I started with green tea to ease my self into the experiment... I made one cup of Lipton green tea and added some honey to extra flavor/ sweetness. At first I felt great I could focus clearly and I got SO much done! A few hours later I got a minor head ache and felt a bit tired.
A few days later I drank a Starbucks double shot espresso energy drink. I was alert for a very long time and didn't have much of a head ache as I did with the green tea but it took me a long time to get the caffeine out of my system and took me a long time laying in bed to finally fall asleep.
My last experiment was with 5 hour energy. I had to drive during the night from Texas to Louisiana and was worried I wouldn't make it all the way there with out falling asleep; so before I started my 6 hour drive I gulped the 5 hour energy drink... WOW no telling how much caffeine is in that tiny bottle of stuff! OMG I was wired and I mean wired!! LOL I arrived at my destination at 1 am and I couldn't stop jitterbugging and didn't fall asleep until about 4 am. I couldn't control my self it was kinda scary to be honest.
That's my story of how caffeine effects me...I'll stick to water!!
Do you have a caffeine issue? Do you drink 3+ cups of coffee a day? What is your favorite from of caffeine?
I'll stick to the green tea if I ever need some pepping up! What an experiment that was!!

I stay away from most caffeine and generally only have 1-2 cups of coffee in the mornings, that is every morning. For a long while I really liked Red Bull, I stopped drinking them for about 2 weeks. I had one the other day and I noticed that after about 5 hours I was exhausted and ready for a nap or bed time. I think I'll stick with water as well. Thanks for input Mommapreneur!
ReplyDeleteYa I have drank Red Bull before but it didn't give me much of an energized...

That movie limitless has a deeper meaning to it if you think about it :) Thanks for your comment!!
