Why does caffeine calm me down and make me tired?!
Question:
Why does caffeine calm me down and make me tired?
Sometimes when I drink caffeinated beverages I feel a really big rush, especially when in social settings. But when I drink caffeine and I'm already tired or alone or bored, I get really calm, relaxed, mellow, and tired.
Answers:
While it is worse for some, everybody crashes after ingesting caffeine. The people who don't notice probably have a constant caffeine intake. If you don't drink that much with caffeine in it you will definitely notice it more. I have to stay away from caffeine (even the little bit in chocolate bothers me) because the crashes are just too fast and too severe for me. I'm hypoglycemic and doctors have told me that there is a tie-in to caffeine sensitivity.
