It’s noon now, I woke up in the morning and not doing many things had two cups of coffee. And I almost fell asleep with my head on the table. Such situation is nothing unusual for me. I can have coffee in the evening before sleep and sleep well after the coffee. I like coffee mostly because of its mildly bitter taste which together with milk is delicious for me. Is there anyone else experiencing such funny or weird effects of things that are supposed to work differently? Just curious, if anyone wants to share it will be interesting.
As a middle-aged person with a lifelong coffee addiction, this discussion has given me food for thought. I have found it interesting to read the various responses. In particular, the ones that mention ADHD.
I'm not so sure that coffee causes me to feel drowsy as such, but I am aware that if I drink coffee when I'm already feeling drowsy, it seldom seems to affect my ability to drop off to sleep. Whether it affects my quality of sleep is another matter.It doesn't happen with every cup of coffee I drink, but sometimes I will drink one that really seems to hit the spot and relax me. It will have been made the same way, with the same brand of coffee, same size and shape of mug, and same quantity of coffee, boiled water and milk, but somehow the taste of it just seems considerably more satisfying. This is irrespective of whether I have made it myself, or it's been made by someone else.
