Why does Caffine make me tired?!


Question:

Why does Caffine make me tired?

Normally people go for the cup of coffee or something with caffine in it when they need to wake up, well when I drink pop, coffee, or anything with caffine in it I get really sleepy. Why is that?


Answers:
Here is my theory - because same thing happens to me - when you drink caffeine is speeds up your heart rate, etc. When this happens it actually makes your body crash - get tired very easily. Some people it does not affect this way - but it does me. I feel that rapid heart beat for a short time - then I'm so tired. Don't know if I explained it well enough - but that is my theory.

This has been happening to me too lately. I drank some Mountain Dew, and I got really sleepy. I have ADD, so I don't know if that makes a difference?

All I know for sure is that if you have too much caffeine for you in one day, it will make you tired--not jumpy.

I learned that in university when they were sending out warnings about caffeine pills known as "wake ups".

Too many & or with coffee can cause the opposite effect.
