caffeine

[SWScorch]

I was just reading joohang's "tired" thread and someone mentioned caffeine. I realized that caffeine does not affect me at all. Well, it makes me pee a lot, but it has no effect on my alertness or sleeping habits. I could drink a gallon of black coffee and drop straight off to sleep. I know this for a fact because I've done it before. I've tried to stay up all night for one reason or another, and drank a lot of coffee and still fell asleep.

Is this just some physiological thing? How many other people are unaffected like me?

Suger helps alot, too. Drink a gallon of Mountain Dew Code Red and see if you can sleep. :Q

according to my father (a neurologist) caffeine's lack of effect on you might be a symptom of hyperactivity. he has the same problem. i do too, but i think it's more related to the fact that i drink too much coffee and therefore caffeine has less of an effect on me.

Caffeine affects some people less than others. That being said, it works by keeping your adrenal glands open; consequently, if you have adrenaline flowing through your system and you top it off with caffeine, you'll feel the effects much more. That's why it's a favorite of rock-climbing gods like Chris Sharma.

Wouldn't that be '=='?

Hmm... I suppose I could be classified as hyperactive... I'm not the type of person who is always moving around at top speed trying to do everything at once, but it is very hard for me to sit still without moving somehow, whether it be tapping my foot and drumming my fingers or what... And I'm very active and very much into sports and running and the like.

Damnit Jim, I'm a mountain biker, not a programmer.

Coke never did anything for me. I have recently started drinking coffee, and if consumed in exess, I will stay awake. Not on one cup though, takes about 3. And the pee thing....don't even get me started...
