Why don’t energy drinks work for us???
I don't know. When I was younger, caffeine made me sleepy. Nowadays, it makes me focus.
It's great to finish activities, but I cannot take it frequently as it affects my mood if I do so (bipolar disorder). It's only my emergency focus 🪄.
Caffeine and AD(H)D seem to have all kinds of funky relationships/cross effects
For the same reason Adderall let's us focus, while it makes everyone else jittery.
I don't know if I have ADD, but amphetamines definitely help me focus when the dosage is medical and the intent is not recreational. I haven't heard of anyone not being more productive if they pop 10mg of D-amph at work. People get jittery when they do lines of speed in a rave.
Chemicals are weird. Thanks a lot, brain.
