There are timer that caffeine has a big effect on my sleep pattern, but there are also times that it doesn't have any effect, especially when I'm so tired and very sleepy. How about you?
My parents gave me caffeine as a little girl to get me to sleep. As I got older I noticed changes to this drug.
My ADHD doctor said caffeine has a different effect on ADHDers. It acts the same way in the body as the medications given to control ADHD. So the old wise tail my mother new of, was correct I guess?
Hi Jewi, I guess it is a old remedy according to my mother. Different drugs do different things to people apparently? Drinking plenty of water with caffeine helps :0) I also here it drains a body of water?? Or maybe this is just coffee? Have you heard of this??
I drink no coffee at all since my first taste in 1944. I also have drunk no tea in over 10 years. I drink no soft drinks with caffeine in them. (I do eat chocolate sometimes. Yum.)
Therefore one would thing that drinking strong tea to stay awake while driving would help. But it did not help at all.
Caffeine is added to medications from your doctor. It is added to energy drinks, baked goods, on and on. So someone who is not exposed to caffeine is a rarity!!
I take no medications. I use no energy drinks. I do eat baked goods. I am sure that I am exposed to it but in very small quantities so far as I can tell.
From the stats, coffee and tea have about the same caffeine. For some strange reason, I can drink iced tea late into the evening; but I have to stop the coffee by 12 noon!.
Im not quite sure if iced tea and tea have the same ingredients. I think you may be referring to iced tea and not tea.. Though im not also quite sure of its effects..
I drink 1-1/2 cups in the a.m., 1 iced coffee (with remaining leftover coffee from the a.m.) in the late afternoon (3-4) and that is it. I guess I am immune at this point. It used to bother me a lot but at that time I was just drinking it in the morning.
im having a hard time getting my habits back to normal for the last 10 years i have drove a truck at nite or all nite slept in the day its hard to get use to and the meds i take arnt helping either.
