Did a search - no dice so I think I'm in the clear for posting this.

Coffee doesn't wake you up - that early morning cup just reverses the effect of overnight withdrawal - according to a study.

eer yeh should probably say I'm really anti people who say they need a coffee to wake up or just have coffee for 'breakfast'. :oP

oh yeh, should also say I'm not a fan of addictions.

    Coffee never wakes me up.:) I can drink one before I go to bed and sleep in 10 minutes.

    I think it wakes me up a little bit.

    There is a big controversy about coffee.

    I need it on week days....weekends...ehh not so much.

    Well, all I know is, that if I don't have my coffee....I am a very grumpy person whose day just doesn't go right from then on out. Of course I am so addicted to the caffeine, I drink almost 2 pots of coffee a day. LOL

    i am usually a 6-7 cup a day drinker, but
    i actually quit drinking coffee for 6 months , and i used to wake up much faster and stay awake during the day much better than i do drinking the coffee.
    unfortunatly i slipped back into the coffee routine.

    oh and caffiene withdrawals are nasty headaches ,not tiredness .. so you article isnt all that true about withdrawals

    I can't wake up until I reverse the effects of overnight withdrawal.

    It's not just the coffee, it's the morning ritual I enjoy. I get up way before the fam, have my coffee, and poke around on the internet. I love everything about it from the way it smells to the way it tastes. My days are much happier with coffee. Plus, it's sterile and I like the taste.

    Supposedly also cigarettes don't relieve stress; you only feel better when you have a cigarette because your body was stressing over not having one.

    Of course, while I don't smoke or drink coffee, I have my own addictions. (See below.) :P

    I used to drink coffee, to mimic my dad, when I was like 8 years old. We'd both sit together and drink coffee before I went to school with my little mermaid backpack. I got into liking it then, then kinda got more into the 'fancy' coffee, like sweet starbucks drinks and iced coffees in my teens. Then, I stopped cold turkey since I was about 18. Don't know why, it didn't bother me, I just stopped drinking it. And now when I drink it, I immediately get an awful stomach-ache within an hour, no matter how much or how little milk/sugar, etc I put in it. I can also seem to 'smell' it coming from my pores and sometimes my urine. WTH?

    Why do me and Coffee have such a difficult relationship?

    *As I sip some coffee* I need to have my coffee, but I am well aware that it is an addiction -- it if alters my personality in any way or form if I don't have it then that is addiction.

    Both coffee and tea have been linked to numerous health benefits. So what if the caffeine is addictive? You're still probably better off drinking coffee or tea than not drinking them.

    :drinker: It makes me happy and easier to be around in the morning, and even if it only feels like it is helping me wake up, that's good by me. I figure if this is my worst addiction, I'll take it :):drinker:
