Caffene crash

Post Reply New Topic

I had one today. It was the result of Newsquik chocolate Milk and an espresso in the morning. My the afternoon, I was done for. Took a 3 hour nap and i shrugged it off. Guess i O.D. of the stuff. I was not hyper, just a rush! Anyone else out there had a caffene crash?

I don't like caffeine crashes...
I fall victim to them quite often, that is every time after the caffeine I consumed runs out...I become very tired, anxious, sometimes even angry and not the best person to be around.
And yet I still continue to drink caffeine even though I ALWAYS experience negative side effects of it.
Ohh well.

I've never experienced anything of the kind, even the one time I drank four two-liter bottles of diet soda in one day. I've read that the "sugar crash" is just a myth, and I suspect the caffeine crash is just all in one's head as well.

If you're consuming caffeine drinks in conjunction with other foods that have a higher Glycaemic Index, then this will result in a greater crash later on due to a sudden Insulin spike. Therefore the Caffeine up and down will also occur with Blood Sugar up and down, which makes you more fatigued later on.

This is why when I consume Caffeine, I drink it as coffee or tea, and not as any of those relatively expensive (for caffeine weight) Energy drinks that contain sugar.

Caffeine really doesn't cause me to crash, but it does affect my stress levels to where I'm more prone to tensing up and meltdowns than I normally am. Recently, I went very close to cold turkey on caffeine (only two caffeinated sodas a week and I only eat small amounts of chocolate on rare occasions). Sure it took me a little time to get used to it, but I can wake up and function through the day just fine without it. MIght make eating out at restaurants a little harder when they don't have caffeine-free diet soda or free water, but I don't run into that issue very often.

Definitely have a caffeine crash. Though my crash feels so bad that I can not concentrate on work. I might start avoiding caffeine all together.

Sometimes I'll get really bad headaches if go a couple days without caffeine after usually drinking close to 1000mg per day.

I usually have a caffeine crash every Sunday.
