Should you stop drinking coffee? #shorts

I have ADHD, and at hard times it can even help to fall asleep.
Something about it works is very weird, when you are sleepy it wakes you up and when you are tiered but stressed it can calm you down and help you sleep.

I don't drink coffee very often, but I do drink lots of diet pop. Caffeine has absolutely ZERO effect on my ability to sleep. It never helps "perk" me up nor does it give me "energy". I'm pretty sure it has no effect on me at all. I'm sick of people acting like caffeine has the same effect on everyone. I have an extremely high tolerance for ALL substances. It takes extremely high doses of almost everything for me to get any effect at all.

I don’t think this applies to people with unmedicated ADHD. I find by about 3:30-4:00 my ability to focus on almost anything is significantly reduced. Having a coffee helps me focus on the rest of the day and the important things I do in the evenings. Yes I know I need to see a psychiatrist but I need money first.

(Reference below!) Some researchers recently set out to investigate when we should actually stop drinking caffeine.

After analysing 24 studies, they concluded that this magic number is ✨8.8 hours✨ before bedtime.

Some of us may be less sensitive to caffeine (is that you?) but I tend to avoid coffee (and caffeinated sodas, energy drinks) after lunchtime. We love caffeine, but it can affect our sleep quality (as well as the time it takes to fall asleep). So just make sure your choices are working for you 🍵

Hope you're well, Vanessa.
What sort of consumption is "stop 8.8 hours before bed" based on? i.e. the equivalent of 2x espressos?

I don't understand people that continue to chug coffee through the entire day. I love the blend I get and make each morning, but I can't do more than that or I feel greasy and jittery.

That's very much how it works for me. A coke or any coffee after 12 pm means having trouble to fall asleep.

if I drink coffee in the morning, I still cant sleep in the evening, so I just don't drink coffee at all

Too bad I can't keep a short walk, a yoga or a shower at my office desk, when I am expected to function and perform efficiently every afternoon at work, but then I am expected to sleep early in order to wake up early to perform efficiently the next morning at work. 😂😅
