  • @jakethesnakelover
    @jakethesnakelover 2 ปีที่แล้ว +654

    I drink coffee almost every day because I love the taste and smell of it. But to avoid dependance on it I limit myself to only drinking it if I’ve had a good sleep. If I didn’t get enough sleep I won’t have coffee and that gives me the motivation to get proper sleep next time. So I use it like a reward system with positive reinforcement. I’ve been on pattern for like 5 months now and I don’t get any withdrawal symptoms when I miss a day and can easily go a few days without it.

    • @jakethesnakelover
      @jakethesnakelover 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The effect is also nice. I like it as a boost when I’ve already got energy, but I don’t rely on getting my energy from it. Because then I’d let other areas slip, like allowing myself enough time to sleep, and I’d become dependent on the energy boost to get me through. No, I like the mental acuity and energy boost, but not as a substitute for healthy energy. Plus decaf doesn’t sit right with me.

  • @francobuffoni2719
    @francobuffoni2719 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Something that the video glosses over is the fact that, caffeine blocks the receptors, but it doesn’t stop the adenosine from being formed. That means that it accumulates to higher and higher doses as time passes. So the withdrawal is even harder, since there is a huge amount of adenosine stored up waiting to be consumed. That mixed with bad sleeping habits/insomnia turns this little problem into a fight between the body trying to sleep and the habits trying to force you to drink more coffee to stop the sudden kick of adenosine from knocking you out, turning it into an addiction. Otherwise, the video is excellent and I’m glad people talk about caffeine and how it affects the body.

    As being previously addicted to coffee and recently quiting I felt all of these affects at some points my heart stopped beating and it was painful I seriously give advice to people who are starting to drink coffee to quit now or lower how much coffee you takr

    My lesson after the mood disorder: never intake any stimulants again. They might help you to be alert at first but the consequences that you take after is bitter and long-lasting. Instead of relying on them, people should exercise in order to stimulate our bodies to produce dopamine. It plays a role of a natural stress-relieving substance. That's when you are happier and increase your own productivity.

      It's a little more complicated for people who suffer from both mood disorders and anxiety because caffeine keeps you alert because it's a stimulate, whereas antidepressants are a sedative that makes you drowsy so in a way they both cancel each other out because antidepressants are SSRIs

    this video accidentally makes an *amazing* explanation for adhd on a biochemical level. explaining the adenosine/dopamine connection, why stimulants are used as treatment, and how it works on a detailed level, explained in a very easy to understand way. I've used this countless times in school projects and explaining ADHD to friends and family.

    I had an epiphany. When we digest food, it gets turned into ATP which releases adenosine. That’s why we sometimes feel tired after eating.
    That’s so cool.

      Also ATP is made from cellular respiration and gives us energy, and it says here that whenever adenosine triphosphate is broken down (aka it becomes only adenosine) we get sleepy, so is this why whenever we use up energy (use up/break down? ATP) we feel tired?

    I never drank coffee as an adolescent or young adult, I didn't like the flavor when I first tried it. Now, if I ever drink it I actually get put to sleep. My doctor said there could be multiple reasons for this but it really sucks for me because I don't have the advantage of just being able to drink coffee when I need more time for work/study.

    Wow, this is really informative and it's explained in a way that makes it really easy to understand. I drink coffee every morning when I wake up because it helps me feel more alert and less tired. If I don't have my 'morning fix', I usually get grouchy and I can still feel tired hours after I wake up if I don't drink some coffee. I haven't found that I need to drink more over time, in fact, I prefer to have less coffee and more sugar (I'd say the coffee to sugar ratio is about 45:65) I don't drink coffee for its taste (I actually don't really like the taste of coffee), I put more sugar in than coffee which probably helps give me more energy as well.
    Also, side note, is anyone here from Jacksepticeye? He made a video about his genetics and health and he talked about his caffeine consumption and pointed out this video.

    For the people who fall asleep after drinking coffee: you may have ADHD.
    Caffeine makes me fall asleep too and I also have ADHD.
    Reason: people with adhd have a dopamine imbalance or even a deficiency. Caffeine increases dopamine receptors which balances our brain’s dopamine levels (which is how it should normally be). And that makes us fall asleep. Because we’re calmer than when we’re not caffeinated.
