Does the coffee work strangely for you?

Usually drinking the coffee will make me sleepless. However, this time it is different. Last night I drank a cup of coffee and I had no problem to fall asleep. However, I woke up at about 4am today. I am still energetic now and it is already 6:16am

coffee doesn't seem to affect me although I drink the liquid coffee with chicchory in it so maybe that is not as strong as normal coffee, for me it is very relaxing.

Perhaps I don't often drink coffee and this is why it works perfectly well for me

I have one friend who says that she needs coffee for going asleep.. She says that caffeine works different for men and women. Men become more alert and women sleep better.. who knows My grandma used to say: people say that they can´t sleep if they drink coffee, but I can´t drink coffee when I sleep..

Well, my experience is that if I am used to coffee, I can sleep well but if I get used to less coffee, then even a small amount makes me more alert.. I guess it may work in the same way for you too.. So we can pretty much regulate our intake of coffee and get used to a certain amount - could be good at times..if you understand what I mean..

I knew co-teacher who drinks coffee to help her ingest everything and in an hour she fully dissolved it. Coffee helps me sustain sleepy days and curb my craves.

Coffee always make my tummy feel unease and pain.. That is why I don't like coffee so much especially the strong type. It will make me go to washroom more than I should. About the effect between sleep and coffee, yes I admit that the drink will make me fall asleep late-as it is the main cause of my stomach pain, How can I sleep when I don't feel well~(^^) Now I just have coffee once in a while or when I just want to have a sip of it.(^^)

I have not drink it for a while and have a cup of instant coffee last week. Fortunately nothing happen even my tummy feel unease. I should avoid it but I think to have it once in a while is fine as long as it is not the strong type.(^^)

Drinking coffee been my fondness I think for 15 years now for me. I haven't noticed some strange it did to me. Well addiction I think is nothing matters right youless *LOL. I can drink 3-5 cups daily. It's just my migraine that stops me to drink more. I can sleep normally, not experiencing a sudden waking up like yours!

hi youless I guess I have drank four or five cups daily for so long it does not bother my sleeping but keeps me alert most of the day. I really love the stuff. It does have some positive effects.tests have been done on two groups of elderly women One group drank one cup or none, the other group drank three to five cups daily. the women who drank the three to five cups daily had 70 percent less chance of senility or Alzheimer disease than those who drank no coffee or only one cup.I am 85 and not senile so it must work.

In my case, during the day, I drink coffee most of those who can not even count them! Yes I know, it hurts! Exaggeration hurts! However, beyond that, I do not by any means sleeping problems drinking coffee, even sleep regularly at night and more or less every day I do the usual nap after lunch.

Hi youless! This is great, I have also experienced this before. I drank a cup of coffee before hitting the bed. I had no problem sleeping at all and when I woke up I felt super energetic! I was really sleepy at that time so I guess I fell asleep even before the caffeine took effect and it was just stored in my body until I woke up. That is why I felt so energetic! I love coffee but I have to limit my drinking. You know, GERD problem
