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

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.
