Majority of the time caffeine energizes me but I just drank a Celsius to help me go out to run (haven’t in a bit and wanted something to help grease the gears) and I’m feeling Sedated™

it mostly depends on the temperature. Usually hot coffee makes me sleepy.

ALSO, in case anyone’s confused, both at different times just means sometimes it energizes you, sometimes it makes you sleepy

depends on the mg. 40-50 doesn’t usually do anything.

I wouldn’t say it energizes me exactly, because I often still take a nap after drinking it, but I do struggle with insomnia most nights. Idk if it’s necessarily the caffeine though?

Hot coffee on its own doesn’t usually make me sleepy, but I got a milk frother recently and holy FUCK hot coffee with some frothed milk is so soothing, legit had that and one of the pillsbury shape sugar cookies before a nap and I was the coziest mf in the land

oh no it doesn’t take that much to affect me either. i had a latte from 7 brew not realizing it had 130mg at like 1pm once & i was completely wired until 11am the next day.
