Do you need caffeine in the morning?

I'm entering my 4th year in college and my years have been filled with all nighters, early mornings, etc., and I've worked full time 7-4 and 8-5 shifts for the past two summers, and have never had the slightest urge to drink coffee or take caffeine.

I've tried it a couple times in preparing for exams, and all it did was make my heart pump harder, my hands shaky, and skyrocket my anxiety. I can get through my early classes if I force myself to pay attention and take notes, and easily get through a work day so long as I'm doing something.

Then usually after I get home I might pass out for up to an hour or two.

That said I still usually require a good 8-9 hours a sleep a day otherwise once I become idle and have a nice bed/couch handy, I'll immediately fall asleep.

Nah - I avoid it. Don't want to become hooked on it just to feel normal.

Yes, but I can't have it at all for a while. Stupid *ahem* "down there" injury.

If you NEED it, then you are a loser!!! Don't you have any sort of will power?!? You are addicted and you are weak and puny!!!!! I don't need caffeine........on the other hand, I do need alcohol though, couldn't live without it.

Its still odd that pre-teens and teens are relying on coffee and caffiene.

Yet I do not.
I just drink it if I can find any soda with caffiene, since the school just put a "healthy" lunch rule, changing the whole lunch schedule and stuff that they sell.... No more pop machines.

They did the same thing at my school. From the sounds of things, if it tastes good, you can't have it...

Why they can't take the damn Coca-Cola and Pepsi logos off the damn vending machines though... That's just a tease.

On T.: I have at leasta glass of RC in the morning.
