Caffeine doesn’t make you less tired. It just occupies the receptors that normal sleep-inducing chemicals occupy. So what happens is you stay as tired as you are but you can’t fall asleep. It’s great if you want to stay up, but it’s not a magic bullet.
And then there are those that get MORE tired after drinking caffeine.
I really fucking hate how sensitive my body’s become to caffeine as I’ve gotten older; even just one cup of coffee puts me at what feels like the prologue to a panic attack, but without the panic attack (thanks Prozac?).
So with that and being sober, I am a fish out of water whenever I visit Germany. “So uh, do you have anything that’s non-caffeinated, non-alcoholic, and um, preferably diet? just water? yeah fine, that’s what I thought.”
Then what is he drinking outside of Germany if water is not what he actually wanted? That does not add up.
No coffee: tired. Coffee: tired, but faster
Are you trying to suggest I should not hear my own heartbeat like a eurobeat song in my ears?!? Combined with my tinnitus it’s almost like a 90s techno song.
