It finally clicked that coffee doesn’t give me more energy, it just makes me less tired.

I knew it but didn’t really internalize it until quitting caffeine for 2mo.

A loan of energy is a handy way to think of it.

Caffeine doesn’t give energy. It  inhibits the receptors “adenosine” I think, that tell your body you’re tired - so you’re depleting more than you should. It’s like a loan of energy… When caffeine breaks down in the body you get the crash.

Agree. Good thing is it’s not either or.

But coffee enriches life with enjoyment and that counts for something

so back

been doing 1 coffee a day when I feel like it, otherwise decaf.

pretty good flow

Quitting caffeine and alcohol was the most insane energy boost for me

It’s wild because caffeine displaces adenosine, one of the molecules inside ATP, and ATP is used as a fundamental energy source

anyone who needs caffeine I call them caf fiend

Idk why it’s the opposite for me…I’m not a coffe person, but during exams I usually take coffee to keep me awake

I still feel sleepy after😩
