Aroma of Coffee Relieves Stress

[SuzySushi]

Just the smell of freshly brewed coffee can help relieve stress, say Korean researchers who studied the effects of coffee aroma on sleep-deprived rats.

Interesting, no?

The aroma of coffee helps relieve stress? Or helps relieve stress when you're sleep-deprived?

Depends on the coffee.

If it's an aromatic, freshly-brewed, really good coffee, it would relieve my stress unless I couldn't have some. Or unless the only cream around was the powdered kind.

But smelling the six-hours-old, burn-the-hair-out-of-your-nose stuff we have at work induces stress for me.
