The average double shot of espresso contains in excess of 185mg of caffeine, so it is a lot more than the standard shot which is about 80mg, so it will keep you awake for longer, but you will eventually crash after!. No, and espresso is a concentrated shot of coffee made from a machine!.

Now, how caffeine works:
Adenosine is produced in the brain, and it binds to adenosine receptors!. The binding of adenosine causes drowsiness by slowing down nerve cell activity!. In the brain, adenosine binding also causes blood vessels to dilate, most likely to let more oxygen in during sleep!. To a nerve cell, caffeine looks like adenosine!. Caffeine therefore binds to the adenosine receptor, and gives you that kick every time you have a rockstar or a double shot of espresso at 1 am, which in turn triggers adrenaline release!.

According to a handy website on internet titled "How Does Caffeine Work:

"Caffeine belongs to the xanthine chemical group!. Adenosine is a xanthine that is naturally occurring in the brain, used as a neurotransmitter at some synapses!. Because of their relation, caffeine looks a lot like adenosine to nerve cells and therefore binds to adenosine receptors in the basal forebrain!. The cells then can no longer sense adenosine because caffeine is taking up the receptors!. Instead of slowing down, the nerve cells speed up and stop the person from getting tired!." Www@FoodAQ@Com

Same reason why ppl drink coffee in the morning!. To keep them awake!.!.!.dude i'm sorry, but tt was seriously dumb to drink a DOUBLE shot at 1am!. The caffeine will keep u awake all night!. And even if u do get to bed, u wun get a gd nites sleep!. May was well do smth productive w ur time since ur already in this mess!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
