Caffeine is lowkey the most normalised and profitable drug addiction in the world, and it doesn’t really even do anything. The whole ‘giving you energy’ thing is a myth, all it does it make you tired without it. That’s why caffeine legally has to be listed as a ‘flavouring’ on the packaging, despite nobody on earth having a clue what it’s supposed to taste like

The whole ‘giving you energy’ thing is a myth, all it does it make you tired without it.

Absolute nonsense. I don’t drink coffee or tea, and if I drink a couple cups of coffee I end up with a hundred more tabs in the browser, two programming projects started and abandoned, a hundred notes tagged and reorganized, and a bunch of unnecessary and vaguely mean comments on Reddit and Lemmy. Possibly also a sore leg or shoulder from impromptu exercise.

You need to take control of your caffeine addiction.

Personally, I just want to take a nap after drinking coffee.

Check yourself for ADHD.

One of symptoms is that supposed stimulants have calming effect

alternatively… try hydrating. i thought it was the whole ADHD thing til i realized i get sleepy when i’m dehydrated…
