Does Coffee Make You Sleepy?

Postby Nawleen » 08 Nov 2010, 20:48

Has anyone ever had those moments that you can drink coffee and instead of waking you up good it just makes you even more sleepy? I wonder if it is because maybe the person it affects like this is ADD or ADHD. I mean they get the caffenated coffe and all but just as soon as she drinks it she starts yawning and then often winds up back in bed taking a nap. Has this happened to you or someone you know?

Yes, it does make me sleepy sometimes but that happens only when I drink it too much, like 5-6 cups per day and before going to sleep. Always keep to the golden mean!

I have had it happen to me on occasion. I agree it is usually when I am already tired and have drank a lot of it during the day.

Yes, I can drink a whole cup and go back to sleep! I apparently need at least 2 cups to function and 3 if I actually need to be motivated. I do drink a cup at night sometimes and it actually relaxes me, but usually I opt for the hot chocolate at night.

I have experienced this and I think the reason for this is the effect of caffeine. If the effect of caffeine subsided then the body will eventually be tired and needed to rest. The problem is when we feel sleepy, we take more coffee to get more energy. The more coffee we drink, the more sleepy we become when the effect of caffeine is gone.

Everyone is different. With me, it always depends what time I'm drinking it. It's a bit weird. If I drink it in the morning, it wakes me up. When I drink it during the evening, it always hits the right spot. But when it's at night, it either has no effect one me, or makes me sleepy. I'm guessing it has something to do with my sleeping schedule.

Yeah, I tend to get a little sleepy as well from coffee. It's more something in the eyes, but it happens for sure all the time.

I've never had coffee make me tired or give me energy. I drink decaf coffee, so I don't get the same energy buzz from it that a lot of other people do. Also, when I sweeten my coffee, I use a sugar substitute, Truvia, instead of real sugar, along with a sugar-free creamer, so that I won't get a blood sugar spike followed by a sugar crash. FYI - If your coffee makes you tired, the sugar crash from too much sugar might be to blame! Just a thought. ;)

Coffee makes me sleepy when I drink too much. If I drink just my regular 2-3 cups per day then it perks me up. If I end up making a 2nd pot when I get home from work I will pass right out. I am not sure why this is.

You can become "immune" to the effects of caffeine, eventually needing more and more for it to do anything for you physically. I think any boost big time caffeine drinkers get is largely a placebo effect.
