Because caffeine doesn’t work that way people. If you are already tired the coffee will NOT make you more alert it just prevents you from becoming more tired for a short period.
When you drink coffee and feel hyper or more awake you are feeling the effects of the sugar. If you don’t use sugar, you are feeling the placebo effect.
DRINK WATER
Correct on how caffeine works, but sugar doesn’t cause hyperactivity, that has been disproven. It’s likely because caffeine is a stimulant so it’ll make your heart beat faster so you might feel more hyper
That’s only sort of correct. It’s only true if you narrowly define hyperactivity as some very specific condition. The studies clearly say that people can experience a “sugar rush” after consuming sugar. The problem is that “sugar rush” is exactly what most people mean when they say hyperactivity. Hyperactivity as in activity that becomes hyper. Hyper as in “above or excessive”, activity as in “doing stuff”. So, “doing excessive stuff”.
Coffee does absolutely nothing to me. I believe everyone saying it has any effect are all in on one huge joke that I’m not in on. I can pour a little down my throat and there in exactly zero change.
i’ve heard this means you probably have adhd, or something… also that’s my experience.
incidentally, coffee works better at keeping you awake than making you awake…
so if you’re already sleepy it won’t really do much, but if you’re awake and want to stay up late, it’ll work for that.
I heard that, too. Looking at my partner with diagnosed ADHD, I’m at most very low on that spectrum, but it might indeed be non-zero. Due to another condition, I am statistically more likely to have it than not.
I have ADHD, and it’s the opposite: I’m very sensitive to caffeine.
If I vape some weed and drink a coke zero it’ll usually result in a panic attack. Still did it like 15 times, I am very smart.
I guess that works for those who caffeine perks you up. I drink it to calm down and relax.
For me, there’s a uniquely difficult to find and ever changing line between not caffeinated enough to notice and “oh my god why is everything buzzing now I can’t think straight” when it comes to caffeine. Doesn’t matter if I’m drinking coffee, tea, or any other caffeinated drink. One sip too much and suddenly my ears are twitching uncontrollably, my heart is racing, and I can’t focus on anything productive. One day a cup of coffee is the sweet spot, the next day it’s two. Day three a glass of tea will throw me for a loop.

You’ll realy enjoy this:
Beta blockers allow more caffeine intake
I almost always drink 32oz of black coffee a day. For more than a decade that seemed to be perfect.
As of late I’ve found however that I’m still tired and end up slipping an extra cup in.
Drinking coffee is not just for getting refreshed, right?
Worse, you get more tired

Here’s a /c/dullmensclub thing I learned lately, staying hydrated will give you more energy. So I’ve been doing cups of tea with a pinch of salt for the electrolytes and then sip on water in between. The hell of it is it works but my adhd ass will forget and I’ll have to rediscover this simple shit if I can’t at least habit stack it.

Although staying hydrated will keep your energy levels up, tea has caffeine in it, too. As long as you’re eating food once in awhile, you don’t need to worry about electrolytes.

I’ve been doing well with herbal teas too, my lemon blend pairs decent. I add sugar to all my teas as well so I barely taste any salt.

I never drank any coffee and I’m also able to live. People who “need” coffee are often caffeine addicts.
Like you said, water is all you really need, tea is great also if you want a bit of taste.

Caffeine addiction is a bit of a who cares situation
