Ask HW: is this Normal?
Whenever i drink coffee ,after 5 minutes i always start feeling sleepy. Within 1-2 hrs i kind of lose my concentration to the extend i cannot focus properly and then i'm forced to sleep.Is this normal? Is there anyone out there having similar experiences?

- ericthegoodking 13y agomaybe it could have been sugar in the coffee or something.

- nealabq 13y agoI used to often wake up early, have a cup of coffee, and then fall back asleep for an hour or two. But the caffeine in coffee still had the normal stimulatory effect at other times. Now I drink very little caffeine, but I still have that nighttime sleep pattern -- 5.5 hours asleep, 1.5 hours awake/alert and up, 1.5 hours asleep, and then I'm awake and refreshed and ready for the day.
- jgeorge 13y agoHappens to me all the time. I don't know if it's physical or psychological but I have what I call a paradoxical reaction to caffiene - it puts me RIGHT to sleep. Also, it's not the sugar, at least in my case, because I don't use any. I'm diabetic and well aware of hi- and low-blood sugar symptoms. This is different at least for me.
