Caffeine is a drug with mostly useful effects and limited negative side effects. It does improve alertness, so most people use it to stay awake or to feel more awake. Studies have shown that caffeine works best when taken in smaller doses - several normal-sized cups of tea or coffee over several hours instead of a "Venti" latte or other giant-sized espresso drink. Caffeine does not help you study or memorize, but it does help keep you more alert while you work.
I agree that smaller doses are much more beneficial then indulging in one large cup of coffee immediately. But despite studies that claim caffeine just keeps you alert and doesn't help you study, I happen to disagree. I can't study for more than an hour or two without some kind of caffeine. Maybe that's just me, but when I drink a cup of coffee slowly over a spread out period, I notice I study for hours attentively and process more information. I believe its the safest way to study longer and legally the most effective way.
Yes, that is what the original paragraph said - caffeine makes you more alert, and being more alert helps you to study more effectively.

∙ 12y agoFlorian Koppelstaetter, MD, of Austria's Medical University at Innsbruck performed a study on about a dozen healthy adults that showed caffeine boosted brain activity in the regions of the brain related to short term memory storage and attention. Some of the participants were given the equivalent of about one cup of coffee and the others received a placebo. They were then administered tests that made them use the parts of the brain involved in short term memory storage; they were given a grouping of letters and they were asked to recall them shortly after. Brain scans done on the participants showed that those who were given the caffeine had enhanced brain activity compared to those without the caffeine, and those with the caffeine scored significantly higher than those without.
