coffee makes me sleepy

[doomey]

what is that all about?

I was thinking about asking this for a while. It only happens to me when I have evening coffee...6pm ish. I have it with milk, I was figuring the caffeine wont affect my tiredness and the hot milk finishes me off, or accelerates digestion thus taking blood from my brain. Would be intrigued to know. It wipes me out.

Coffee is actually actually quite a complexed substance, it is not merely a stimulant, but a restorative. It's effects depend largely on the condition of the body (tiredness levels etc) when we drink it. It can promote wakefullness, when we are already active, and conversley, sleepiness when we are overtired. It affects people in many different ways. Interestingly, it is also used a Homoeopathic remedy for insomnia.
