Why does caffiene make me tired?

Question

I'm not ADD or ADHD. I've also heard the theory that caffeine related tiredness results from dehydration and have disproved this in my case. Also any safe stimulants out there which I can use in place of caffeine?

Answer 1

It sometimes has that effect on me, too.  Try juicing wheat grass.  It will wake you up better than a cup of coffee, and it's totally natural.

Answer 2

I know some people get drowsy from caffeine - my brother and my boyfriend. To answer your question about other ways to keep your body energetic are 1) take Vitamin Bs, 2) eat of fruits, they have natural sugar that can boost your energy 3) eat peanuts or any nuts because it has natural Vit Bs in it.

My personal favorite is peaunt butter and honey sandwich. Honey has the sugar for quick energy and peanut butter is the slow energy that will continue after the boost from honey. :)

Hope it helps.

Answer 3

thats a first

Answer 4

Try coffee. Its safe and very hard to dangerously overdose.

Answer 5

Caffiene make the heart beats fast and keep most people alert.  I assume you are tired because of the irregular heart beats.

Try fruit juices, it is healthier and hard to overdoze..
