has coffee ever made you...

[nvrbuffenuff_girl]

When I use to drink coffee I could only drink it at night. It would make me fall asleep. It wasn't the watered down American style coffee either. It was black espresso made with a little espresso machine. It was like drinking tar.

...tired? a few hours ago i had about 2.5 cups of coffee, but for some reason it's making me drowsy and tired... is it possible for coffee to actually do this to someone???

There are different levels of caffiene levels in coffee. The darker the coffee bean, the less caffiene it has.

Plus your natural sleep cycles make you very tired about 10-15 minutes every hour. That could be why you felt drowsy at that time (especially if it was in later afternoon).

Here's the way it works.

Caffiene stimulates the central nervous system (CNS). The body perceives the stimulation to be a threat to homeostasis, so to compensate, it kicks up the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) to calm you down.

Since the stimulation is exogenous (ie, caused by a force external to the body), once the caffiene has been metabolized and is no longer stimulating your CNS, the PNS can operate unopposed, leaving you sleepy.

I think.

There's also a phenomenon called paradoxical pharmacology where stimulants are actually sedatives for some people, and vice versa.

A few hours ago? Yeah dude, I think it's called a "comedown".

I heard a long time ago that not being effected by coffee is a sign on ADD.

The thing I heard was that if I a child with drinks a cup of coffee at bedtime they won't be effected.
