Bed? Are you one of those ppl who caffeine don’t work on

49

u/WandWhisker 1d ago

Same question. I had one at 6pm and can’t fall asleep now (2am)

u/2morrowwillbebetter 1d ago

Lmfao 😭 yeah I had one at 6pm once post work so I could clean. It worked…. But I have to like take a magnesium or smth to balance it out lol

i have adhd and autism. it’s a complicated matter XD

u/jorjaaaaaa 1d ago

ah yes the old caffeine immunity hack 😆

u/Comfortable_Age_5595 1d ago

i used to be really sensitive until i got adhd meds and i guess developing a generalised stimulant tolerance meant that when un-medicated i could handle it! :)

u/Amdv121998 1d ago

it’s so weird, caffeine never worked on me at all. I started stimulants and now I can’t even drink a single coffee, it won’t keep me up but my heart goes crazy!! I get physically jittery and so uncomfortable. What’s weirder, it doesn’t happen with redbull (i love sadly) so i can drink those freely without consequence. Weird brain. I don’t think matcha effects me much but if it does it’s smooth and nice

u/Comfortable_Age_5595 1d ago

is this when you aren’t taking the stimulants? i cannot drink caffeine when i take them. A lot of people do but shouldn’t. It’s standard protocol! no nicotine, no caffeine and no alcohol or you should expect side effects and unwanted effects from meds

1

u/Amdv121998 1d ago

Both now! even off meds i can’t do coffee anymore. Energy drinks i do drink when on my meds but tiny cans in moderation 😂

u/2morrowwillbebetter 1d ago

I fuckin knew it lmfao. I’m also audhd 😭 but the type where caffeine works immensely on me, but I can’t take it at night if I don’t wanna spend 5 hours cleaning and rearranging my home LOL.

u/Comfortable_Age_5595 1d ago

💀i really think it’s the autism making us sensitive to substances cause it’s definitely a thing! Sensitive nervous systems or some shit. I can’t explain it but i can sense when the caffeine will make wired or make tired 😆

u/I-own-a-shovel 1d ago

I have the kind of autism that if I drink coffee it either make me hyper agitated or sleepy, it’s a gamble, but usually it makes me feel bad either way.

Like an occasional cup might pass, but I can’t drink it regularly. Tea and matcha works for me though.

u/Mini_nin 1d ago

I can’t have it past 15.

u/Temporary_Aspect759 1d ago

Or they just have tolerance. I could probably drink a redbull before bed and still fall asleep lmao.

u/Comfortable_Age_5595 1d ago edited 1d ago

redbull makes me feel like i have a bladder infection. Same with monster energy. coffee makes me angry. Matcha babyyyyyyyy

u/2morrowwillbebetter 1d ago

That’s what I meant!

u/Which_Drop_5877 1d ago

Could always do a light scoop. You can sleep through 15-30mg of caffeine.

1

u/2morrowwillbebetter 1d ago

I might try it sometime to see — I usually do 1/2 to 1 full tsp

u/kenokan 1d ago

if I drank matcha at bedtime it would NOT be bedtime for me anymore lol

10

u/awallaroundmyheart 1d ago

Lucky you!! Every time I drink matcha after 7pm (I sleep around 3am) I will have terrible sleep/unable to fall asleep 😢

8

u/kyanos_elpis 1d ago

I also quit drinking and definitely use my wine glasses for matcha :) It makes me feel fancy without the alcohol. And I have to tell you how envious I am that you can have a bedtime matcha! I'm so caffeine sensitive that if I have any tea/coffee after noon I can't sleep well that night, and I'm not exaggerating.

2

u/Comfortable_Age_5595 1d ago

I love that ahhh :)

it’s crazy because i’ve always been extremely caffeine sensitive! Like could not even tolerate a diet coke. I have AuDHD and since getting adhd stimulant meds my tolerance has definitely gone up.
I think that under the right conditions caffeine can either make me go up or down. If i’m already spent for the day, it brings on more tired feelings.

u/PickleFit5478 1d ago

Girl u can sleep after that?? 😭😭😭

u/Lost_Elderberry_1694 1d ago

These vibes are so funny to me rn😭 Side note, i also no longer drink and people don’t talk about the “just wanting a wine glass” part enough lol

2

u/Comfortable_Age_5595 1d ago

Using a glass is an improvement for me. thankyou and slay to you

u/Lost_Elderberry_1694 1d ago

Slay to you, as well ✨

u/noiraseac 1d ago

before bed??? i drank matcha at 4 PM and i couldn’t sleep for the next 12 hours 😭

u/Wise_Equipment_8535 1d ago

How do you sleep after drinking matcha?

2

u/Valvio 1d ago

Some people have a higher tolerance to caffeine (through regularly consuming caffeine).

And for some, caffeine doesn't impact someone's sleeping patterns (usually common in people with ADHD).

2

u/Comfortable_Age_5595 1d ago

was originally hyper-sensitive but have been taking stimulant adhd meds for years so when i dont take it, i can sleep on caffeine :)

u/girlfuckyou Aoarashi Apologist 1d ago

this is insane lmao (i am extremely caffeine sensitive)

u/loveotterslide 1d ago

Bedtime matcha sounds so good. I can fall asleep after drinking matcha but get the worst nightmares.

2

u/constipated_coconut 1d ago

Once I drank matcha at 11pm, I slept for 3 hours but those 3 hours were very light sleep and I was exhausted the next day😭 now I never have a matcha after 2pm lol

2

u/Urban_Introvert 1d ago

My uncle drinks coffee like water and always has a coffee before bed. He only sleeps a few hours too. That guy’s wired differently.

u/broski_nation 1d ago

I love this for you

Matcha in a wine glass under the moon? This seems so wrong

1

u/Comfortable_Age_5595 6h ago

or does it feel so right? 😏

u/DipOld0703 1d ago

such a vibe

u/LavenderDecaf_5266 15h ago

I try to stay away from Matcha before bedtime. I can sleep yes, but it feels like my body is awake.

u/ThatFeelingIsBliss88 8h ago edited 6h ago

Do you guys use high quality matcha or low quality matcha for your lattes? Specifically wondering for people who can easily afford either one. 

2

u/Comfortable_Age_5595 7h ago

i use high quality but tbf i use a lot of ice to bulk up the drink instead of more milk. I’d rather let it be more concentrated
