What does being wired mean? Serious question.
Caffeine acts on multiple parts of the brain and when your body breaks it down it makes other things that’s also act on different parts of the brain.
ELI5 why I get tired *after* drinking too much coffee?! Not because it’s worn off, but because I’ve drank it.
Curious, what is consider a high daily dose of caffeine?
Have you ever been physically tired but not mentally.
This is the opposite. It helps by telling your body it isnt time to sleep yet because the coffee made your body clock move back even though it isnt actually recovered.
Coffee is tricking your body into thinking its rested when its not, while it may actually still need a lot of sleep.
Because caffeine has multiple effects on multiple systems. Blocking tiredness is just one of them. It is also a central nervous system stimulant that raises heart rate etc. It’s this effect that can take you to being “wired” above your baseline alertness level.
