by the AM (And Mine? After Midnight?)
