Idk what it is but caffeine literally never hits me like this.

I would legit have:

Hot milk with a bit of ground coffee in the morning

2 cappuccinos at work

A cold brew on the way home

And maybe some tea once I’m home.

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.

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.
