Caffeine- Missing from the Poll choices

[jimbridger]

A choice missing in the poll is this. Does caffeine help your brain but hurt your body? That's my experience.

I take less caffeine these days and drink more water.
2 or 3 cups of coffee do nothing for me as a stimulant. Painkillers and rest are the only way I can cope.

I can understand that. Caffeine at times boosts my cognition but saps my body - yes, indeed. Thanks for mentioning that.

Coffee makes me only half alert. Caffeine pills though, those work wonders for short periods. I think there's a difference between coffee and caffeine. Did you know coffee has melatonin in it? I wondered why I got in a habit of having a half cup before bed. For several months that was the only way I ever fell asleep.
