Some people process caffeine better than others maybe you are on the high end of the sensitivity scale.
I know a few sips of coffee and the caffeine make my heart pound. I only started drinking coffee ten years ago mostly cappuccino but I still am greatly affected by caffeine.
- rustynails 11y agoCafes are a great place to socialise. I took up coffee drinking a few years ago to be a part of this ecosystem. It took me 2 years of 5 coffees a week (close to 1 a day) to get used to caffeine. I experienced increased heart rate, sweating, delayed sleep (even 8 hours after a coffee). These days, I still need to drink coffee at least 6h before sleep, but I don't find myself getting wound up after 1 cup anymore. Two cups is a different matter.
- dghughes 11y agoI actually got to the point where I had to drink coffee to be able to sleep. I was at Starbucks near close and got a venti latte with six shots. I said to the cute barista girl it was to help me sleep but I think she thought I was being sarcastic, she left that week so I am left with the thought that she thought I was a dick. I can't recall where it is but a US University has a coffee room where many inventions were thought of mainly due to the social nature and brains revved up by coffee. And there is also a theory of the age of Coffee Enlightenment in England in the 17th/18th century https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_coffeehouses_in_the_17th_and_18th_centuries#The_Enlightenment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_coffeehouses_in_the_17...
