Coffee more important than sex in the morning

A new research has revealed that people prefer to have a cup of coffee over sex when they first wake up in the morning.

The study, conducted by Le Meridien hotel group, found that over 5 percent of their guests would rather have their caffeine fix than sex to start the day, News.com.au reported.

The findings showed that people are so addicted to coffee that they would give up alcohol, social media and sex for a year rather than miss out on coffee for the same amount of time.

For the research, the French-based hotel chain questioned regular travellers in 6 countries, including the USA and China.

While a quarter of those surveyed said that without coffee they felt less creative, 22 percent said that they could not even get out of bed.

And 16 percent respondents claimed that they could not talk to other people without their coffee fix.
