I have accidentally discovered that drinking coffee makes me sleepy. When this theory began to occur to me, through trial and error really, I googled it (of course I did.) Turns out that drinking coffee has the same kind of effect of eating a lot of sugar - you may get a temporary jolt from it but you'll crash if that's how your metabolism handles

I LOVE coffee. It is the nectar of the gods.

I LOVE coffee, too - I have been accused of being a coffee snob because I prefer really good coffe, but that's digressing. The point is, mead is the nectar of the gods. Coffee is the water of the gods. Water, you drink all the time. Nectar, not so much.

I drink coffee all day and all night. It's my Ritalin or whatever they give to hyper kids nowadays. I learned in my teens that caffeine calmed me, not stimulated me, unless I drank 3 double-shot mochas in a row. Ooh, now that's one jittery buzz, too.

Aren't weird metabolisms fun????

I thought it was just me since coffee is to wake you up, not the other way about. I will really take that into account if I plan to keep drinking coffee in the future.

Everything good, though students show up yesterday, and I lost money because I travel by bus to reach the institute where I teach.

I drink a lot of coffee, I prefer the stuff I make, and coffee is part of a nice calm morning. It doesn't wake me or make me sleepy, but I can tell you that if I don't have it, the headache is intense. And not that you care, but if I haven't slept well I can only have two cups of it as no sleep and excess coffee completely screws with my stomach.

I haven't noticed a correlation between my skin and my coffee intake, but 'they' do say that whatever you have for caffeine drinks you should add that many glasses of water to the 8 you already are supposed to have. That might help the skin.

I'm rambling here so as to avoid work and writing. *sigh*
