It’s 12:30pm. I woke at 10 20am, and I took 200mg caffeine pill, and I’m drinking an energy drink with 160mg.
Just took another pill so I’m gonna be at 560mg overall.
Most days I’m 360mg-400mg.
I just feel so damn tired despite sleeping well.
Need my T levels checked again

I drink about 5 coffees a day. I sleep about 12 hours.

Lots.
I have a 30oz Yeti tumbler that I drink iced coffee out of every day. I probably get through about close two of those a day… So around 60ish ounces.

Whoa, that’s a lot of coffee! Bet you feel wide awake though. Good feeling.

Haha, it is a nice feeling— sometimes though, I can overdo it and then I get hit with caffeine-induced anxiety.
You also take a decent amount of caffeine— I’m surprised you’re feeling a bit sluggish after all that.

Feeling more awake now. I think I was sluggish cos some days I get up at 12pm ish, so my body’s confuzzled.

Ah, gotcha!
Yep, sometimes I’ll also feel groggy if I wake up too late as well. It can be tough to get on track with sleep— takes a while. Good luck with it!

400-500 mg and I love it. I don’t feel addicted to it but the energy I get from it is necessary for me.

I take 2 cups of coffee when I wake up. Just 1 teaspoon of instant coffee in each.
Any more than that and I feel worse.

I quit coffee but eat a little bit of chocolate, so I get very little.

I drink a cup of coffee in the morning (pretty much mandatory at this point lol), then maybe a cup in the afternoon. I also drink hot tea to switch it up from coffee

That’s exactly what I do in the morning, or a few cups of tea.

I have a heaping teaspoon of instant coffee in half a mug of hot water. So pretty strong coffee. In the morning.
But I’m thinking of giving it up because it gives me an upset stomach

You could eat something light to use up the excess stomach acid? Maybe Crumpets or toast.
Yeah I had toast this morning. But I would like to fast through the morning

Try lowering the amount of instant coffee you use. That might be easier on a fasting stomach, or try tea. I fast also, so I know the feeling.

I’ve been there too, where you just can’t shake the tiredness even after a solid night’s sleep. Sometimes, your body gets used to that much caffeine, and it starts to have less of an effect. Maybe cutting back a bit for a few days or switching things up could help. Also, getting your T levels checked sounds like a solid move, especially if you’ve been feeling worn out for a while.
