How does coffee make you feel in the morning?

One thing that gets people moving in the morning is usually coffee or tea.

Speaking of coffee, does caffeine affect you? Does it give you a boost, make you feel jittery, or does it not really do much at all?

It affects everyone differently. I have friends who can’t handle too much caffeine, but I could drink caffeine before bed and still feel fine. Personally, I drink it for the flavour more than the performance boost. Maybe it’s a placebo effect, but I like to convince myself that it’s doing something just so I have an excuse to buy more!

An interesting fact: caffeine could even make you sleepy. Caffeine blocks a chemical called adenosine, which helps promote sleep, but if your body metabolizes caffeine more quickly than average, the sudden change can leave you feeling more tired than awake.

So how does coffee make you feel in the morning?
