I had a cup of tea yesterday at 10am.
I was still having palpitations at midnight, and was wide awake. Didn't sleep until 1am.
Is it just me who is this crazy sensitive to caffiene? How do so many people chug coffee all day and not have any problems?
I'll never forget the time I had an energy drink at the library once when I was at uni, and had to go home shortly afterwards to lie down!
AIBU?

There are links between adult ADHD and caffeine not having an effect on you!

(Am I waving at you or is that my hand shaking because I accidentally had a cup of tea last Sunday? 😂)

Could it be that you are very anxious about how caffeine affects the body and it's actually anxiety that is making you need a lie down/palpitations?

Most instant coffees give me palpitations, I'm guessing it's to do with the amount of caffeine. Most ground coffees are fine, but a few brands have the same effect as instant.
I used to love tea, but couldn't tolerate when I was pregnant, and haven't been able to drink it since.
Can't drink coffee after 2PM or I can't sleep (never used to be a problem in my youth!)
I get horrible caffeine withdrawal headaches. I don't drink more than three cups a day.
I like most herbal teas and so does DS (little toad nicked my advent calendar teas last year...I was tempted to pinch the chocolates from his).
