I drank too much caffeine

[manlymatt83]

I had to drive from Boston last night and got a coffee at 1 AM on the way down. I don't drink coffee often but needed to stay up. Needless to say, it's 8 AM and I've barely gotten any shut eye. How much longer till it wears off and any tips/tricks?

300 mg of caffeine is worn off in 8 hours?

caffeine lasts me about 3 hrs tops. i probably consume 800mg's or so a day. sleep just fine, you must just be very sensitive to it, keep drinking coffee, it will pass.

caffeine has a half-life of ~5 hours in a healthy adult. So you should only have like 75 mg in your system by now. That's like a 20oz coke.

Too much caffeine?

I've never heard of such a thing.

Too much caffeine will leave you feeling like the world is just a little bit slower. Also, you feel loopy, laughter is extremely contagious, super bubbly, and a touch of euphoria.

I did that a few times in high school, typically once a week or every other week.

Usually, I'd make 4 double-shots of espresso to start the morning (served various ways, typically one big coffee cup with chocolate syrup and a little milk). Around lunch time, me and a few of my buddies that were also in the CCNA program (which lasted the second half of the day, after lunch) would then down one of those massive Monster cans.

Needless to say, it was quite.. interesting. I was quite literally high on caffeine. And it was awesome. :biggrin:

If you stroke your vagina for a while it'll help you sleep.

If you're getting jittery, drinking some water can help. Beyond that, as others have said, give it a few hours and you'll be back to normal.
