I am growingly convinced that coffee/caffeine hit people in very different ways. https://www.23andme.com/topics/wellness/caffeine-consumption/ https://www.23andme.com/topics/wellness/caffeine-consumption... has a few fun citations to look through on this, but discussions of how varied we are with how it impacts us is ridiculously invisible in most discussions of it.
Sleep is similar. We speak of "night owls" and such, but most discussion around the varied needs of sleep are age targeted. With most discussion on how we should let kids sleep longer.
- claytongulick 2y agoI'm one of those. I have this super weird thing where I'm hyper-sensitive to caffeine, and its effects will hit me sometimes 6+ hours later. If I have a cup of coffee in the late morning, it will keep me up most of the night, and a single cup of coffee will make me manic-ish. People have (doctors included) told me that what I was experiencing was impossible, that caffeine in metabolized in a certain way and completely out of your system quickly. Turns out, that's true with most people, unless you have a variant in the CYP1A2 gene, which can cause the effects I experience.
