Get a bit of caffeine while still semi-reclined?
BTW, Isabella indicated lack of motivation is a sign of depression.
Coffee maker is a no-go, I used to drink coffee as a means of relaxing and enough of it can easily send me to sleep. Even when I have it when I'm fully awake and energised. On particularly anxious university nights, I'd drink it when I couldn't sleep and I'd always avoid it when I needed to pay full attention. It kills my creativity, makes my thoughts all fuzzy (due to tiredness), I zone out like crazy, and it appears to slow down my reflexes and response time. Which is why I'd crave it during times of high stress to relax myself. I've pretty much given it up entirely now. Except perhaps very occasionally. Of course, don't unhealthily avoid stress like I did, I'm not a good role model in that department. Avoiding caffeine is a good way of forcing myself to find healthier ways to deal with my stress.
I always said you were special.
I don't think I have ever met another person who is affected this way when ingesting caffeine.
Caffeine makes me very creative.
It gives me a lot of energy. (I finished putting the roof on my shed this morning with its help).
It lowers my inhibitions.
It heightens the entire emotional spectrum.
BTW, Caffeine is supposed to help with ADD and ADHA, I have read.
Well at least one of them.
