Can coffee really keep you awake?!
Can coffee really keep you awake?
I mean they say it works, but it never does for me. Is it really true you can stay awake with coffee, or is it just a story?
Answers:
For most people, i'll keep them awake, but for some, it just doesn't register. It's really a genetics thing. If you want to stay awake but coffee doesn't work, DON'T TRY TEA. It'll just make you drowsy. Insted, try a soda or splash your face with some cold water. If you want to stick with coffee, try a different kind, more sugar, less sugar, decaf, regular, more milk, less milk, cream, no cream experiment, and maybe a different type of coffee will make you stay up. Eye drops are also good to stay awake with. Even though they do take a couple minutes to get fully "absored" into your eye, your eye's will get more liquid and they'll be more stable to open your lids. Hope this helps!
It may work on some people but I always go to bed after a good cup of coffee.
if you generally drink a lot of tea/coffee then it wont have much effect. i have decaf 99% of the time so if i have regular, even only 1 cup, then im buzzing for hours! caffine is a stimulant and will keep you awake if you have more than your normal daily amount. it also increases blood pressure which is also bad.
....it has caffeine in it.
Its what ever you believe. If you don't drink coffee and want to stay awake you will. If you drink coffee and want to stay awake you will. If you drink a cold drink and want to stay awake you will. Life is a mind game play it wrong and you loose.
i don't know if this is true but it has caffine in it and isn't cafeen supposeed to keep you awake? just make sure NOT TO GET decafe
Yes it can keep you awake. It is the Caffeine in the coffee that keeps you awake.
Coffee contains caffeine which is a light stimulant drug. Being a stimulant, it's supposed to keep you awake but in no ways is coffee meant to substitute sleep. Though your questions says otherwise, I recommend drinking coffee before bed.
coffee can help you to stay awake but only for a short period of time, approx 20 minutes, then you will need another cup which will take about 20 mins to work by which time you could be asleep.
It works for some people but not all, it's the caffeine. If your trying to stay awake at night try drinking Mtn. Dew or Dr. Pepper. Those 2 sodas have more caffeine in them than any other soda (besides Jolt).
any type of caffeine can keep you a wake, from chocolate bars to hot cocoa even coca cola. if you are welling to drink alot of it.
It is the caffeine in coffee that helps you stay awake (sometimes the sugar depending on how you drink yours). I have a mild case of ADHD so things highly caffeinted will actually put me to sleep (of course not proven by a DR but a lot of my friend are the same way and some have been proven ADD or ADHD). If it isn't working for you try something like Monster, suppodsly Coca-Cola (caffeinted as well) alwso keeps people up but never me ;)
for some people when you drink coffee at night it helps people go to sleep but for other people it keeps them awake at night
It depends on the person metabolism!@~
yes, with whiskey
If you haven't worked very hard and drank a lot of coffee, yes it can mess up your night. If you have a long hard days work coffee will not keep you from needed sleep. Most people who have trouble with coffee keeping them up are retired or have light duty jobs. Anyone who does hard physical labor is very unlikely to be kept awake by coffee if they want to sleep. You must be a very active person.
NO
Depends on whom it is. I used to work in a coffee house, after gotting prone to coffee based anything, I get tired drinking it now.
coffee can keep you awake unless, you have ADD or ADHD, for those people caffein calms them down (decaf will not keep you awake, because there is no caffein)
Yes, it does makes you stay awake because it has so much caffeine in it.
