people i know drink coffee to sleep or calm their nerve's. Is this normal?
Hello tru2b,
Most people think of coffee as a stimulant because of the caffeine it contains and for many people it is. However, there are folks that fall asleep with coffee. this is not unusual. There are over a hundred differnt compounds found in coffee that work differently in different peoples systems. So, not to worry, your just fine. I rarely drink coffee because it makes my stomach ache and I shake all over. I feel like I'm going to fall apart. So, I'm a green tea drinker. Interestingly, green tea has caffeine (less than coffee) but it contains L-theanine (an amino acid) that counter acts the caffeine to calm you down. Poison with antedote. By the way, caffeine is a natural pesticide produced by plants.
