I'm one of those that can have a cup of coffee and fall asleep. The reason is not because of tolerance (though I do drink a fair amount). I can fall asleep after coffee because I have asthma and caffeine is a bronchodilator. A cup will help me breathe more easily, letting me fall asleep... sometimes.
I can't recommend it as a sleep aid, though.
- zzalpha 10y ago(Speaking as a person with well-managed asthma) I assume you're on a maintenance corticosteroid or long acting bronchodilator? I'd hope you don't regularly have trouble sleeping due to uncontrolled asthma...
- slowmovintarget 10y agoQVar, yes. Thank you.
- r00fus 10y agoI'm also a decently-managed asthmatic and I find Foradil (2-3x / week)to be much better. QVar - even 40mcg makes my heart hammer and feel ill. Combined with allergy medication and regular exercise (biking), it's enough. The same with QVar was daily, sometimes 2x/day. Back on topic - I'm like Rainymood, and have similar reactions to coffee - anything after lunch and I'm staying up later, but I stop for weeks or months at a time without any impact (sometimes I'm more productive overall during the day without my morning java).
- credit_guy 10y agoOff-topic, I got rid of my asthma symptoms after I started a keto diet. Don't take this as medical advice, I don't know if other people would have the same experience, but this is what happened to me.
